"The land around power lines is generating a lot of buzz among bee advocates. Power line easements, strips of land utilities use to maintain power lines, cover more than 5 million acres across the United States. Electric companies often mow these areas to prevent vegetation from interfering with the lines. But a new study suggests that leaving easements unmowed and appropriately managed may help bee populations."
