My Bee Safe Lawn is an independent guide to lawn care that makes room for bees and other pollinators. We explain how clover and flowering lawns work, which pollinator plants suit different regions and conditions, how mowing, watering and soil care affect habitat, and how to manage weeds without routine broad-spectrum spraying.
Our guides cover bee-friendly lawns, pollinator plants, lawn care practices, weed management, pollinator protection, lawn equipment, pollinator garden design and buying guides. Information comes from university Cooperative Extension services, the U.S. EPA, USDA, the Xerces Society and other published sources. We never claim a product is safe for bees unless the label or a reliable source supports it, and we always tell readers to follow pesticide label directions and local regulations.
Who we write for
Our readers are homeowners, gardeners and families in the United States who want a healthier lawn that supports bees and other pollinators while using fewer unnecessary chemicals. Every guide aims to answer a real question clearly and point to the source behind any important claim.
How we work
Our articles are researched from university Cooperative Extension services, U.S. EPA pesticide and pollinator protection guidance, USDA and the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Xerces Society, Pollinator Partnership, and pesticide product labels. We explain how we chose and checked information in our Editorial Policy. We do not publish fake reviews, invented test results or made-up personal stories, and we do not claim to have tested a product unless the article says how it was tested.

Important
Always read and follow pesticide labels: the label is the law, and many products carry specific bee and pollinator warnings. Avoid applying products to flowering plants when pollinators are active. If you or someone in your household is allergic to bee stings, plan flowering areas accordingly and talk to a doctor about an emergency plan. Wear gloves and eye protection when using lawn tools, and check local rules before planting or removing species.
