I would like to know certain types of plants that are bee-friendly and the season they bloom/die and if possible, the price of the seeds.

Thanks.
Also, what are some things you recommend that I should do to create a bee-friendly garden?
Hehe. Too many edits.

I live in New York, and although I won't be living in the city, it'll still have it's fair share of pollution.

i am sorry but you cannot have flowers without bees but you could try to make a tropical garden which means they have no flowers but they look good unless you find some flowers that grow in winter then there is less chance of bees comming to get pollen

Bees are attracted to about every flower that blooms.
However favorites are daisies.
I'll try coreopsis it blooms all summer long and comes back every year. Seeds cost 1.00 to 2.00 depending on stores.
other daisies are Rudbeckias, Purple Coneflowers and Gailardias
An adorable spring flower is the Columbine bees love those and also members of the pea family like lupines and a plant called the false indigo. The mainly bloom in the Spring to Early Summer. Also any kind of clovers.
Bees also like flowers related to Hollyhock and Mallow family. They fall asleep in side of them some times lol
Annuals include plants like California bluebells, Purple tansy, and Gillia species. These plants are called bee food.
