Tulip Tree

[josbees]

I have two huge tulip trees with giant blossoms and lots of nectar.  I'm hoping my girls will like these.  Does anyone know if this is a bee favorite?

Are you talking about poplar trees? If so, the bees love them.

There are two species of Liriodendron in the US.

Liriodendron tulipifera is a US native, and pollinated by assorted beetles. It's also the host plant to a few species of Swallowtail butterfly.

Liriodendron chinense as the name suggests is native to Asia, where Honey bees are native.

I don't know if bees stay away from Liriodendron tulipifera but I would say they're more likely to work L. chinense.
