and pollen for the bees is the goal of many beekeepers. In North Carolina, the Golden
Raintree (Koelreuteria paniculata) can fill both of these requirements: it is a beautiful
addition to any landscape and it produces nectar during late June and early July when there
are few other nectar sources available to the bees."
