Less mowing on roadsides could boost bee populations

A new report says that cutting roadside mowing less frequently would allow wildflowers to flourish along highways, helping bees and other pollinators recover. The idea is drawing interest among environmental advocates, who point to roadside strips as valuable habitat that is often needlessly trimmed.
Why now: Growing concern over pollinator declines is making simple habitat fixes like reduced mowing appealing to the public.
