Helping pollinators isn’t as easy as watching grass grow

There has been precious little publicity for No Mow May this year and we can all be thankful for that.

Last year I said that the well-intentioned but poorly thought-out movement would be ineffective at accomplishing its goal of providing habitat for beneficial insects at best and detrimental to it at worst. I only have anecdotal evidence, but it seems to land much closer to the worst case category.
