I read that those are the flower colors bees find most appealing. Flat or shallow blossoms, such as daisies, zinnias, asters and Queen Anne's lace, will attract the largest variety of bees. Long tongued bees will be attracted to plants in the mint family, such as nepeta, salvia, oregano, mint and lavender. Long tongued bumblebees are attracted to flowers with hidden nectar spurs, such as larkspur, monkshood, monarda, columbine and snapdragons.

That is very interesting. Considering the disappearing bees all over the world, I may look into this matter a little closer and put suitable plants on our balcony this summer. Thanks for sharing!
I left you a reward at my blog!
