Snowdrop
Galanthus
- Flowering period
- February–March
- Nectar
- mäßig
- Pollen
- mäßig
The Snowdrop flowers in February and March and, on mild days, is one of the very first places bees fly to all year. Nectar and pollen are rated moderate to medium. It counts for nothing in terms of yield, but at this time of year any source is welcome. In gardens and floodplain forests it often stands in dense carpets.
