Red Mangrove
Honeybees actively forage on red mangrove flowers for nectar and pollen, contributing to specialized coastal honey flows in Florida and similar regions. Blooming occurs year-round with peaks in summer and fall, providing a consistent resource during warmer months. It thrives in brackish coastal wetlands, making it ideal for beekeepers near mangal ecosystems but unsuitable for inland apiaries.
