One reason to plant clover, and part of my motivation, is that it adds nitrogen to the soil. Farmers sometimes use it in crop rotation, instead of alfalfa or letting the soil lie fallow for a year.
Clover does make bees happy, but my other reason for planting it is that I like the flowers.
It's a reasonably good good ground cover to stop erosion, but I don't know whether it's a plausible substitute for mulch.
