Is there a suitable set of flowers for each month/season,
early spring to late autumn, which could be planted/grown
in order to keep bees buzzing for as long as possible ?


or


Which flowers should I have already flowering during early
spring so that the bees can get their own act up&running as
early as possible ?
And then which flowers do bees like that are late flowering
so that bees have something to work on in late autumn ?


Crocus had a huge list of bee friendly plants on their site.

Yes, but don't go thinking that will make much/any difference to your
honey crops - the scale is way too small . Nonetheless, it's nice to
see the bees working on something you've planted.
