Minnesota Solar Farms Transform into Wildflower Havens for Bees

Minnesota solar farms are becoming vital wildflower havens, boosting insect populations significantly. These innovative farms have tripled insect abundance, with native bees increasing twentyfold and a rise in bird species. By utilizing taller solar panel arrays, more native plants thrive underneath, offering a cost-effective alternative to gravel. This shift highlights the need for documented pollinator habitats in American solar farms.
