I saw a lot of bumble bees in my garden, many more than honeybees. And I just planted 2 butterfly bushes, a panicle hydrangea, and lots of echinacea and gaillardia for them and the hummers.

I have the same plants. I also have a high number of native plants so there's probably less for a honey bee to harvest here.
A new perennial I planted was a real hit with the hummingbirds, Indian Pink. It had a really long bloom time to boot. I'll have to plant some more of that.

That sounds exactly like my wife’s garden. I call it the money pit.
