Not to be "that guy" but I have to point out that, while this is great, the primary threat to pollinators is our modern mass agriculture.

Replacing monoculture, pesticide ridden lawns with more natural coverings(especially in places where no one is even using the lawn for recreation) is a good first step. Then at least the cities and suburbs can be a haven. It also gets people thinking about this kind of stuff and can lead to pressure for more sustainable agriculture.

This sounds like it’s related to permaculture. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permaculture

This particular thing was (I think) a parallel evolution.
