I'll have to list them all out sometime, but I think by the end of this spring I will have installed over 30 native species on my land for pollinators.
That's wonderful PH. I was wondering if you were growing for cut flowers but I guess not!

I have a lonicera that grows like a tall shrub in one hedge. It blooms early and is not scented. Whether the flowers attract pollinators, I know not but I do know that it is a host to all sorts of insects including bees (?) that make tiny nests in rolled up leaves. It becomes rather unsightly but I don't care because it is a fabulous host to the little fliers.

Lovely moth Oakley. What is the flower?
