Generally daffodil flowers don't get pollinated, and rarely will you find daffodils from seeds coming up in a garden, unless they have purposely been sown there. If you do want to play around with a daffodil seed (it takes 5-7 years before you'll see the flower), the way daffodil flowers are pollinated is by bees or other flying insects and humans purposely applying pollen to the stigma.
Yes, daffodils do have nectar, and the pollen is on the anthers surrounding the stigma. The hummingbird frequents the later blooming daffodils. Bees do most of the early pollination. However, keep in mind that see production is not the most efficient way for the daffodil to reproduce, so even though it has beautiful blooms, which are meant for genetic variation and adaptation, you won't see a huge number of insects busily visiting the blooms, nor will you see a grand number of ripening ovules later in the season.
Short answer: No, it is a very rare occurance for daffodils to be wind pollinated.

Daffodil Pollination
Under natural conditions, most daffodils are pollinated either by the wind or by insects such as bees, which transfer pollen from the anthers to the stigma. This pollen travels into the flower's ovary, where it fertilizes the ovules, eventually forming seeds.

Is ragweed insect or wind pollinated?
insect pollinated
How are dahlias pollinated?
Dahlias are pollinated by wind, insects or gardeners.
Are petal wind or insect pollinated?
Petals are both wind pollinated and insect pollinated, not one or the other. Insect pollinated petals are large and brightly colored while wind pollinated petals are small and brown or green in color.
Do the insect pollinated flowers have nectar and wind does not?
the insect does
Is Scent Insect Polinated Flowers or Wind Pollinated Flowers?
wind pollinated
If a plant has a sticky stigma is it wind or insect pollinated?
A plant with a sticky stigma is more likely to be insect-pollinated. The stickiness of the stigma helps to capture pollen grains brought by insects. Wind-pollinated plants typically have feathery stigmas to catch pollen grains carried by the wind.
Are conifers wind or insect pollinated?
I'd say both !
Is the pride of barbados wind-pollinated or insect-pollinated?
The pride of Barbados is primarily insect-pollinated, with bees being the main pollinators of its flowers.
Are wind pollinated plants attractive?
That is a matter of taste. Grasses (the prime example) can be very attractive. It is the flower not the plants being attractive in case of insect pollinated and not so attractive in case of wind pollinated.
If some flowers are not pollinated by insects but by wind Do you think such flowers are as attractive as insect-pollinated ones?
Wind-pollinated flowers tend to be less showy and colorful compared to insect-pollinated flowers which are often brightly colored and fragrant to attract insects. However, the structure of wind-pollinated flowers is specialized for efficient wind dispersal of pollen, which is important for their reproduction. So, while they may not be as visually attractive to us, they are still well-adapted for their method of pollination.
What are three flowers that are insect-pollinated?
Roses are pollinated by insects such as bees and butterflies, though they can also be pollinated by the wind. Honeybees are the most common pollinators of sunflowers, and daisies are also pollinated by bees.
Insect-pollinated flowers can also be pollinated by wind why?
Insect-pollinated flowers may still be pollinated by wind as a backup method to ensure successful pollination in case insect activity is limited. Wind can help transfer pollen between flowers when insects are scarce or when weather conditions are unfavorable for insect pollination. This redundancy increases the chances of successful pollination and seed production for the plant.
