by special request, a longer video of honeybees in slow-motion.
It's Friday the 13th and we're beginning the summer dearth here in the northeastern United States. 
Not mowing the lawn helps the clover provide better for the bees, it's good for your lawn anyway as taller grasses and clover, provide deeper roots and better drought tolerance.
IF your lawn looks like this, then you are a true honey-bee hero!
This time of year, please encourage friends and neighbors not to mow and just take the day off so the clover can mature and also provide for the bees.
They are also visiting milkweeds and the next thing to bloom here will be the Maximilian Sunflowers and other sunflower varieties which will boost your brood with fabulous protein from the pollen. 
So your bees can build up their numbers for that goldenrod and aster bloom at summer's end. 
The hives have lots of honey on right now and it's tempting to do a honey harvest, but I'm leaving it as the dearth, summer storms, and other factors can slam the bees again, so, we're waiting.
I've also done some splits which need nourishment as they also build, leaving honey on other stronger colonies will reduce their propensity to begin raiding weaker colonies.
Happy Beekeeping and enjoy your summer weekend!
Be lazy, let the grass grow a little taller and the bees will thank you!
