City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #192745

Other:

Other: 1006 E Heather Dr. Tree in the tree plot has a significant number of large bees swarming and living in the tree. It is next to our community mailboxes, which presents a problem. The ground, underneath the tree, is turning black and the leaves are also turning black. I do believe they are killing this very lovely tree which the city planted a few years ago. Also, between Sherbrooke Place Condos (1000 E. Heather Drive) and Peppergrass condos, there is a deep hole, which a white pipe with a red flag has been placed so that someone doesn't step in the hole and injury themselves. There are many older residents who walk their dogs in this area.

Will add to inspection list. Most likely a combination of Scale insects, honey dew and sooty mold, which are very common this time of year. Unfourtantly not a whole lot can be done, although it is unsightly, it is rarely fatal to the tree.

We are addressing the hole in the ground. Transferred to Haskell regarding the tree since we believe it probably needs looked at.

Haskell, We checked this out and it looks like the tree is secreting sap and that is drawing in the bees. Can anything be done about this?
