Carolina Silverbell
Honeybees visit Carolina silverbell primarily for its abundant nectar during the early spring bloom from April to May, offering a vital food source as colonies build up. Peak bloom typically hits in April within its native range, supporting significant foraging activity. As a small native tree, it thrives in moist, acidic soils but is sensitive to drought and compaction, which can reduce flowering if not managed.
