Hive Dive MOU draft - detailing protocols and responsibilities during a Hive Dive. I am not a lawyer, and unfortunately I don't know a lawyer who can review it. I used AI to generate this draft, and AI based its draft on best practices from agricultural extensions and the Honey Bee Health Coalition (<a href="https://honeybeehealthcoalition.org/resources/hive-health-best-management-practices/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://honeybeehealthcoalition.org/resources/hive-health-best-management-practices/</a>). I also included a draft waiver form for the hive dives, but we should still need a lawyer to review it.</div><div style="font-family:"SF Pro Text",system-ui,sans-serif" class="x-apple-signature">Below is what AI added as a comment:</div></div><div>In standard beekeeping association protocols, events where members visit an apiary for hands-on learning are often called "Hive Dives" or "Open Apiary Sessions." To protect the association, the Board, and the property owner, the association uses a standard Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) & Liability Waiver to clarify who controls the bees and who controls the physical space.</div><div><br></div><div><div style="font-family:"SF Pro Text",system-ui,sans-serif" class="x-apple-signature"><b>Note: </b>I am sorry, I cannot seem to find my Google account for the Board anymore; I'm not sure whether that is due to a recent update or something else.</div><div style="font-family:"SF Pro Text",system-ui,sans-serif" class="x-apple-signature"><br></div><div style="font-family:"SF Pro Text",system-ui,sans-serif" class="x-apple-signature">Looking forward to seeing you all again!</div><div style="font-family:"SF Pro Text",system-ui,sans-serif" class="x-apple-signature"><br></div><div style="font-family:"SF Pro Text",system-ui,sans-serif" class="x-apple-signature">Best,
