>>> @Justin will conduct the hive dives with my assistance and we are developing guidelines for the attendees and hosting member. For example bring bee suit and water, hive tool and for host any parking instructions.  We will also standardize the time of the hive dives.
>>> 
>>> @Justin please email the attendees for the dive on Monday to confirm their attendance and give them the time and location. Remind them to bring their suit and water. Thank you

>>> This experience is a huge member benefit and we should discuss if it is a free service or a revenue generator for the club moving forward. I know this type of service can cost $75-150 per person to have a professional beekeeper come to your house and inspect your hive.

>>> Let me know if you have suggestions, feedback or questions. This doc will live on the club google drive for future hive dives.
