Sumac

Honeybees visit staghorn sumac primarily for its abundant pollen and moderate nectar supplies during the peak bloom in June to July, serving as a valuable early summer forage source. The dioecious flowers mean male plants offer more pollen while females provide better nectar, encouraging bees to move between them. It can spread aggressively via root suckers in gardens, requiring management to prevent it from becoming weedy, though it's drought-tolerant and deer-resistant once established.
