What's In a Bee Lawn | Panel Discussion
Moderator | Ren Graham
A panel of experts will discuss the trend of converting turf lawns into bee lawns containing a blend of fescues, Dutch white clover, self heal, and creeping thyme. The Bee Lawn movement arose from multiple incidents of bee kills in 2012 and 2013 linked to improper use of pesticides.
Questions we hope to answer: Do Bee lawns support the habitat goals for our native bees and pollinators? What are the consequences of adding more nonnative clover into our ecosystems? What are some lawn alternatives Wild Ones supports?
