The plant is from the mint family so no surprise that its very popular with native pollinators and honeybees. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have an amazing wetland location in central Minnesota with several square miles of untouched marshland with 600-1200 acres of False Dragonhead that blooms at the end of July and into early September. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur honeybees climb inside of the Dragonhead Blossom in order to reach the nectar and cover themselves with orange pollen.
