When does a butterfly really hibernate?
Very few types of butterflies hibernate. Most of them just die off in the winter, leaving their eggs to hatch and start a new generation the next year. The monarch is the one species that migrates southward for the winter. Only the tortoiseshells, mourning cloak, and a few anglewings actually "hibernate" as adult butterflies and come back out in the spring.

Why would you expect there to be fewer bees and butterflies where there are fewer weeds?
Because the flowers that the Bees collect pollen from and produces the nectar that the Butterflies eat is simply not there from being choked out by the weeds. Pull the weeds and the Bees, Butterflies and Hummingbirds will come back.
