Choisya (flowering now) Viburnum (flowers in winter but mine are still trying) Hebe (mid/ late summer)
There are others such as Ceanothus which are stunning right now but some varieties can get a bit big.

Euonymus, eleagnus, cotoneaster, dwarf lilac, cistus, rosemary, pittosporum, mahonia

Camelia, rhododendron, if you are on acid soil.

Azalea and rhododendron- both are evergreen, come in a wide variety if colours and grow to different heights (ranging from 30cm to over 2m). They flower from March to the end of June (depending on variety), grow happily in my heavy clay, don't need any looking after and the bees love them!

I am sure that on my beekeeping course I was told that rhododendrons and azaleas are poisonous to bees?

Lavender - just needs a quick trim after flower.
Sarcococca - little white flowers in winter that smell heavenly
Camellia
Escallonia
Convolvulus cneorum
Fatsia japonica
