Summary
New research from the Missouri Botanical Garden reveals that letting your garden get a little wild—think prairie or woodland vibes, not manicured lawns—boosts native bee populations. Citizen scientists tracked bee activity since 2020, finding that messy, natural spaces offer better nesting grounds and food sources. These bees need undisturbed soil and leaf litter to thrive, and their diversity is vital: 75% of our food crops rely on pollination. A little untamed nature in your yard could be a game-changer for bees and the ecosystems they support. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
