The borage is still flowering like crazy and is full of bees.
The bumble bees went for the comfrey flowers.
Broad beans, even if you don't like them to eat 
Buckwheat.
Sunflowers-as the nights were chilly in August, I arrived at the allotments every day to find the centre of the sunflowers half covered in bumble bees  |

I forgot to mention holly in my earlier post.
Beautiful & a valuable wildlife plant for insects & birds.
