*Swarm Season is Here and Bees are House Hunting in ‘Burque!*

If you’ve ever had a swarm of bees during April and May, it’s not
surprising because these months are prime bee swarm season in Albuquerque.
With Albuquerque designated as a Bee City USA affiliate back in 2016, we
encourage residents to learn more about these vital parts of our planet and
help them thrive. After all, their pollination is responsible for every
third bite of food we eat so let’s keep them safe. To learn more about what
the City is doing to safekeep bees, and what you can do to help, visit:

*Scam Alert for Neighborhood Associations – Be Aware!*

The Office of Neighborhood Coordination (ONC) was recently alerted by one
of its  neighborhood associations of an attempted scam, in which fake board
member e-mail addresses were used to fraudulently request money be
transferred by other board members. Please be cautious when receiving
e-mail requests for any type of money transfer, and confirm in person with
the individual making the request. If you find that the e-mail request is a
hoax, report it immediately to the Albuquerque Police Department by making
an online report at: https://www.cabq.gov/police/police-reports or
reporting it directly to your Area Command.

*Neighborly Tip of the Week*

Are there senior citizens in your neighborhood? Why not get to know them
and see if there’s anything you can do to help them? Seniors often have
mobility issues or may not have dependable transportation, so offer to help
pull weeds, take their trash to the curb on collection day, take them to
the grocery store, or even just leave them a note with your telephone
number. Sometimes knowing there is someone to call is all the help folks
need!
