In addition to Pieris, you may want to consider some earlier bloomers such as Sarcococca (blooms Feb-March, with rebloom), along with Osmanthus & Viburnums. These were crucial to the Mason Bee population I had for many years, providing long-term foraging. The houses I had faced east & were sheltered.


What variety of Sarcococca? I have Sarcococca hookeriana var. humilis, but I've never seen it bloom all the time I've had it.
