I put the photos in this calendar in the month in which I take the picture. There are quite wide seasonal variations in temperature and light levels in the British Isles, so obviously this is  a rough guide. 
 August
   Salvia Amistad                                         Linaria (toadflax)
Picture
Picture
Aster frikartii "Monch"                         

flowers for many weeks in late Summer
and early Autumn                                                               Agapanthus
Picture
Picture
Agastache "Black Adder"
all the bees I know, find this irresistible.
Picture
 Salvia uliginosa

    September    
                                          
   Penstemon are still flowering                          Echinacea
      their socks off in September.
Picture
Picture
   Sedum
Picture
Helenium
Picture
Many varieties, in all the sumptuous autumn colours....gold, red, bronze and orange.
Picture
   Nasturtium
Picture
This has been flowering for months, but really
starts rampaging around in September.
October
The garden slows down now, but bees
   are still visiting
a few plants like 
                              Ivy                                         
Picture
Tithonia
Picture
Picture

Picture
Dahlias
Dahlias come in many shapes and colours and some start flowering as early as July.....but they go on late into the autumn....single, simple flower headed varieties are the most accessible for bees.

January
Chimonanthus praecox
(praecox meaning very early developing)
Very sweetly scented, and a great asset to a Winter garden

Picture
 February
Snowdrops
Picture
     Winter Aconite                                     
Picture
Picture
                    Hellebore
        Plant in dappled shade
Sarcococca confusa
plant in shade in a pot or the ground......smells DIVINE

Picture
Primrose
Picture
Viburnum tinus
Picture
Quite honestly, I don't like this shrub. For most of the year it is a dark and dumpy black pudding of a plant. However, in late Winter and early Spring, it is covered in tiny white flowers, which the bees love, so I forgive it it's dowdy appearance, tuck it away somewhere unobtrusive and let the bees enjoy.
Picture
Crocus
Picture
March
Prunus "Okame"
Picture
This pretty ornamental cherry flowers quite early; end of February into March......it grows as a small tree  (about 4 metres), but if your garden is  really tiny, you can still have it, as it also comes in a shrub form, reaching about 1.5 metres over time........really good early feast for bees... saw a bumblebee on one today (13th March)
Chionodoxa
Very pretty blue  flowers (bulbs)...... for very personal reasons this plant epitomises March for me and the bees love it
Picture
Anemone blanda
Picture
Picture
Perennial Wallflower, Erysimum "Bowle's Mauve"
Picture
More Hellebore
Picture
Pulmonaria (Lungwort)
Very popular with Hairy Footed Flower Bee
Picture
Viburnum bodnantense "Dawn"
Has been in flower from about
December, but has a
last fling in March

Picture
Muscari (bulbs)
Picture
Lamiam (Dead Nettle)
Picture
Saxifrage
Picture
Rosemary
Evergreen herb which likes sunshine and will grow in fairly poor soil, but not happy if it gets waterlogged

Picture
Euphorbia mellifera
(or Honey Spurge) as in Apis mellifera (honey bee). Mellifera means honey-bearing.....a large structural shrub
Picture
Picture
Stachyurus chinensis
Picture
April
Prunus incisa "Kojo-no-mai"
flowers from mid March into April
Picture
Pear blossom
Picture
Picture
Wallflowers
Picture
Doronicum
Picture
Apple blossom
Picture
Forget-me-not
Picture
May
Geranium
Picture
Picture
Picture
Alliums, especially Purple Sensation and Mount Everest, which are white, and Chives, who are part of the allium family
Enkianthus..... likes an acid soil
Picture
Centaurea
Picture
Lupins
This photo was taken at the Chelsea Flower Show. Bees won't expect you to put on such a splendid display
Picture
Comfrey (Symphytum)
Picture
Comfrey is an excellent plant to have in your garden. Not only does it attract bees, but the cut leaves added to the compost heap help the composting process, and leaves chopped up and put on the soil act as a mulch, which quickly breaks down, providing Potassium to the soil. 
Geum
Picture
This particular variety is Geum mai tai........it belts out flowers throughout May and looks great with the bright green of Euphorbias. There are many Geums to chose from; greatly appreciated  by bees.
Aquilegia
A real cottage garden flower, which self seeds, popping up in places you wouldn't have thought of putting it

Picture
Picture
JUNE
Picture
Foxgloves (Digitalis)
This is a must for  a bee garden, but do be aware that foxgloves are poisonous.
Picture
Honeysuckle
Weigela
An easy deciduous shrub; the flowers are a good source of nectar.
Picture
Cerinthe (Honeywort)
The name is a bit of a clue.....an annual which self seeds, much loved by bees
Picture
Salvia
Picture
Salvias are in my top  ten bee plants......they flower over a long period and the bees just can't get enough of them......
Phlomis tuberosa "Amazone"
Picture
Lavender....the quintessential bee plant
Picture
Picture
Borage
Picture
Borage is such a useful plant for bees..... It has very delicate flowers and thick, thuggish leaves, so better planted in a wilder part of the garden, as it can take over in a border. It is an annual, but once planted, will self seed very confidently every year.
Stachys byzantina  (common name Lamb's Ears)
Picture
Trifolium rubens
A huge hit with bees, and a great favourite of mine!
These tactile, fluffy brushes flower for weeks in June and July, and will continue into the Autumn, if you deadhead them. A must in any self respecting bee garden.

Picture
July
Picture
Echinops 
A real favourite of the bees
  
Picture
Hollyhock
A huge hit with bees, and flowers for many weeks

Echinacea
Picture
Picture
Hebe
An evergreen shrub which flowers for months...this variety could still be in flower in November, so a really good choice.

Picture
Scabious caucasica
So pretty, and attracts little solitary bees
Picture
Penstemon
Picture
Erigeron (Fleabane)
Picture
Picture
Eryngium
This  is a massive hit with bees......they appear to visit from dawn till dusk....there are several varieties of this marvellously architectural plant.....they like free draining soil and lots of sun.... if you have these conditions, I highly recommend it.

Picture
Picture
Verbena bonariensis
A terrific plant, that grows  tall, but is delicate enough to mix in with other plants, and float above them, like little mauve butterflies... a true bee favourite.
Picture
Picture
Antirrhinum
Grown as an annual, but actually a short lived perennial....flowers for weeks......suitable for long- tongued bumble bees, although short tongued bees sometimes nibble a hole in the back of the flower, to get at the nectar that way.....clever little bees
