Daisys, tulips, marigolds. Mostly its the bright colored flowers such as those I do believe. Bees cannot see red, but see ultraviolet wavelengths so colors in the blue and violet spectrum are attractive (ie - rosemary). If a flower is a good producer of nectar or pollen, bees will be attracted to it regardless of color. See the links below for some examples.

It doesn't matter if you have a perennial, annual, dicot or monocot, bees are attracted to certain colors and patterns that signal the bee that a visit would be nice. When at the flower, the bee drink nectar while pollen sticks to their legs. The pollen can be redistributed to other same specie flowers for reproductive purposes. It also feeds young bees, while the nectar is turned into honey.

Some examples of flowers that bees like:

  • Aster family
  • Sunflowers
  • Salvia family
  • Bee balm
  • Hyssop
  • Mint family
  • Spider flower
  • Thyme
  • Poppy
  • Bachelor's buttons

Bright colored, non-tubular, sweet-smelling floral parts which have accessible nectar and pollen are the flowers which bees land on. The insects in question (Apis spp) choose flowers which are not wind pollinated. They likewise do not frequent flowering plants whose floral parts are too densely hidden and protected by such other parts as bracts, leaves, or thorns.
