Thanks. And for sure, I see them too. I think if you keep the growth short, it's not an issue with bees. We also have a ton of other flowers outside the yard that keep the bees out of the play area, even when the white clover is in bloom. I only made it 20 days or so into no-mow-May, because, yeah, that was NSFKids.
Nothing wrong with aerating and overseeding, like you said, it's natural. I can trace the drainage from this yard straight to the bay 3 miles away, so no chemicals here either.
