When I was a kid in the 60's, every yard was full of white clover and bees. Now most everyone around me has beautiful, perfect grass with no weeds and no clove

  In my experience, it really depends on the neighborhood. Those you grew up in, probably still has all that clover. My 1940s built neighborhood all did when I moved out a few years back. But all these new developments and specifically HOAs of the last couple decades you'd probably be lucky to find a handfull.

    Over time the clover was culled even in these neighborhoods. Seen as a weed. Sprayed over. Cut down whenever it bloomed otherwise. I grew up in a neighborhood that used to be dominated with these lawns when my parents grew up, and in my time ours was the last lot left with white clover, specifically because my father would cut the grass in patches to always keep some flowering clover available. No one else in the entire city was doing that. If they weren't spraying and something not green came up in the lawn, it was time to cut the grass for these other people.
