Spring Pollen Sources

Spring pollen sources for honeybees typically include a variety of flowering plants such as fruit trees (e.g., apple, cherry, peach), early blooming flowers (e.g., dandelion, crocus, snowdrop), and wildflowers (e.g., clover, daisies, willow). These diverse sources provide bees with the necessary pollen and nectar to build up their colonies after winter.
