violet
Honeybees visit common blue violets for minor early-season nectar and pollen when few other sources are available, supporting emerging colonies. Peak bloom occurs in April to May in its native range. This plant can spread aggressively via seeds and rhizomes, sometimes considered weedy in lawns, but it provides valuable resources without needing special management.
