I had an Oriental Borage before, is this related in any way, it looks scary enough.

But it didn't bother the bee though.

Borage for sure.

It seems like this Borage family is the kind one wouldn't care to live next to.

Definitely not Centaurea Cyanus Cornflower or Bachelor`s Button ...
flowers are completely different.

Agree with others.....Borago officinalis....common name Borage.
Flowers can be white.
You can freeze the very pretty single flowers in water to use later in a cocktail.
