I tried switching my lawn to a clover mix to save water, and it's attracting way more bees than I expected.

After seeing a flyer from the county extension office about drought-resistant yards, I replaced half my front lawn in Tucson with a white clover seed blend last fall, and now the buzzing is constant, which is great for pollination but has my neighbor, who is allergic, concerned.

That constant buzzing you mentioned is a good sign for local pollinators, even if it's a bit loud.

Loud buzzing doesn't always mean healthy pollinators. Could just be a ton of one bug type, not a balanced ecosystem. People jump to conclusions too fast.
