A good budding discussion over at Native plants.

Any beekeepers want to chime in?

Find a local nursery / seed supplier, and buy their native wildflower mix. Plant that where ever it will grow. The vast majority of species of bees in a given area are adapted to native plants. Invasive / non-native plants may not be a viable source of food for them. I have a huge number of bees that visit my yard, from making viable habitat over the course of years.
