Black-eyed Susan
Honeybees forage on Black-eyed Susan for its plentiful nectar and pollen, making it a valuable summer resource during periods of nectar scarcity. Peak bloom spans June through September, offering extended support for bee colonies. It self-seeds prolifically to maintain populations without becoming invasive, though deadheading can encourage reblooming.
