Answer 1

Yeah, it's interesting, we have a clover/grass mix and I do think it's important to help bees along as much as possible.

Answer 2

we have white clover in our 'lawn' and several other bee delights, too.... I gave up the 'green carpet' lawn long ago... it's wasteful.... I'm so much happier now that the lawn is green even in the drought here... weeds don't turn brown!!.. LOL!!.... I always have a great population of bees of all shapes and sizes and I love it... yours is a great suggestion for those who can do it... of course those with little ones or allergies to stings won't agree, but for the rest of us....it's a good thing!!!
