A lawn pleasing to the goal of the perfect lawn, is a desert to bees. We need more natural areas in urban and suburban regions. Bees need a constant supply of nectar and pollen. Especially pollen which is the bread they eat and feed the young. One type of plant or food source is not good. They need hundreds of diverse flora, blooming at all times of the growing year. ie, April thru October.
My lawn is full f clover, or as my three-year-old daughter calls them, “Pwetty fwowas.” She gifts me with them by the handful lol! We don’t spray anything. I do use vinegar on a particularly nasty thistle outbreak, but that’s it. I use neem oil on the garden, but I’ve read that is okay for bees. Can you confirm that? I’d like to know. We want our bees!
