This is a follow up review. When Jesse came and relocated the bees for us, he told us there would some straggler bees who would stay till they decided to go back to their place of origin or died( granted we were hoping for the first option). I was super concerned about the bees reconstructing a hive or just choosing to stay in our garage. Jesse was kind enough to return and spray some deterrent on the outside to give the bees some deterrence and answering any questions/concerns I had. Today I checked on where our stragglers were squatting and they were l gone. (Just like Jesse said they would) 1000% choose Jesse if you want to save the bees but also get them out of the area they've decided to call their inconvenient home. read more

In late March I saw a lot of bees swarm inside my house's attic. I realized it has a beehive in there. I Google searched to find a bee remover company to take it out. I found sever companies. One of the companies of an estimated over $2800, some another around $1300. I searched and found Jesses' company on the phone. He came on time to check the situation and gives me a very fair price and friendly talk on the phone. Two days later he came on time removed the queen out and clean out the beehive did a very professional job. I am very please and impress he did and always responds to my call after he has done that job. I am highly recommending he is a guy who can help you remove the beehive. read more

With Jesse, you can trust you're getting an honest price and an honest job done. He schedules services immediately, and is very good with making sure the area is safe before removing the bees! May I also add, that JR Bees is one of the few companies who ACTUALLY remove the bees live and relocate.. I called another company who swore there was "no way" to remove the bees live. Called JR Bees and not only did he remove them live, but he quoted me $100 less than the competitor. Yippee! Watch out for those companies who claim live removal and use a vacuum!! JR Bees located the Queen in minutes, and scooped up the bees with his bare hands! It was incredible to watch! read more

We recently had some bees start a hive right by our front door that seemed to explode over the course of a day. Jesse came over within the day and had the bees removed. He is extremely knowledgeable and friendly and the whole process was quick, easy, and affordable. It was important to me that the bees were ethically removed and that they didn't use any chemicals. It was obvious that Jesse knew what he was doing. I will 100% use the company for further issues with bees and would highly recommend Jesse for any job. Really good experience. read more

Jesse is a bee superstar! It was really important to us not to destroy the hive and to save as many bees as we could and Jesse came to the rescue very quickly! They were in a super difficult spot to get to but Jesse found the path of least resistance, removed the combs, the queen, and the hive and then repaired our drywall. Highly recommend his services! read more

We will never go anywhere else! Jesse was here so quick and took care of a big hive. I did not want to kill them as everything you read is how important bees are right now. Everyone else told me they would try not to kill the hive! Jesse was so nice to my resident too. I will never worry again about who to call, if more bees decide to move in. read more

Jessie came out within an hour of calling him with our emergency. Bees swarming in our loft space. He managed to coax the queen out and trap her. The worker bees followed. Jessie left with a rather large box of bees. Problem solved. Pleasant, informative and expert. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Jesse, the owner of this company, is fabulous! He was very responsive by text and scheduled us for same-day service. He is so friendly and patient.

Jesse Adcock was quick and efficient. Reasonable rates for a difficult hive removal requiring disassembling part of a fence to get to the queen! My husband and I highly recommend if you have a bee situation at your home. read more

I am aware that bees are almost sacred right now, but I am highly allergic and can't have them right outside my back door. I called Jesse and he came right out the next day (a Sunday)! He educated me, explaining that I had provided the perfect water source in my decorative fountain full of water lilies. He instructed me how to discourage that behavior by covering it uptight for a couple weeks. He didn't charge me a dime! I will be sure to keep his number very handy as he says I must have a hive close by in the neighborhood. read more

I e-mailed JR Bees on a Sunday morning regarding a basketball sized swarm of honey bees that had decided to take up residence in a tree in my small front yard. I immediately received a phone call from Jesse. He arranged to come the same day, and arrived at the time he estimated. He and a fellow worker were obviously very comfortable around bees. They climbed a ladder and shook out the ball of bees from the tree into a box, then gave the agitated, flying strays a chance to come join the rest of the hive in the box. They said they would be relocated to an organic farm in Vista where they kept the rest of their hives. They were humane, and thorough. I highly recommend their service. read more

Jesse was great! His price was reasonable and I was pleased he was able to come out the next day. The bees were starting a hive by our front door and I didn't want to wait a week. Another place I saw on Yelp said that they did live bee removal but when arrived to do an estimate, the guys told me that they would have to exterminate these. So glad that Jesse told me that killing the bees wouldn't be necessary. He was very careful to find the hive before he opened up our stucco column. He used both an infrared sensor and a camera to find them. He used an organic spray to get them to leave the hive they were starting, found the queen and got them to follow her to a bee box--all barehanded and in shorts and a t-shirt! He was very knowledgeable and friendly and I have an even deeper appreciation for bees and beekeepers. While I never really want to find bees starting a hive at my house, I know who I'd call or recommend to friends or neighbors. read more

I had a bee emergency inside of my home and Jesse came out right away. He was thorough and clearly explained the situation to me. Fortunately, the situation was simply a swarm passing through and not as serious as I had feared. I offered to pay him for his time and gas, but Jesse said that the consultation was no charge. I'll be sure to call him again if I'm in a pinch and wouldn't hesitate to refer him to a friend! read more

I called Jesse over the weekend and explained to him the issue I have related to honey bees, I explained to him in great detail with the situation was. That the honeybees were in my exhaust system. And it was not easy access. He quoted me over the phone they would be anywhere from USD200-USD400. I was pretty comfortable with that price and set up an appointment. The only good thing I can say about Jesse is that he showed up on time. With I believe his brother. However, it went bad from their I showed him the location. He climbed up on his ladder to take a survey and determine that they were still honeybees making access to my exhaust system. He later wanted to get into my house to check for access by way of the attic. I showed him the access point. He later left to go get a ladder or step ladder in order to gain access to the attic area. Somehow I explained to me at the returning that he broke off the key and was unable to get his ladder. I understood that, but then he quoted me a price between 600 and USD700. You could imagine the shock that was on my face when he originally quoted me between USD200-USD400 if I remember correctly. I cannot understand why he thought that he could charge a consumer seven to USD800 for the removal it made absolutely no sense. When he had previously quoted 200 to 400. This was totally insane for him to have a complete reversal and almost double the cost for his services. I told him that I would think about it. And then he later explained to me that it was very detailed work. That he would be doing live recovery, he would have to also make sure that the area was completely covered to prevent the spread of the honeybees. His price was totally insane and for anyone that is giving him positive comments. It must be because they were not up sales as he attempted to do with me. The end result was I did not get his services. He did suggest several ways extermination or he had a referral for me for someone that could do extermination. Totally not what I was looking for. I was not looking for extermination. Or to be charged and excessive price for his services. I called around and I finally got a hold of a honeybee live removal group who were very professional responded on time as scheduled, 8:00 AM and the cost was USD400. I cannot understand why Jesse wanted at least double that amount. I gave him a one star but this should be something to give him a zero*. How he came up with an excessive price which was double the amount that he previously quoted me over the phone was insane. I'm not sure whether not his prices is based on the square footage of the house or the individual customer. I felt like I was being profiled and I felt offended by the price that he was offering to do a such a simple job. In later to find out the job could been completed for USD400. In my view, he should be taken off any list of being outstanding service. Anyone had given him five stars was Eva one paid to do that or to he did not charge them and excessive price for the services rendered. I may sound somewhat frustrated but to know that someone would take advantage of you or make some attempt to profile will base their price on the resident square footage of the house or the individual himself. I wish I could understand his pricing. Although he explained to me, but it made absolutely no sense. How he explained it to me in considering I hired Russ live be removal company for half the price he quoted me. I would say and I would highly recommend Russ be removal family owned and operated since 1985 is a great choice for removal at a price that is not excessively, and I did not get the impression that Russ was profiling or making a price based upon the residents. I would highly recommend not utilizing JR BEES live lhoneybee removal based on their business practices and pricing. USD800 is insane. In the find out the job can be done by someone other than JR bee removal for half the price. Jesse was no way reasonable in his price. His estimates are way overpriced for his services offered. read more

We weren't sure if we had a hive but could definitely hear the buzz! We contacted Jesse and he was at our house in about 30 minutes. We didn't need his service as it turned out there was no hive, but he was super nice and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to relocate a bee problem! read more

Jesse is terrific! I called him to come relocate a hive below our Trex deck. He arrived at the appointed time, and spent about 45 minutes here, working on removing our stripped-screw deck boards (in his bee suit, while members of the angry hive surrounded him). After examining the hive and their behavior, he determined them to be Africanized ("killer bees"). Sadly, killer bees can't be reintroduced into "normal" bee society, meaning our hive will have to be destroyed. :( After we commiserated about not being able to save the hive, he recommended a local, small-business guy who's coming out tomorrow to assess the situation (I'll post a review of his business once the work's been done). After all of that time and effort here, Jesse declined to charge any fee, saying we could put our costs toward the actual hive removal. Who does that?! I would have expected -- and happily paid -- a service fee, or to reimburse him some amount for his time and effort. Professional, friendly, and extremely helpful; if I ever have a "regular" hive problem, I wouldn't call anybody else. read more
