She stated the only bees that leave the hive <br />are foragers and explained these bees would not be traveling in swarms. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller questioned what type of training Ms. Herlund had with respect to beekeeping. <br />Ms. Herlund reported she completed an online course through the California Department of <br />Agriculture. She explained all passing scores were documented and sent to the City. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller asked if the hive would have a water source. Ms. Herlund reviewed the location <br />of her water source noting it would be within 10 feet of the hive and away from the fences. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller questioned how many beekeeping licenses the City had at this time. City <br />Administrator Zikmund estimated the City had between six and ten beekeeping licenses. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause commented honeybees were quite docile and noted they would not <br />mess with people unless they were extremely irritated.
