Not a spring ephemeral, but I was surprised to learn that WILLOWS are a prime source of pollen/nectar for bees in very early spring. The bigger tree willows (weeping willow, black willow, etc.) are best, but even the smaller shrubby willows are good.
Thanks for sharing your research! It's always very informative!
