These are some of the flowers in my yard to which bees are attracted. I took some of the photos and Maidi took the rest. We don't know the identity of those other than blackberry, lavender, peas and sunflower. The bees probably don't either, but the nectar and pollen are good. I understand that the bees also like cucumber flowers and I also see them on the hedge by the deck and a few on the roses. Behind our house is a pyracantha bush that has lots of bees.
the yellow flower, third from bottom, is called bidens. I got mine through Maidi, actually. bees love it in my garden, too!
