pulmonaria for bees

Do bees prefer any particular pulmonarias e.g. officinalis or saccharata rather than the newer named ones?
East Dorset, new (to me) rather neglected garden.

    Don't know about that l'm afraid, but they do love "Blue Ensign" in my experience  :)

    My bog standard ones are always covered in bees. I leave them until other plants are available and then pull out the ones with boring leaves or powdery mildew.
    In London. Keen but lazy.
