Sunflowers
Some types of flowers may be more desirable for bees than others depending on several factors, such as the shape or color of the flower.
The tongues of some types of bees are also characterized by their length or shortness, and this determines the shape of the flower whose nectar can be reached to absorb it, as long-tongued bees do not care much about this aspect, while the short tongue is one of the determinants that make the bee tend towards open types of flowers,
Like sunflowers or chrysanthemums, bees are attracted to specific colors of flower petals, such as purple, blue, white, and yellow, and it is also noted that bees are attracted to local cultivated plants more than non-native plants, through which they obtain the nutrients they need, in addition to preferring perennial flowers as well.

Crocuses
Hi @DieOmimi I would have voted sunflowers because they are fantastic for bees, however on this vote I have chosen the crocus because they are one of the first flowers to bloom in Spring.
This makes them an important food source for nectar and pollen after a long Winter. Hungry bees are attracted to the beautiful blooms and detectable fragrance.

Sunflowers
I voted for sunflowers in Week 2 and I am voting again for Sunflowers for Week 3. Bees pollinate one-third of the food we eat. Sunflowers are rich nectar and perfect color to attract bees. The pollen from sunflowers has also been found to boost the immune systems of bumble and honey bees against debilitating pathogens. (From the Web)
