Daffodils and Henpeck

Do bees visit daffodils or henpeck? I've got some daffodils but I have never seen any bees on them. The henpeck is fixing to start around here as well.

Is henpeck the same as henbit? A commercial beek told me that those little flowers are coming up around corn fields here. The bees are getting pollen from it. I guess. Right now i'm seeing a yellow pollen. From it?

I believe it's the same. What I'm looking at has very small purple/blue flowers.

I was at the local nursery the other day and saw a honeybee visiting some paperwhites (small daffodils).

Bees work both. Especially henbit.

I just bing'd it and found some images, it's henbit.

Thanks.

Here, henbit I have seen worked. Daffodils I have not noticed any being worked but don't mean they won't. Had the daffodils poking out the top of the three inches of ice around them last week.
