More than 12 months have passed since the beginning of the pandemic. A full year as a society making adjustments and sacrifices, working hard to maintain essential services in our daily lives. We have all applauded the bravery and integrity of health care workers and of those who keep the precious supply chain of consumer goods running smoothly, along with many others who provide basic services.

The janitorial services industry received very little recognition during the pandemic, even though maintenance workers rose to the great challenges that came with the pandemic. We salute the members of our fraternity who, despite the competitive nature of our industry, stepped into the breach to provide maintenance and cleaning, in safe and secure fashion, in our clients' buildings.

Today Bee-Clean Building Maintenance wishes to express our heartfelt thanks to all our employees who often work behind the scenes, providing essential services to our clients. They admirably and unconditionally agreed to step forward and face the unknown, even when requests for disinfection entailed the risk of viral traces remaining in common areas of buildings.

We are proud of our employees, who demonstrated the true nature of an outstanding team. They took on new challenges and maintained our high standards of excellence, despite the pandemic.

We would also like to emphasize the continued trust and confidence of our clients, who steadfastly supported us over the past year. Like many of you, we look forward to a return to a pre-pandemic normality.
