Disturbed areas also may reduce the prairie diversity to only a few native species.

FAQ: Will prairie strips help pollinators?

Furthermore, a growing body of scientific literature indicates that bee health is improved when they are provided a diverse diet of plants. Read more about FAQ: Will prairie strips help pollinators?
