Depends on the season but at the mo it's the clover in the grass which is definitely not a lawn in the accepted sense and they also like the flowers on my strawberry mint and hostas.

Cotoneaster Horizontalis! I was at Great Dixter, near the door of the house there was a specimin of this small shrub and it was covered with bees. It had so many bees that it was making a sound like a lawnmower. I was stunned as there was plenty of other choices for the bees nearby. I planted one near my summer house, but alas, though it did have some visitations, no repeat performance yet. Bees are intelligent and have some very strange habits.

Good old lavender for our little guys! They can’t get enough! They’re also enjoying the buddlia.
