I recently saw a reminder to keep the weeds in your space until the native flowers come in for the sake of the pollinators! It’s all they have right now 🙂
Thanks to your post, OP, I’ve now learned that the flowers? weeds? that are growing everywhere in my yard are not henbit, but dead nettle! The bees seem to love buzzing around it so I’m going to leave it alone (where I can). 😊

Dead nettle or henbit
