From Hurrells Specialist Seed in the UK, who also sell the following Landscaping Grass Seed and Wildflower Seed:-

We supply a great range of mixtures - 'designed for success wild flower mixtures' using only guaranteed English Native wild flowers:-

"One of Britain's most diverse habitats, wildflower meadows can contain 40 species in one square metre, including: bees and beetles, butterflies and moths, spiders reptiles, amphibians, bats and birds. Many of these insects are pollinating, making them valuable for food crops. Wildflowers also hold on to rainwater, help to mitigate flooding, and procure vast amounts of carbon.
Since the 1930s, over 97 per cent of our wildflower meadows have been lost – equal to 3 million hectares (7.5 million acres). The habitat now makes up just 1 per cent of the UK. We work hard to look after the meadows in our care to prevent further loss, and are taking part in the Save our Magnificent Meadows project, which will protect, conserve and restore wildflower meadows and other grasslands of the UK.
In Britain's Wild Flowers, Rosamond Richardson reveals more about the flowers that make up these meadows and how they support our eco-system today." from National Trust.

You can download this page and put this table into WORD or PAGES and add columns to give you common name, foliage colour, plant type, soil, soil moisture, sun and use.
Then, reorder table according to common name, etc.
You then have a useful flower colour table for each month of bee-pollinated plants. This process can be carried out on any of the pages in this website.

Best plants for bees by BBC Gardeners' World Magazine Published: Friday, 18 March, 2022 at 8:30 am
Our gardens are extremely important for bees and other pollinators, providing them with the nectar and pollen they need to thrive, as well as nesting habitats. Nectar provides them with the energy they need to fly and find a nest, while pollen provides bee grubs with the protein they need to grow. By growing a good mix of flowering plants in your garden, you can provide a wealth of nectar and pollen for a wide range of bee species.

How to grow plants for bees

  • Choose single, open flowers where you can see the central part of the flower – where the bees can access the nectar and pollen. Different bees are active at different times of the year. Some emerge from hibernation as early as February, while others are still flying in November. To give bees the best possible chance to thrive, it's therefore important to grow flowers from late winter to autumn – all year round if possible.
  • Planting spring bulbs? A great way to help bees in spring is to plant spring-flowering bulbs in autumn. Bulbs are hardy and reliable plants, so you can guarantee the bees will have a source of pollen and nectar when there's little else in flower.
  • Planting bulbs in containers is an easy way to ensure you don’t miss their colourful displays, especially if they’re along the front path, next to the back door or on your patio. Choosing varieties that are rich in both nectar and pollen will be a lifeline for the first emerging bumblebees, some of which come out from hibernation as early as February. Plant bulbs that flower over a long season, including early-flowering crocus and late-spring flowering fritillaries. By combining bulbs, you’ll not only create eye catching pots but attract different pollinators, too.
  • Grow single flowers for bees
    Most double flowers are of little use, as they have so many petals the bees can't get to the central part of the flower, where the nectar and pollen are found. Roses and dahlias are often bred to have double flowers, but there are plenty of beautiful single-flowered varieties to grow, instead.
  • Grow purple flowers for bees
    Bees can see the colour purple more clearly than any other colour, and some of the best bee plants, such as lavender, alliums, buddleia and catmint, have purple flowers. That said, many flowers in other colours will still attract bees, so don't pull them up!
  • Grow tubular-shaped flowers for bees
    Tubular-shaped flowers such as foxgloves, honeysuckle, penstemons and snapdragons are an important source of food for long-tongued bees such as the garden bumblebee, Bombus hortorum.
  • Grow flowers all year round
    Most bees are most active from March to September, but some emerge from hibernation early in mild winters, while buff-tailed bumblebee queens will occasionally start nesting in autumn, rather than hibernating, establishing a 'winter colony'. Aim to have at least two nectar- or pollen-rich plants in flower during winter. Plants like winter honeysuckle and winter clematis are perfect for the job.
  • Spring flowers for bees
    • Bluebell
    • Bugle
    • Crab apple
    • Crocus
    • Flowering cherry and currant
    • Forget-me-not
    • Hawthorn
    • Primrose
    • Pulmonaria
    • Rhododendron is fine for bumble-bees, but toxic to honey-bees. Use Clematis as an alternative.
    'Mad Honey' from Rhododendron ponticum in its native northern Turkey is toxic to humans. The toxins of Rhododendron are grayanotoxins.
    Same lethal 'Mad Honey' problem from Azaleas, but this time with andromedotoxins. Use Digitalis as an alternative.
    Gardener's growing Rhododendrons or Azaleas are killing the local honey bee population.

Cash strapped Councils could save money and help bees and pollinators by planting CLOVER as

  • 1) clover lawn areas, instead of grass, around public buildings,
  • 2) create clover, instead of grass, roundabouts,
  • 3) clover strips instead of grassy verges,
  • 4) include within formal planting schemes to provide free fertiliser for the adjacent lavender or other plants
  • 5) seed clover mixed with buttercup and bird's foot trefoil to grow on brownfield sites such as among the ruins of the old industrial buildings. Instead of applying weedkiller with the aim of 'tidying up', these can then be left alone by councils.

for the following benefits:-

A) Reduce mowing costs,
B) Suitable for areas where taller grasses would otherwise impede visibilty for traffic,
C) Low risk of 'litter trapping',
D) Help councils achieve aims to create pollinator habitats,
E) Relatively hard wearing and drought resistant varieties available,
F) Thrives in poor soil, and nitrogen fixing - so would as a legume provide free food for trees and shrubs planted in same area and
G) Attractive and fragrant.
