Answer 3

I wish I had bees I haven't seen a honey bee in my yard this year.

They like the red flowers the least.

I thought you might need this information to be better informed.

How do bees see? Bees cannot see the color red. But they do see a color we can’t: ultraviolet (UV). UV is what gives us a sunburn. But to a bee, it’s a whole different color. Since bees can’t see red, red flowers are pollinated in other ways, by bats, butterflies, birds, or the wind. Flowers that want to attract bees have colors that bees can see. Often, white flowers, which look plain to us, actually reflect UV light, so they look very pretty to the bees.

Don't plant yellow or purple flowers. That seems to be their favorites.

You might consider something like these when they start to flower cut the flowers off.

These are annuals, but beautiful.
