Bee Planting

I am not someone that knows an awful lot about plants. To be honest unless you can eat it... or it is good for starting fires (mis-spent youth) then I have very little idea what it is.
I really want to find some things I can plant in and around my village which are low maintenance, flower yearly, and give the bees some good forage. I am particularly interested in plants that give an early (feb-mar) and late nectar flow (nov-dec) but if it is pretty or smells good then so much the better :)

I am at the moment looking at:
Lavender
Thyme
Rosemary
Echinacea

If any of you know anything that might be a good idea PLEASE let me know, thanks.
