The Busy Bees
Christmas does and a new week is upon us, the last week of the year. I have still been rather busy... I still have to write that post about my plans for the Busy Bees for the future... but more about that later...
Ecency Points to distribute
Some community members have been sending me Ecency Points to distribute. They are as follows:

I was able to distribute points today, I had to use my phone app.
Last week we had 41,600 points left, this week I send out 2,200 points and then we have 39,400 left.
Donations of more Ecency Points are welcome! (PS please send me a message on a comment somewhere and let me know, otherwise I might forget to count it!

Milestones of 1,000HP Increments
Congratulations to @cryptoandcoffee for hitting the 184,000HP Milestone!
Congratulations to @papilloncharity for hitting the 169,000HP Milestone!
Congratulations to @fermentedphil for hitting the 39,000HP Milestone!

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 @alwaysonyi 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: @temmylade and @lecia89! Well done! Great growth and performance!
Let's go! Good luck for the new week!

I do not check to see if any of the Sleeping Bees are active again. If your name is on here and you are active again and you want to be part of the weekly list then please make a comment on this post that you are active again.

Thanks a lot for the update, Zak, and I look forward to hearing about your plans for the Busy Bees! 2026, here we come! πππβ¨π€

Thanks for the update and support π
Cheers!
Yay, week 52 ! Next week is the first one of 2026 π
Well-deserved SBI's sent to @temmylade and @lecia89 π
Also, on a total side-tangent, for the last 3 years I've been doing weekly update posts of my Hive account growth as part of the #SaturdaySavers initiative (I've seen a few of you over there !). This was the last year of SaturdaySavers, sadly. But it's been a great way to help me stay disciplined with lots of support from the other members.
Rather than just giving up with the weekly updates, I plan to move them over to the Busy Bees Community. Yes, we've got a community fore the Busy Bees ! It's sorely under-used, so I plan to do my little bit in starting to change that. If enough of the rest of us start putting updates there, I might make it a more formal thing like a kind of "mini Saturday Savers" and do a weekly summary post with a few little prizes etc.
I'm all for that. I think what should be abundantly clear is that the intention with the Busy Bees is for it to behave very much the way that we intend Hive to: Multiple instances of groups, reports and events can exist all at the same time since it is a community and it is decentralized.
I am going to keep doing my part. But I welcome more stuff to be done by others any day!
Thank you π
