Rabbiteye Blueberry
Honeybees forage on rabbiteye blueberry for its plentiful nectar and pollen, making it a valuable early-season resource in the Southeast. Peak bloom occurs from April to May, aligning with emerging bee activity after winter. Multiple cultivars are needed for cross-pollination to maximize fruit production, and the plant requires acidic soil; carpenter bees may rob nectar without pollinating.
