We had dwarf sunflower in the garden this year - and the bees loved them!  Only got a shot of Bumblebee not a honeybee

Finsky:
Thanks!   I use  90 liter containers to grow this kind of flowers, and I put them in hot place. Seems to that it need airy, sandy compost and plenty of calsiumstone.

I noticed also that there are some varietes whic are pollen free. No use for bees:

"Butterflies are attracted to `Russian Mammoth' and `Lemon Queen' as well. " Gardeners now have new choices of sunflowers perfect for cutting -- smaller-headed varieties such as `Italian White' (H. cucumerifolius) and pollen-free hybrids like `Del Sol,' `Sunbeam' and `Moonshadow.'
