In the home garden, the European Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) will visit anything in flower to check out if there is any pollen and nectar to be gathrered. An easy to grow flowering plant is Convolvulus sabatius, also known as Blue Rock Bindweed, Blue Convovulous, and Convolvulus New Blue Moon, although it offers only a little in the way of pollen for the honey bee. Here you can see the honey bee on Convolvulus sabatius, in Alice Springs.
