‘No Mow May’ Campaign Asks Us To Leave The Lawn Alone To Help Save Bees

The organization conducted an experiment in last year in which hundreds of homeowners agreed not to mow their lawns until June. Participants’ lawns produced a much wider variety of flower species and enough nectar to feed 10 times as many bees as normal lawns. The longer your grass grows, the greater the diversity of flower species you get, Plantlife found.
