The phacelia in my garden is full of all kinds of bees, they love it. I can't recall any other plants getting more attention, and they're a pretty flower as well.
Unfortunately not native to where I live, so I'd feel bad putting it in my garden, but that's great. Especially if it's providing for other species of bees than honeybees.
Yeah, Phacelia isn't native to the UK, but is pretty solidly spread anyway - classic Victorian plant plundering, though at least this time it wasn't Giant Hogweed.
