Planting for the bees

I've got some flowering plants from my neighbour :) They are perennial and I will do my best to propagate them every year. Honey Bees prefer to forage on flowers which are in abundance so growing just a few plants of same specie will be ignored (not wasted though since Bumblebees will take care of it).
Bumblebee foraging on the newly introduced European Columbine both white and blue :)
The second addition is a beautiful and hardy Italian Bugloss
