Re: Help! good shrubs for bees?

My garden is always full of bees and hoverflies in the summer, We have
  • Cotoneaster franchetti
  • Cotoneaster rehderi
  • Buddleia davidii
  • Berberis thunbergii
  • Berberis x stenophylla

These are always popular with the bees when they are in flower. The Berberis thunbergii, Buddleia davidii and Cotoneaster franchetti have been the most popular. Wasps also like them as well.
