Dear Mr. Chen, Thank you for your email regarding the rooftop beekeeping initiative. I appreciate your and understand your concerns as a top-floor resident. Regarding placement, the hives will be installed on the western side of the roof, approximately 30 meters from your balcony, with a between them and residential units. Our contracted beekeeper, Ms. Rivera, has 15 years of experience and assures us that twice-monthly visits are for urban hives of this size. About the honey distribution, residents will indeed receive two jars annually, and there will be an option to at a discounted rate. I understand your concern about the startup costs. The condo board is currently exploring sponsorship options that might offset some expenses while still allowing us to this summer. I hope this addresses your questions, and I look forward to discussing this further at next week's meeting. Regards, Anita Patel
