I have two hives plus an abundance of wild pollinators. It’s challenging to pick their favorites as different pollinators seem to prefer different plants. The honey bees love banana flowers, tulsi and other basils, bee balm, pear flowers to name a few. The bumble bees are very territorial about the comfrey flowers I notice. This time of year the bees are loving the wild Spanish needles that I leave growing for them, even though the seeds are a big nuisance. I don’t have the heart to take them away from my bees. Soon the salt bush will bloom and it will be full of thousands of pollinators. That’s a treat for me and them. Thanks for your great seeds! Linda
I love my French lavender shrub, & so do the bees! (The little flock of bushtits likes to looks for tasty bugs in it, too.)
Milkweed was my # 1 bee attractor this season
It’s difficult to pick a favorite, but this past spring I grew a bunch of bachelor buttons – they were so cute and pretty and attracted a bunch of Green Sweat Bees, which are also cute and a pretty iridescent green! I also really love basil because it tastes great, the bees love the flowers, and they replant themselves for me! =) The bees also love my lavender, but then I kept finding a praying mantis hanging out in there, so it seems it was making a snack of the bees that were snacking on the lavender! =O It was neat to see the mantis, though! #circleoflife
Basil and Lavender
Basil. Rosemary. Bee Balm. We have honey bees and they LOVE herbs!

Dandelions! I just moved, so I need to get some bee-friendly plants started in the spring.
The bees love my raspberries.
Bee balm!
This is the first year a planted a bee and butterfly garden. Salvia, lavender, and daisies. But my favorite this year was the Butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa).
I don’t have any bees yet. I keep planting- roses, hibiscus, salvia, lemon bee balm, herbs, fruit trees, veggies, wild flowers, your save the bees mix, etc. I’m seeing a major increase in butterflies but, haven’t attracted any bees… yet. Fingers crossed for next year… When they say that bees are dying in the wild, I can definitely attest to that in my region. Probably due to all the pesticides used in fields around me.
Roses upon roses upon roses :)
No favorite bee attracting plant.
The bees love our Hostas which I love since they don’t require anything but love, water and sun!
It would have to be mint for us!
