It was a typical day but out of nowhere a swarm of bees made a home in a bush next to our mailbox. It.was.a.LOT! When we searched online, the results were only about extermination. Then we remembered a good friend of ours had a similar issue who called someone to save the bees. Without hesitation she provided us with Ken and Penny's contact information from the Hawai'i Bee Hotline. They were amazing! Ken responded quickly and patiently educated us on what they do and why. Upon arrival (that was on the SAME DAY), they continued to walk us through their process with thought and care. Penny went into further detail on why we need to save our bees while Ken was all suited up, taking care of the bees. Our home is now swarm free and we also have a peace of mind these bees have a new home. Thanks so much Ken and Penny! read more

Hawaii bee Hotline - The swarm of bees! - Pest Control Near Me

Ken was the only one who responded the same day after I attempted to contact 5 other bee removal companies. He referred me to John and Syreen of Island Bee Removal. See my review on their profile. I'm guessing since they live on the westside he will refer you too them if you are on the westside. Mahalo for the great referral! read more

We had a scare one Saturday morning. Imagine hearing like a loud car engine running loudly. Mine you normally it's pretty quite in our area. Which alarmed me. I went out to investigate it and saw a swarm of bees gathering right outside of our house. We wanted to find a way to remove them without harm. We yelped and found Hawaii Bee Hotline. Once I called he answered right away. They came down to our place to evaluate the situation within an hour. And also removed most of the hive in such a short time. They were going to bring them to a property they have that they hold the bees at. So they are safe. We learned something out of it too. That bee hives consist of mostly females. How interesting ya!?!. The male bees are only there for a certain purpose. Haha. poor thing. Not sure what I mean!?! I think probably google can explain. Or even if you call them on a rare bee emergency situation you will find out. They are really passionate in what they do, and are a friendly and professional couple. Don't hesitate to call Hawaii Bee Hotline. The are unBEElieveable. (get it!?!) read more

Big Mahalo for Ken relocating the honey bees that showed up at my house within 3 hours. Ken was able to come to my place within 2 hours of call him for help. Big Mahalo again! read more

Bees in a hot tub. Somehow the bees found a little tiny puka under the fiberglass tub and the frame/skirting. Underneath the actual tub is a small dark sealed cavity and that is where they started a new beehive deep inside that hidden space. It kept getting worse with an ever increasing number of bees. I was nervous about even going out on my deck because I was afraid they would swarm and attack me. Ecological disaster: The other thing I knew about bees is that they are dying off. But they are important to plants and pollination. No bees. No plants. I might have been more aggressive and dumped and sprayed strong pesticides in there to kill them off. But, I knew that was not right. Just killing the endangered bees was not the answer. Especially when there are beekeepers willing and able to collect the bees and move them to a new location. Enter Yelp and Ken 'the bee guy': I did a yelp search and the Hawaii Bee Hotline seemed to be just what I needed. I had used the Yelp 'request a quote' feature before. I gave a description of my problem and got a quick response. I was surprised that he had dealt with bees in hot tubs before. Ken said he knew from experience exactly how much work was involved and gave me a quote range. But he wanted to stop by and have a look first hand in order to give an exact quote. Exact Start to Finish Quote: So I agreed to the quote and we set up a time and date. Ken, a helper and Penny (wife and fellow beekeeper) showed up in beekeeper suits with the smoke devices and other specialized equipment. He explained that the bees would be removed regardless of what it took with no extra charges. Ken is intent on being as effective and professional as possible. Success: After extensive work they collected the honey comb and put it in the special box. But they didn't get the Queen Bee the first day. So they returned the next day and finally the bees went into the new box. Anyway, the bees were removed along with the queen and the hot tub put back together. My problem has been solved. Five Stars from me as I can't imagine any bee service being better. read more

Hawaii bee Hotline - 10,000 bees deep inside the hot tub !! - Pest Control Near Me

I didn't have to use this service, thanks to Peter's helpful phone advice. Had a couple dozen bees hovering around my car parked in the driveway, flying into and out of the grill and wheel wells. Was afraid they had set up shop, but Peter suggested they may have been scout bees, just looking for a good spot to set up a new hive. Since there wasn't a swarm, he suggested driving around to see if I could lose them, so I did. When I returned about 20 minutes later, the bees came back, so I parked down the street and that seemed to do the trick. The bees were gone from my driveway the next day, and no longer interested in my car. Thanks Peter! read more

Picture this-8am no bees 11 am 7,000 bees. 1 call and 60 minutes later, Ken is at our community, on Good Friday no less, taking care of our bee situation. He relocates them efficiently and with care. He gave me some bee education and saved some very important creatures. read more

Ken & Penny were the best! They were so knowledgeable and so quick to come to the rescue...even on a holiday! They were extremely affordable and such a pleasure to chat with while they corralled the bees! I hope to never experience another swarm of bees again...but if I do, they would be my first call! read more

We called Hawaii Bee Hotline because the bees were swarming and settling into our lanai ceiling. Ken had Syreen give me a call who coordinated the service. John came by the next day, assessed the situation and arranged to have 2 helpers the following day to remove the bees! All were dressed in bee keeper suits, and passionate about bees. They smoked the area to get the bees dozy, removed the ceiling and revealed a huge cluster of bees. John and his helpers carefully relocated the cluster into a carrier and took them away. We are really appreciative that they were able to come so quickly, were so knowledgeable, and cared about the bees. We'd highly recommend them. read more

Found Ken and the Hawaii Bee Hotline through a Google search. His website educated me about how bees are a limited resource here in the islands and how unlike the mainland, we cannot import honeybees here to pollinate our crops or produce local honey. Because of this, I decided to give Ken a call. I gave Ken a call the Friday when Hurricane Lane broke up into a tropical storm and he was able to (thankfully) squeeze me into his Sunday schedule. He re-homed a hive that made house inside a cross-fit jump box stored on my back lanai. To my terrified self, the hive looked huge; but according to Ken, it was about 2-3 weeks old. The process took about 1 hour and it was quite an educational show for my family to watch through our back sliding door. All in all, I am very thankful for Ken's service. Just like others here on yelp have commented, I highly recommend the Hawaii Bee Hotline and they would be my "go to" if I ever encounter another swarm. Oh, I must add this final note: I almost resorted to extermination when I contacted another bee removal service on Google. The "other quote" I received was fairly high and had me thinking of cheaper extermination alternatives. However, Ken's pricing is affordable and his pricing honestly tells me that he is passionate about the survival of Hawaiian bees and their importance to the environment. Thank you Ken for not only your service, but what you do for all of us. read more

Ken is incredibly friendly and thorough. I came home to a colony of bees setting up in my Lanai closet and called Hawaii Bee Hotline. We were relieved to find a capture/relocation service rather than an exterminator (an exterminator will kill the bees but often leave the hive/honeycomb which will attract other pests to leftover honey). Ken was stuck in rush hour traffic but was at my condo within an hour. He explained everything as he was doing it and also answered all our questions. He worked around my cluttered Lanai and carefully moved things out of the way to get where he needed to. On top of the great service, his price was extremely reasonable. I would not hesitate to recommend Ken and Hawaii Bee Hotline to anyone who needs help with a bee problem. read more

We noticed bees gathering outside of our home and called a beekeeper recommended by my pest control company. After checking the inside and outside of the home 3x, they wanted to start opening up walls.. Luckily, I found Ken's info online and scheduled a consultation (free). He was super responsive and was able to locate the hive immediately. Unfortunately, Ken is so good, that he was completely booked, and I had to schedule the removal a month later. The day of the removal, my parents came over to observe, I'm so grateful to Ken and his wife for taking the time to educate us all on bees and their behavior. The removal went swiftly and we were able to keep a bunch of the honey. I highly recommend The Hawaii Bee Hotline for their professional service! read more

Thank you Ken, Penny and your crew for safely removing the bees from the back of our garage. They were very professional, efficient, clean and so nice!! When I found out that a hive was being started, I called Hawaii Bee Hotline on a Sunday and he answered. He came out the next day to assess the situation and then within 2 weeks they came and removed the hive. It was still a fairly new hive, so there wasn't any honey yet, but I'm glad they got it before it got any bigger. Thanks again to everyone at Hawaii Bee Hotline!! read more

I highly recommend contacting Ken at Hawaii Bee Hotline if you find yourself with a bee infestation. We had a swarm of a few thousand bees decide to make a home in our compost barrel. I called Ken and he came out the next day to safely move the hive and the bees to a new home. Ken was so nice and knowledgeable and explained the whole process to us.... and more!!! He only charged a small fee which was 6 times cheaper than what the first beekeeper quoted! Again, highly recommend calling the Hawaii Bee Hotline if you find yourself in need. I have the number saved in my phone. read more

I had a sudden swarm of bees in my yard that happened within minutes after from coming inside. It was a little freaky wondering what was going on, then they eventually settled on a branch on one of my flower trees and hung out in a cluster the size of a football. A friend told me about Hawaii Bee Hotline and I called, Ken answered right away and I told him what was going on. He educated me right away on this bee behavior. They were half of the bees from another nest looking to find a new place to make a hive separate from their overcrowded hive with their queen bee. He came later in the afternoon and took them to rehome them. He saved the bees and me!! Very personable and professional and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend for your bee emergencies!! Thank you Ken!! read more

We discovered a few dozen bees on our Waikiki lanai. Neighbors told us they wanted us to call an exterminator. As major bee fans we called Ken instead. He changed his plans and came over. We were blown away when he gently and cautiously removed TEN THOUSAND bees, relocating them to a more bee-friendly part of Oahu. We are now back to bee-free lanai moments, comforted by the knowledge that the only bees we have on this island are all we are going to have. If you notice a small swarm of bees don't hesitate to call Ken. read more

My husband and I noticed a sudden swarm of bees on the side of our house one afternoon. After some Googling, we read sometimes bees like to rest and will leave. So we waited until the next day and noticed bees on the trash can we put our yard trash in (sticks and leaves). We called Ken and he referred us to John who lived near by. John came in the next few hours. He spent about an hour extracting from our trash can. We told him he could jus take the trash can which he did. John estimated 20,000 bees! The next day we still had bees and noticed they were now congregating on a trash bag of plastic bottles. We texted John again and he came back after work. He took the bag and that was that! John came quickly, was super nice, and helpful. I highly recommend this group. It was important for us to find someone who would extract and not kill the bees. read more

As I was washing my car in the morning, I heard a swarm of bees buzzing. I waited for them to pass through, but to my surprise they were protecting a hive in an old speaker box. I'm not sure what aggravated them, perhaps a fallen mango? I called Ken that morning, but he said he wouldn't be able to come by today. However he asked if 9am, the next day, would be fine. I said see you tomorrow at 9am. They were punctual, very friendly, quick, and informative. Ken strapped the box, covered it with a blanket, carried it to his truck, and that was it. Very awesome service! Everyone's happy! They also sell HONEY! read more

These guys are the best. I had a swarm in my wall so I called Ken and he sent out Kevin to investigate and retrieve the bees if needed. Fortunately the bees decided to move their swarm before building a hive. Both Ken and Kevin spent a good amount of time educating me on the bees and how they move. It is clear to me that they are champions for the bees who really care about their welfare. I left the interaction feeling inspired to start as an amateur bee keeper. A big mahalo to Ken and Kevin. read more
