Don't have the same problems with them over here that the do in Melbourne. Problem here is they don't grow well at all.
Their flowers will attract bees, but by no means mass amounts

African Daisies grow really well and are pretty, but you will get some bees - but bees aren't going to hurt you. Rosemary is really popular over here as well for hedging and won't attract bees at all. Smells divine and you can eat it!
