Lawn Full of Dandelions is Good for the Bees
The state of Minnesota, is encouraging people to make their lawns more bee-friendly. They are paying people to stop spraying their grass with pesticides, and to plant white clover, creeping thyme, and dandelions. The rusty patched bumblebee is close to extinction, and yards full of wildflowers will help them survive. Hooray for flowering weeds!
