A few flowers that according to online references, seem to be attractive to by bees:
Honeybees and many native species do important work in our orchards and gardens by pollinating up to one-third of every bite of food we eat.
Bees need nectar, which has sugars for energy, and pollen, a “food” rich in proteins and fats, so choose plants that provide these.
Crocus and hyacinths in spring, zinnias in summer, and asters in autumn. Native plants and wildflowers are also excellent to attact bees to you garden.
