It's a shrub in bloom in 3 yards in 2 days. I haven't seen a bee on it, but bees in Dallas-Fort Worth are pretty scarce, too many pesticides, and one yard was Dallas, 2 were Fort Worth. Going to upload a pic. It is in bloom, but before I find a shrub in my local nursery, I need to know if bees like it.

Look for bees on it at different times of the day. It's amazing how some plants will produce nectar only at certain times and then the bees will have a field day. Other hours they just dry up. The bees know this and don't waste their time looking.
I can't say this statement applies to this particular shrub--I can't identify it from your picture--but it's a principle worth noting.

Why don't you just plant flowers that you know bees love and fruit trees as I am doing, I have planted a couply of blue berry and an apple tree, going to plant a few more fruit trees when I get some bad plants removed.

The bees like some more flowers such as sunflower, aster, poppies, clover, etc.

I've planted a salvia mini meadow (ornamental value) in my backyard, lots of Veronica,Linaria, Ranunculus, Centaurea, tulips and anemones in spring etc. What is amazing right now is the salvia patch, although popular with the pollinators, is like a graveyard compared to the hyper excitement from early morning to evening on the Nepeta six hills giant. Definately a keeper.
