"Bees do seem to like flowers from plants in the Brassica family."

Boy, do they ever! Last year some of my broccoli went to flowers because I wasn't tending it very well and the bees were all over it... this year I'll do that on purpose Smiling (I'm thinking it wouldn't be a bad idea to put a plant or two near cucumbers and squash, just to attract the bees.)
