Turns out reducing meadow flowers in favor of monoculture grass crops cuts pollinator populations. The test strips with highest N application had only 10 percent of the bees in the strips left without chemical fertilizer. I know this will come as no surprise to folks here but I’m always gratified and encouraged when I see it bubbling up into popular media.
