Creeping Blueberry
Vaccinium crassifolium
In the United States:
Native
Honeybees visit creeping blueberry for its nectar and pollen during the spring bloom period, which peaks in April and May in temperate climates. This low-growing evergreen shrub forms dense mats via rhizomes, providing groundcover that can support foraging in acidic, well-drained soils. It may require protection from excessive deer browsing in open areas.
