To help bees and other pollinator insects, like butterflies, you need to provide a range of plants that will provide a succession of flowers, this will make pollen and nectar available through the whole of the growing season.
It is a good idea to have at least two or more nectar/pollen-rich plants in flower through out this time.
Nectar feeds the adult bee, pollen is collected to feed the young.
Bees favor single flowers over doubles.With double flowers the many petals make it more difficult for the bees to collect the nectar and pollen.
If you have space, a flower plot, even one as small as a 3x1.2m bed, should produce regular pickings throughout the summer at least.
The ideal position is sheltered from wind but in sun for most of the day, especially if you plan to grow tender plants like roses and more.
If the soil already grows flowers or a lawn, it should be fine. Make sure it is well drained (rain should soak away in winter) but not too dry in summer.
Dig the area over as deeply as you can – ideally at least a spade’s depth – and work in organic matter such as garden compost or soil conditioner to improve the texture and feed the crops.
Here's the Example where you can plant flowers:
