What Trees Do Bees Like?

10/8/2019

You're correct if you think that trees are frequently overlooked in plant lists for bees. Up until now, more folks seemed to be interested in trees that didn't attract bees.

Planting pollinator patches have become a critical gardening trend as folks are becoming aware of the declining bee population.

What trees do bees like?  Below are some great species.

American linden or basswood.  A tree with pale-yellow flowers in June trailed by summer nutlets. Thrive over 45 feet tall and up to 35 feet wide.

Southern Magnolia. A spectacular evergreen with white flowers and shiny green leaves with tan undersides. Gets over 30 feet tall and over 20 feet wide.

Chokecherry.  A little tree that gets bunches of white flowers from April to May. Flourish over 15 feet tall and 15 feet wide.

Redbud.  A tiny flowering tree that's one of the first to blossom in spring with little lavender flowers all along the limbs even before the leaves grow. Develops between 15 to 20 feet tall and over 20 feet wide.

Crabapple.  Another small flowering tree with attractive blooms of pink, magenta, and white in early spring then nice-size fruits in summer and fall — flourishes up to 20 feet tall and over 15 feet wide.

Tupelo or Black Gum.  A damp-soil-tolerant, medium-sized tree with little green-white flowers in late spring and vivid maroon fall foliage. Females produce blue fruits that birds enjoy. Gets up to 50 feet tall and over 25 feet wide.

Serviceberry.  An excellent small April-to-May thriving tree with white flowers followed by blue June fruits that birds adore. Also grows lovely burnt-gold to maroon fall foliage. Gets over 15 feet wide and tall.
Seven-son flower. This one is native to China but appealing to butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds due to its late-summer bloom time (September, when few other trees are Gets close to 18 feet tall and up to 10 feet wide.

If you would like more information on what trees are attracted to bees, get in touch with a Syracuse tree service company. An arborist can let you know what to do to get your pollinator garden.
