# The Busy Bees

As winter rolls in to Cape Town, it is getting colder and wetter. We have been experiencing some issues with the local sewerage in the area of Flamingo Vlei and there are some roads that even had their storm drains backed up and the roads flooded!

Hopefully they will sort out the sewerage that affects our home soon.

Have a great week!

## The Basic Rules of Activity

- Activity means posting and commenting within a 30-day time. 

- Posting weekly is recommended.

- Supporting one another with votes and engagement is encouraged. There is zero enforcement, we just recommend it. If you want people on Hive who will speak and interact with you - just look at the people in this list!

There are a few accounts (like the top Minnows) that have gone inactive that I do NOT take down due to inactivity. This is mainly to give the active Minnows and Redfish something to aim at. It would also be really cool to see you guys catch up to these larger accounts due to your activity vs the inactivity of these accounts.

NOTE that these rules are going to change to suit the 100 ACTIVE accounts vision. Once we have 100 Active members those inactive placeholders will fall away. Then we will really become a powerhouse.

# Nomination of Gifts

My Nomination of sharing 50% of this post's payout goes to @swordandboard for being the lowest HP account that posted something this week. (and is not on a negative HP growth or joined this week, or holding posting rewards unclaimed for weeks that would put you ahead of others who also could grow.)


In support of our Redfish doing well, For @alonicus' SBI gifts I nominate:  @okarun and @alwaysonyi! Well done!

Let's go! Good luck for the new week!
