Saw Palmetto
Saw palmetto is a major nectar and pollen source for honeybees in its native range, contributing significantly to honey production in Florida and the Southeast. Peak bloom occurs in spring from April to June, providing a reliable early-season flow. Its tendency to form dense thickets can enhance large-scale foraging but may require landscape management to control spread.
