Vitex

Honeybees are drawn to Vitex agnus-castus for its plentiful nectar and pollen, making it a key mid-to-late summer forage source that helps sustain colonies during dearth periods. Peak bloom typically hits in July and August, with flowers attracting bees from morning till night. It can self-seed aggressively and become invasive in southern U.S. states like Texas and Florida, so beekeepers should monitor spread in natural areas.
