BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — To mow, or not to mow?
That is the question on the minds of some of the more environmentally conscious New England property owners in the spring.
In a movement called 'No Mow May' that is believed to have started in the U.K., there are some people who will not mow their lawns in the spring as a way to encourage early season pollination.
Paige Mulhern is the Creative Director of Best Bees, a company that installs and maintains honeybee hives on commercial and residential properties in urban centers across the U.S.
"Any opportunity to let your land go wild and create more opportunities for wildflowers, clovers [and] other pollinating plants besides grass can really make a big impact," said Mulhern.
She said the more wildflowers there are, the more that helps honeybees, bumblebees, and butterflies flourish.
