Multiflora Rose
Rosa multiflora
Honeybees primarily collect abundant pollen from multiflora rose flowers during peak bloom in June-July, with minimal nectar available. This invasive shrub forms dense thickets that displace native vegetation in eastern North America, requiring active management to control spread.
