There have been so few bees in my garden the last few years that I get excited when I see one. This bee seems to really like the flowers of my mint plant.
Yes, it is an invasive plant that gardeners are warned about. But bees are attracted to the plant because the nectar and pollen are food for them and their hive.
Another herb that attracts bees is oregano. A big plus is that both mint and oregano plants are ignored by the numerous local deer.
By the way, the bee and butterfly numbers are so diminished in my neighborhood due to all the pesticides being used on lawns and plants. Pesticides = kills bees and butterflies
