Does anyone know what time of day dandelions give nectar? Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day and my yard is full of blooming dandelions. Not a bee anywhere on them. Discouraging. I was thinking maybe it was the wrong time of day.

They are working some thing else right now.
Re: Dandelion Nectar
It is my understanding that Dandelions have nectar in the morning, and that it decreases as the day goes on.
Re: Dandelion Nectar
Is there a list or website of when plants give nectar?

A list of ohio's plants but most of them probably grow where you are too.

Re: Dandelion Nectar
My neighborhood has 90-some one acre lots, a quarter to half of them have lots of dandelion plus another 15+ acres of common area that is a sea of yellow. I just installed a package yesterday so I hope they can start making use of all those blossoms quickly.
