This weekend we had a visit from “Bee Rescue Swarm Removal”, a professional bee removal company who came out to remove a swarm from a water valve box in front of one of our townhouses. The beekeeper removed the swarm without killing them.
If any of you have problems with bee swarms on your homes or in your walls, you can contact this company at http://brsr.org/

In lieu of flowers or other memorial items, I have been asked to let homeowners know that the best way to remember Dotti and her love of all animals is to make a donation to the ASPCA or local no-kill animal shelter.
Dotti passed away sometime this morning and at this time we are uncertain of the cause. As I get more information I will pass it along.
We are continuing to plant around the complex; today we got the 3 Chinese Pistache trees planted, they were the largest among the recently acquired trees. In addition, some flowers were added in front of the Office, and some shrubs on the row of townhouses just South of the Office.
We hope to have all shrubs and trees planted by the end of next week and may get more shrubs and trees as needed to fill in the empty spots and replace the dead shrubs. The Fall planting is still on the schedule.
Part of the Spring planting was to get something into the 2 built-in planters in the Office, instead of just old dirt. It took a while to clean them out and re-line them with plastic sheeting; the dirt in them was apparently original (40 years ago) and was like concrete. They have since been filled with potting soil, mulch and a layer of redwood bark over the top to hold in moisture. Here are a few photos; you can see them in person at the next Board meeting on June 5th.
We started planting shrubs today around the subdivision but have a way to go yet. Our plans are to first replant or replenish in front of homes with no shrubs at all and work our way into filling in blank spaces and replacing dead shrubs. This is the first of 2 plantings in 2014, another will follow this Fall.
Around 70 shrubs were planted today and more will be planted on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Our trees (20) arrive on Wednesday and we will shift to getting them into the ground and then go back to shrubs.
We ask all homeowners to please water the new shrubs, trees and flowers on a weekly basis to protect our investment in making our complex look nicer.
