cherry blossom

Prunus serrulata

Honeybees forage on cherry blossoms for nectar and pollen in early spring, aiding post-winter colony development; peak bloom aligns with April in temperate regions; ornamental varieties with double flowers may produce less nectar per bloom but trees still support bees effectively.
