Various exotic elderberry species (Sambucus spp.) thrive in Poland, offering unique culinary and flavor qualities. Notably, Himalayan elderberry (Sambucus adnata) and Canadian elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) are highlighted for their potential as nectar sources for bees, despite limited visitation by honeybees. These plants bloom in summer, providing essential resources for pollinators during a less competitive flowering period.
