I don't have much of a reference since I just moved here last September, and the lawn was already mowed at that point, but I've seen a really good number of bumblebees and honeybees this year (endangered Monarch butterflies too) leaving most of my lawn unmowed besides the small range I walk on. The native flowers and wildlife are really thriving on my property now. No particular problem with pests as a result either. I recommend anyone to do this if it's practical (no overbearing HOA etc)
