Subject: Bees - a lot - but not a swarm<br>
<br>
Message Body:<br>
We are planning a new neighborhood association picnic, our first big event, at Hoog Park in <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/search/Novato+(551+Marin+Oaks.+Drive?entry=gmail&source=g">Novato (551 Marin Oaks. Drive</a> on August 30 and have already mailed invitations to approximately 400 households at considerable expense. We are now told we're unable to use the location because of a bee problem. Definitely confirmed - was there today and the minute we brought out our lunch (and also a piece of raw meat) they were everywhere. We had to leave the area. The Public Works Department says they are bees. We just assumed they were Yellowjackets. <br>
<br>
We have been told that Public Works that they are bees with a suspected nest in the big oak tree above the picnic/bar-b-que area. They said they "contacted a couple bee keepers:" and everybody was busy in next few weeks. +<br>
<br>
The parks department has suggested we moved the event to Miwok Park. It's a long way from our neighborhood and we have no financial way of notifying 400 households with a new mailer. We desperately hoping to hold the event at Hoog Park on August 30. <br>
<br>
We're throwing ourselves at your feet - do you think there is any possible solution to the problem?<br>
