Flowering plants are a lifesaver for all kinds of bees coming out of their hives in spring. They desperately need the pollen right now to make honey after a long winter. Removing flowering plants in spring and that includes dandelions, can cause serious stress to hives. Please leave the plants be and let the pollinators feed.

Honey bees are also not native to the US, and these plants are not beneficial to the native bees who need native plants.

I wish I could but if I dont mow my dogs eat the grass and plants anyways and then puke everywhere. My neighbors have a ton of these in their yard and theyre very pretty.
