I have two excellent books regarding plants for Honey bees.

Plants & Beekeeping by F. N. Howes

The Beekeepers Garden by Ted Hooper & Mike Taylor. (ISBN 0-7136-3023-X)

See if you can get a copy of either and you will be amazed how many plants there are for Honeybees.
In the books they go right through the season advising what plants should be flowering at a given time.

Good luck with the plants.

Best way is go to fields and look what bees are doing there and what color pollen they get from flowers.

I have been reminded that regular comfrey produces lots of viable seeds and can become a nuisance.

The recommended infertile variety is Russian Comfrey (Bocking 14), which is grown from roots planted at the end of winter. It's available from the Organic Gardening Catalogue.

my sedum attracted the bees like mad this year. Also a plant that i havent seen listed but that every year has endless activity is the skimmia bush. nice sent too once established. If you want a bit of sedum stump sent let me know I ahve a fair bit of it and so long as you dont have hungry chucks its grows almost like a weed! I end up splitting it each year. I was told that hellibors are good early supply for bees as well as single camellias.
