White Yarrow
Achillea millefolium
Honeybees visit white yarrow for its abundant and accessible nectar and pollen, making it a reliable summer forage source. Peak bloom occurs in midsummer, providing consistent rewards from late spring through early fall in many regions. It spreads aggressively via rhizomes and can become invasive in some areas, so beekeepers should monitor and divide clumps to maintain garden balance; it's highly drought-tolerant once established.
