Yellow Bush Lupine
Lupinus arboreus
In the United States:
Native
· also called yellow bush lupine, tree lupine
Honeybees forage on yellow bush lupine primarily for high pollen loads, with moderate nectar supporting colony needs during bloom. Peak bloom late spring to midsummer provides reliable garden-scale forage. Can spread aggressively outside its native coastal range — monitor and manage to avoid ecological issues.
