No Mow May âŚÂ It will help your yard â and help the bees. The idea behind No Mow May is that you wonât mow your lawn for the entire month, which means the grass will grow, lawn flowers will bloom, and native bees will emerge from hibernation and feast on the local pollen.
If you choose to participate, we suggest informing your neighbors. Youâll also want to check your local HOA to make sure that you wonât get fined for extremely tall grass heights â most HOAs start having a problem if the lawn extends past 8 or 10 inches tall.
If you canât participate fully, maybe consider just cutting back on how often you mow during the spring â every little bit will help the bees thrive!
