Great news for the bees! In related news, I was just reading about a number of councils in the UK leaving roadside verges to flower, saving them money and encouraging wildlife to flourish.
Would be great to see more of this in towns and cities too, new developments that cover an entire area with concrete and a few token trees/shrubs are not a good long term outcome for anyone. I guess it comes down to how much a planning authority can enforce both the implementation and long term upkeep of 'wild' spaces by the private developers and management companies.
