The bees surely do love Anise Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum). They are practically swarming around the spiky blue flowers. Judy took this video with her cell phone the other day. Please forgive the quality, this is a first effort.

Wow, it sure is popular with the bees! Thanks for sharing the latest buzz!
You’re welcome. That Anise Hyssop is a honey of a plant.
That is a lot of bees! I enjoyed your buzzing video.
Thank you. It’s actually so many bees that some of the neighbors are scared ot get close to the plant.
I have some hyssop with blue/purple flowers that arrived unexpectedly in one bed, and I deliberately planted ‘Cana’ as a pollinator plant in the vegetable garden. Great buzzing video!
Thanks. Not familiar with ‘Cana’, I’ll have to check that out.
