The city of Sanibel reported that the Pond Apple Park Trail from Bailey Road to the retention pond is temporarily closed as of today, March 18.<\/p>\n
A fallen tree blocking the path was found to contain a large active bee nest, creating a safety hazard for users of the trail.<\/p>\n
The closed section will remain inaccessible until a specialist can safely remove the bees and crews can clear the fallen tree debris.<\/p>\n
There is no estimated reopening date at this time; the removal is being scheduled as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
Residents and visitors are asked to:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Avoid the closed section of the trail.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Do not attempt to approach or disturb the bee nest.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Use alternate routes and\/or other park facilities and trails.<\/p>\n
