Besides the Borage in my garden, the bees really seem to go for the oregano. I have a big oregano plant that keeps coming back every year bigger and bigger.
Once it goes to flower it is bee heaven, hundreds of them swarm on it all day.
Bees like small flowers, like the ones on dill and fennel and this oregano has tiiny white flowers in abundance. So I let it go to flower for the bees and then I let it go to seed to make sure it will come back next year by reseeding itself.
Before it flowers I harvest lots of the leaves and dry them so I will have oregano to cook with all through the winter.
So plant some herbs for yourself and for the bees they will undoubtedly attract.
