Has anyone planted a wildflower patch for pollinators?

I have honeybee hives and want to give them some extra food sources. I was thinking of tilling up grass and planting flowers.

Which is better, a seed mat or just direct sew seeds? I worry about having a ton of weeds and not many flowers? Is this a problem?

THANKS for any advise.
