Viburnum
Viburnum spp.
In the United States:
Native
· also called arrowwood viburnum, southern arrowwood
Honeybees primarily visit Viburnum dentatum for its pollen, with nectar rewards being minimal and short-lived. Peak bloom in late spring offers an early-season foraging opportunity in temperate climates. The shrub suckers from the base and may require pruning after flowering to control spread, while being susceptible to deer browsing in wildlife-prone areas.
