Blue flowers are highly attractive to honeybees and bumble bees. Butterfly bushes and boarage are particularly inviting to them, as is Liatris, Lavender, Thyme, etc.
Here is a site that has common flowers that they like.

At my house, roses, sun flowers, pineapple sage, lavender. They LOVE onions and chives and I grow extra and let them go to seed.
very cool, I usually buy some of these, so will incorporate more as will have 3 bee houses out...thanks ever so much!!!
Hi Irene - Not sure about attracting, but to help with keeping bees - Hubby built this adorable bee skep to help keep the pollinators in our yard. Hope this helps with some inspiration! Hugs, Holly
