helping the bees ....

... I know, strictly speaking, it does not belong in this forum .... but here are just a lot of experts :-)

Hi,
I'm looking for a bee-friendly replacement for an old forsythia. Flower color does not matter, even if you already thought of Chimonanthus praecox,
the location is rather shady and the climate in the foothills of the Alps sometimes quite rough with massive cold spells until May.
The soil is lime-free, heavy, fresh.
Ideally, it should be an early-flowering, bee-friendly botanical species from Asia. At
Viburnum farreri I had already thought, but the z.t. form powerful foothills and I would like to spare myself the trouble with the neighbor.
Does anyone have a tip for me here?
Greetings from the Allgäu
