True, but that is because the flowers (and the decaying fruit) smell like
putrid rotting meat. These trees are pollinated by flies.
Not a really nice tree to have close to the patio!!

I know of one tree/shrub that honey bees are not attracted to. The Paw
Paw, Asimina triloba. The small brownish purple flowers draw very few
bees of any kind.
