Each hive underwent a thorough inspection, much more than I would dare to do on my own. I now feel more confident to care for my hives over the summer and beyond. Thank you Paul and Justin for sharing your knowledge, time and enthusiasm for beekeeping. <div><br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr">Carol Dimeling</div><div dir="ltr">115 Wilson Hill Road</div><div dir="ltr">Petaluma, Ca 94952<br><div>415-577-0890</div></div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Jul 14, 2026, at 7:00 AM, Paul Reulbach <paul@marinbees.org> wrote:<br><br></div><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">Good morning-<div><br></div><div>We conducted a hive dive at Carol’s property yesterday in Petaluma.
