Personal observation: , bees are attracted by hollihox, Geraniums, Marigolds and Zinnias. I have 2 bee hives in my backyard, one in the Bougainvillea bush and another one in Rangoon creeper. they seems to be very choosy about flowers. ;)

I didn't belive when i first saw number of bees crawling around small flowers of conocarpus erectus at my home and on my detailed inspection i found many species of other flies on the flowers hence proved cono is also a powerful bee magnet.
