​Mark asked how to respond to those who ask what they can do the ease the
plight of honey bees.  I am asked this question often, and my most often
response is stop using chemical lawn care!  A lush, green lawn maintained
by fertilizer and herbicides is no friend of the honey bee.  Dandelions,
white Dutch clover and other lawn "weeds" are signs of a healthy, happy
lawn.  A weedy lawn is the buffet table at which out bees eat!

Aaron Morris - thinking the turf builder mentality does not serve our bees!
