The researchers found that patches mown every six or twelve weeks had on average, 171% and 179% more pollinators, respectively, than control patches mown every two weeks. Areas left unmown for twelve weeks showed twice as many different types of flowering plants compared to frequently mowed areas. Morrison and colleagues found that flowers like selfheal, daisies, dandelions, buttercups, and white clover were the most common finds, providing important food sources for pollinators.
