What flower,(or plant) besides Marigolds, repels bees & yellow jackets?

I use a library computer so I'm not on the internet all the time. I missed the answer(s) to this question I'll try to be back during the w/e to see what's happening!
What flower,(or plant) besides Marigolds, repels bees %26amp; yellow jackets?
Citronella plant! inexpensive and sold at Lowe's/home depot/hardware stores
Reply:marigolds don't repel bees.. sorry.



Bees like flowers.. if it is a flowering plant, chances are a bee will be attracted.
Reply:marigolds do not repel bees! In fact, they attract them (anything with nectar attracts bees...)..........
Reply:I don't know about plants, but Rescue Yellowjacket Traps are great for Yellowjackets. They will not, however, catch bees, paper wasps, or other types of wasps.

The product does not contain pesticides if you are concerned about keeping your garden 'natural'. It contains an attractant that lures yjs to the trap, and they die because they cannot escape.

You can find them in larger stores such as Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, and smaller garden supply stores as well.
