Minnesota Will Pay Homeowners to Replace Lawns with Bee-Friendly Wildflowers

MINNESOTA IS ASKING HOMEOWNERS TO TURN 

THEIR LAWNS INTO PRAIRIE TO HELP BRING 

BACK THE BEES

Minnesota just allocated nearly a million dollars in incentives

clover and native grasses. The state is asking citizens to stop 
spraying herbicide, stop mowing so often, and let their lawns 
re-wild into a more natural state.

The goal is to provide “food sources for pollinators of all kinds, 
but will specifically aim at saving the rusty patched bumblebee,
a fat and fuzzy species on the brink of extinction that seems to 
be making its final stand in the cities of the Upper Midwest,” 
the Star Tribune reports.
