Waiting to dust off the lawn mower isn't lazy—it's thoughtful!
April showers bring May flowers — and long grass and weeds. May is typically when many people dust off the mower and start spring lawn maintenance. But what if you waited just one more month, which would let early foods for bees grow a bit longer?
What Is No Mow May? Plantlife, a British conservation charity, started the No Mow May initiative. In 2020, Israel Del Toro and Relena Ribbons, professors at Lawrence University, worked with the Common Council of Appleton, Wisconsin, to adopt No Mow May there. Studying the effects of No Mow May on bees in Appleton, they found that the 435 homes in the no-mow project had five times the number of bees and three times more bee species than mown areas did.
