Looks like eucalyptus to me. Apparently bees love them.

I can see one bee and one fly.

There were about 30 bees of several different types on that group of asters - very tricky to photograph as there was a wind and the flowers were waving about a lot... Several types of bumble bees plus a load of honey bees (A. melifera melifera) whose colouring looked very like my bees.

Only possible to photograph one bee at a time - zooming out with everything flapping around, you wouldn't see anything.

As I was only using my phone, I was quite pleased with the above shot.
