White clover
Trifolium repens
Honeybees heavily forage white clover for its abundant nectar and pollen, contributing to a surplus honey flow during its bloom period. Peak bloom occurs in June and July, providing a reliable early summer resource. It spreads aggressively via stolons and can become invasive in lawns and pastures, requiring management to prevent overdominance.
