If you positively do not want bees, plant things that do not flower. Coleus, hosta (does send up a flower spike but you can cut it off), ferns, etc. If you install a drip system, the plants will be happy on a small amount of water. You might look in the garden center for other plants which do not flower. Best wishes with your garden!
