Clover in grass should be the norm, and it was the norm till broadleaf herbicide became the new one. Because it also kills clover.

You shouldn't be spraying herbicide on your lawn, and if you're not there's no reason not to have clover.

It'll grow with the grass, and since it can pull nitrogen out of the air, in areas with poor soil, the clover becomes dense and accumulates nitrogen. Once the soil improves the grass comes back in.

As a huge bonus, clover "learns" the level you mow at. After so long it will just stop growing higher. If a patch is all clover you might only have to mow it a couple times a year.

And you'll start seeing a shit ton of bees, lightning bugs, and all types of insects people always complain disappeared.

Putting clover out is a very small thing that has huge benefits. But people still aren't really doing it.

This isn't wholesome, it's a tax dodge. Putting a hive on your property lets you classify your mansion as a farm and pay no property tax. The taxes collected could have done more environmental good than a beehive.

Besides European honeybees are an invasive species that out compete native bees.

There are many more species of bees at risk than just honey bees! Theres a lot of wild bee species that dont swarm/are solitary and are still crucial to local ecosystems. Research what native bee species are in your area and what you can do to on your property to facilitate them.

How is raising foreign honeybees helping native bee populations? There's a lot of research that shows that this is actually harmful to our bees.

The gardener literally has to plant 1 acre every 2 days

Not to take away from my man, but beekeeping is a very profitable business. I know a wealthy family that does it for "beer money". They ship hives and queens to California and back to help with pollination.

Hmmm, now I know what to do with my 2.5 acres of swamp...

This is nice to know. I hope it's true.
