Large-leaved Lime (Summer Lime) flowers in June, about two weeks before the small-leaved lime, and pours out very abundant nectar; its pollen supply, on the other hand, is low. Its honey is white to greenish-white and has a strong minty scent, owing to its high proportion of essential oils. It commonly stands in avenues, parks and towns and then provides a productive urban flow.
