Summary
Bee lawns, once promoted as an easy way to support pollinators, are facing new scrutiny from conservation experts. The trend encourages homeowners to let low-growing flowers, such as clover, grow among grass, creating lawns that provide some food for bees. However, Minnesota pollinator conservationist Heather Holm argues that bee lawns offer only limited ecological benefits and represent the bare minimum homeowners can do for pollinators. The article examines how the movement gained popularity and questions whether replacing traditional lawns with more diverse, natural plantings could provide greater value. Holm encourages gardeners to think beyond bee lawns and create landscapes that better support pollinators and biodiversity.
