9. Yes, they do. Weeds with flowers attract pollinators. Grasses don't.

So you can kill your lawn and replace it with native plants that attract pollinators. That's what I did about ten years ago, and now I don't have to mow a lawn, and instead I can watch the bees and butterflies that come to the flowers. I pull those few plants that I consider invasive weeds, like creeping bellflower, but everything else that has flowers is welcome.
