Subject: [board] Good meeting last night
Message-ID: <F3CABB5A-9C70-4E6C-87E1-FFC572178227@gmail.com>

Hi board,


Thanks to all for your participation in last night’s board retreat.
It felt really good to connect, spend some time together and discuss a lot!
I will leave any notes to Sylvia.  
Just wanted to share these two visuals.
Next time, we’ll take photos.

Please be thinking about the mission and vision, so we can tweak and agree soon.
Was going to say next board meeting, but that’s not until October.

Thanks,
Dana

P.S.  Jim, just confirming that Sylvia is on the board email.

Subject: honey bees at my fountain & hummer feeder

Message Body:
Hello Bee people
I have a situation with some honey bees coming to my backyard fountain and
hummingbird feeder. There have consistently been 50-100 or so bees on my
fountain most of the day. In addition they have taken over my hummingbird
feeder to the point where the hummers cannot drink there any longer. I like
bees but my husband is allergic to their sting and my dog is getting a bit
too interested in this many bees milling around. I know there are several
neighbors with hives so they are likely traveling around Blackpoint in
Novato where I live. I suppose I should turn the fountain off and take the
feeder down to deter them. But I'm curious why so many are hanging around?
Also, I suspect they would still come to the fountain unless we drain it
and that would likely ruin the wine barrel's integrity. Can you give me any
advice?
thank you
colleen

Subject: Searching for someone

Message Body:
Hi there,

My neighbor, Judy Schreibman, off Circle Road in the Los Ranchito area had
several bee hives on her property before she passed away. She let some land
for someone's hives. She did not have hives herself. I have space available
and would like to know if that person is interested in placing their hives
here. Properties here a minimum of one acre lots. Please email me. Thank
you.

Sincerely,
Nancy Moss

Subject: Bees - a lot - but not a swarm

Message Body:
We are planning a new neighborhood association picnic, our first big event,
at Hoog Park in Novato (551 Marin Oaks. Drive
<https://www.google.com/maps/search/Novato+(551+Marin+Oaks.+Drive?entry=gmail&source=g>
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.

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.
+

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.

We're throwing ourselves at your feet - do you think there is any possible
solution to the problem?

Unfortunately I cannot make it.

FYI...Lynette and I are taking a trip to South Dakota this week to visit
some of the National Parks and monuments.  We will be gone and not
returning until Sept 23rd.

Hi,

Thanks, Sylvia, for these detailed notes!
One adjustment.
Both the vision statement and mission statement are drafts.

The draft vision statement (my faulty handwriting) is:
Honeybees are a vital part of our (next word is tbd:  either existence or ecosystem or ?)

The draft mission statement is:
To educate and increase the interest in beekeeping through learning, mentorship and community engagement

Let’s confirm both at our next board meeting, Thursday, 10/15.

Thanks, 
Dana

They've finally decommissioned the events list on EMWD/Affinity (events at buzz.marinbeekeepers.org <mailto:events at buzz.marinbeekeepers.org>). I've migrated most of the users to the equivalent list on BlueHost (the web site provider): events at marinbeekeepers.org <mailto:events at marinbeekeepers.org>

I'm just waiting for a final membership list to be sure I didn't miss anyone.
This is an "anyone can join" but only officers can post/moderate list.

Hi Jim-
Please delete second line with August meeting info.
Can we add the info about this month’s meeting that Justin sent out today?
Please change membership info year in last paragraph to 2026-2027 membership years.


### Prepare Your Hive for a Rainy El Niño Winter!
Presented by Jennifer Radtke, Learn from the Bees

Winter is just around the corner, and now is the time to make sure your colonies are in the best possible condition to get through the rainy months.

Jennifer will cover:

- Getting Varroa mites and viruses under control before winter
- How much to reduce your hive
- How much honey to leave for the bees
- How to prevent mold and moisture problems
- How to insulate your hive
- Other important steps to prepare your colonies for a wet winter

About Jennifer Radtke:

Jennifer has been keeping bees in her backyard for more than 20 years and developed the beekeeping education program at Urban Farm Oasis in Berkeley. She served as Vice President of the Alameda County Beekeepers Association for three years and operates a yearly bee mentorship program through her business, Learn from the Bees.

Her mentees keep bees throughout the Bay Area, from Marin to Oakland/Berkeley and Livermore, giving her experience with a wide variety of microclimates and beekeeping conditions.

This should be a great lecture as we head into winter, so come out, bring your questions, and learn how to give your colonies the best chance of coming through the rainy season strong.

We look forward to seeing everyone Thursday night!


Thanks Paul

Hi-
I spoke with Dadant today regarding the inoperable 6 frame extractor. 
They were able to troubleshoot the problem by video call and will be sending me the necessary parts to repair. 

It is a bushing and screws so the expense should be $20-30 including shipping. I will let you know of my progress and anticipated "back in service" date.
