With the warmer weather here to (hopefully) stay, we anticipate more people will be walking around town and riding bicycles. In order to keep everyone safe, please be mindful of the following tips as they pertain to pedestrian safety and driver awareness.
🚨 In addition to the tips mentioned below, always make sure you make eye contact with the driver of a vehicle prior to entering the crosswalk.

Thanks to beekeeper Pete for stopping by Spring Garden Park to safely relocate a hive of honey bees that were on one of the benches!

So glad you called a beekeeper instead of having someone spray and kill them. The bees had swarmed and looking for a new place. Actually the honey bee won’t sting you unless you make it mad. ðŸ˜
How do we get in contact with Pete??
Much respect to those trying to save the bees! Keep up the good work
