Just used these guys. Great experience. I thought I had an infestation. Instead of just taking my money to rip into the wall of my garage where I could see bees flying, the beekeeper used technology (some sort of heat camera lens thing) to look for a hive, and also used his experience with the way the bees were flying to point out they were still scouting my garage out (albeit in large numbers).
I liked it that they seemed to emphasize live-bee solutions instead of just immediately going to "kill." I get it that might need to be done sometimes, but I also like that is seemed to be a plan B. I also liked that the beekeeper was professional, and seemed to have everything he needed on his truck.
Good news for me . . . No hive established yet. So the beekeeper did some preventative work, examined the rest of my home, and then charged a beyond-very-fair price.
I did not have to use the service, but the keeper also showed me photos on his phone of massive removal work. These guys remove hives AND do the construction repair on the back end such as putting siding back on, putting roofs back on, etc. (homes in photos looked to be nice, expensive homes . .. and the repair work looked solid).
I think I found my beekeeper should I ever need one again. Hopefully, I will not. read more
