Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Dear Sirs,

I wish to thank you profusely from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and consideration in your prompt response to my urgent need for help with bees infestation in a tree at the front entrance of my house.

You were referred to me by the City of Palm Coast. Your very professional & courteous Miss Gail Burton answered the phone and upon my desperate assertions that I was concerned about possible harm from the bees but was unable to afford the cost, very sympahtetic & humanely she told me she would consult with her boss, Mr. Richard Martyniak, & would call me back.

Within the hour, she called back to state the Mr. Martyniak had agreed to help, and he would have a technician stop by tommorrow, July 16th for treatment.

You cannot imagine how wonderful it is to find such kind and considerate people to come to the aid when there is legitimate need. I would have been in an anxious situation, not been able to afford taking care of the problem that could cause harm to others.

I reiterate my heartfelt thanks, and may the Lord bless your organization, and particularly Miss Gail Burton, Mr. Richard Martyniak & Mr. Asheton Hoverkamp, who are true professionals and free of greed.

Sincerely,

Lydia Stannard

Thanks for educating our Residents!

Dear Richard,

Thank you so much for participating in Palm Coast's Arbor Day. As usual, your tent was a big hit! I really appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to educate residents. I hope we will see you next year. Once again, thank you for everything!

Sincerely,

Carol Bennett, Urban Forester
City of Palm Coast, Florida

RMM note: Thank YOU! Carol! We always enjoy participating in your fine event and meeting many of Palm Coast's citizens and educating about stinging insects found in the area. Many visitors were astonished to learn that African Honey Bees, (aka Killer Bees), are now encountered in Palm Coast and Flagler County.

I enjoyed looking at the pics on your site, and found one of a young citizen looking at some of our Yellowjacket nests (don't worry, not live yellow jackets!!) on display.

We did bring an observation hive of live honey bees, and samples of honey bee comb and of course..tasty honey from Winter Park Honey!

We also were pleased to find our friends from the Jacksonville Zoo, including Carl and his feathered friend:
