A recent study from Cornell University demonstrates that allowing sheep to graze beneath solar panels can enhance insect diversity. It found that maintaining two sheep per hectare led to a remarkable 38% rise in beneficial insects, particularly honey bees. As sheep density increased, researchers discovered a critical balance between effective vegetation management and preserving bee health.
