A request has been made by a BHA member to place a beehive on BHA Common Area. Bees play a critical role in pollenating flowers in trees, vegetables and decorative flowers. A potential site is located near the road leading to the mulch site, away from nearby homes and the golf course. Since the wind spreads insecticide, a hive location needs to be chosen that is farther than a lot depth from the road or golf course, where spraying is done. Click HERE for the full presentation.

Since the request involves Common Area, the BHA Board would like to survey its members for additional thoughts. We ask our members to complete a very brief survey to help inform us of members’ opinions on the matter. The survey runs from today through Tuesday, April 5, at 4:00pm. Click HERE to complete the survey. Thank you for your participation! Stay tuned for survey results and the BHA Board decision.

When in doubt, always ask first to ensure compliance with the Design Guidelines and any sub-association guidelines. BHA is here to help! We've made it easy for members with any questions related to trees and vegetation with a new email address: trees@baldheadassociation.com. Remember, just because it's a dead tree doesn't mean you can cut it down. To read the Design Guidelines document, click HERE.

Note that if you live in a managed drip-line community, your landscaping may be handled by either BHA (for Keeper's Landing, Surfman's Walk and Sumner's Crescent) or your specific neighborhood sub-association. BHA can help point you in the right direction.
