Save the bees

In my neighborhood there are plenty of unkempt yards. I'm one of the crazies that chooses to let my wild lettuce and dandelion grow tall and go to seed. I do this to preserve what little bit of "wild" that tries to survive suburbia. Now I seek a balance of creating an edible and pollinator friendly landscape while pleasing the neighbors who would look at my landscape as shabby. The difference is, I do care about my yard, yet my aesthetics are concerned with birds and bees not a perfect lawn of grass. It isn't about honeybees alone, as there are countless pollinator species which are threatened, and I will fight for them. In my little patch of earth, there will be a home for the bumbles and what little things we choose not to see.
