Purple Flowers & Long-horned Bee

I seem to end up with at least one purple colored container plant every summer. I've noticed that everytime, I attract these long-horned bees that only like the purple flowers. This year it happened again.
Two-spotted Longhorn Bee (Melissodes bimaculatus)
Agastache 'Blue Boa' (Anise hyssop)
