Ok, here's what I see in the list that are annuals; borage, Batchelor buttons, cosmos, maybe the poppies, and maybe the wallflower. Some times columbines bloom the first year if planted early enough. I'm not sure about the sweet mignonette. The lemon mint, well it depends on which one that it is. All the rest are perennials.
A good choice for bees is to find some early salvias at nurseries if you can. Also they are crazy about basil! Put in a pot and let it flower. Coneflowers will soon be readily available, and they are usually pretty inexpensive. These all do well in pots. The salvias and coneflowers you could take with you when you move. 😊
