The Beekeeper In-depth knowledge of bee behavior and bee biology is required to successfully remove bees. We began in 1992 as commercial beekeepers providing crop pollination services to farmers in Arizona and California. We also produced honey in the Arizona desert and the Flagstaff area. While keeping bees, we recognized the need for a professionally operated bee removal service in the Phoenix Metropolitan area. Our goal is your complete satisfaction with our service to remove European and Africanized honey bees, and other flying insects.

We appreciate the value of honey bees as pollinators and as a generally beneficial insect. We also recognize that some of our customers have chemical sensitivities that will not allow the use of insecticides. For these reasons, we offer live bee removal and bee relocation service.

Honeycomb Removal
Report
Honey bees that have been present in any location for more than one or two weeks will have produced a significant amount of honeycomb and honey (hive materials). After extermination/removal of the bees, we always recommend the removal of hive materials, when practicable. This generally requires cutting open a wall or roof, cleaning out and disposing the hive materials, and site cleanup. An additional fee applies for removal of hive material.

Discovered a bee hive in one of our exterior walls. Called The Beekeeper. Jake came out within a few hours to spray the hive and get them under control. A few days later, Marino came out to open up the wall and remove the hive. Both techs were very courteous and answered all my questions about the procedures they were going to do. Marino did an awesome job of patching the wall after he did all necessary work inside the wall. Highly recommend this company.

I called them on a holiday they promptly responded to our call. They came out on the same day, got rid of the wasps around our pool. Thanks to them we were able to enjoy the pool safety!

Bees decided to set up their home inside the exterior wall of my garage. I chose The Beekeeper because of their testimonials and humane approach for handling bee removal. Every time I called to schedule an appointment, Cheri would get back to me within an hour and had me scheduled within the next 48 hours. While it took the team a few times to track down the honeycomb, they didn't charge me for subsequent visits and were always very thorough in their checks. Jake was my primary technician and I can't say enough great things about him.

He was extremely courteous, respectful, and helpful in explaining the action plan for removing the comb. While I was bummed that we had to exterminate the bees as the queen was just not accessible, we had to take that course as they were starting to disturb my neighbors and were attacking my landscapers. I had the option to leave the honeycomb in the wall, but when Jake explained that the honey could eventually rot the wall and/or attract unwanted critters, I decided to have him extract.and boy am I glad I did (see the pics)! Jake and Marino did a great job in restoring the stucco.

I can't even tell that there was any work done to my exterior! I wholeheartedly recommend The Beekeeper for efficient bee removal and overall honesty, commitment, and great service.

I have found the Beekeeper on Yelp and have used them twice. The first time I had a hole in a brick building and the bee's created a huge bee hive and they pulled out 50 pounds of honeycomb. The second time was just a few weeks ago and I found bee's in a water meter hole. I called Beekeeper's and was surprised that someone was available and came out the same day.

I was not at the location but they called me and I was able to tell them the location of the bee's. They took are of it very quickly. Beekeeper's called me a week later for the invoice and got this all taken care of. Very convenient. The Beekeeper is very professional and has taken care of all my bee hive problems. If you have a bee hive issue, give them a call. They are my go to bee hive removal company and will for sure use them again

We found a beehive on our back shed on a Wednesday and called The Beekeeper Total Bee control Thursday around noon and Jake came out that afternoon! Thankfully they were able to address the issue that day and within 15 minutes of arriving! He smoked out most of the bees and gave a remedy of how to keep them away in the future!

This was my 2nd bee hive colony, so I already knew that as long as the bees weren't aggressive, there was no need to hit the panic button. I used a different company back in 2018 to remove some seriously aggressive bees. The guy who came out was a flat out jerk. He made it seem like I was inconveniencing him on a Sunday afternoon. Its simple, if you dont want the job, don't answer the phone!

He killed all the bees and I was left to clean up the mess of dead bees, poisoned honey and honeycomb. No advice or pointers on clean up and no referrals to someone that could. Fast forward to April 2021. I called The Beekeepers. From the phone call and on, NIGHT AND DAY difference in service. Sam, the tech who came out, was punctual, courteous, knowledgeable and professional.

He told me about their process and what it really takes to do a proper removal, clean up and future prevention. They are so sure of their process that they offer an outstanding warranty IN WRITING if you use their company for the entire process. Needless to say, yes I had them do the work and yes, this is the only company I will use in the future. Period.

We found bees in a wall of our patio. We Called The Beekeeper Friday afternoon they set up an appointment to be at my home early Saturday morning 7am. Tech Jake arrived promptly, he was very professional took an assessment and gave me an estimate. When he tore off the portion of wall he found that the hive was very small and he adjusted his price accordingly. I found the Beekeeper to be an honest and trustworthy company. Thank you Jake the Beekeeper.

Marino was very friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Explained the problem and steps need to remove the bees in laymans terms, so that I could fully understand the process. He also took pictures of everything he did, in additional to physically showing me the massive amounts of honeycomb he removed. Great company and service!

The bees had been killed off several months before it was noticed that honey was running out close to the ground. The BeeKeeper was called and they removed approximately 200lbs of hive and honey from inside my garage wall. After the removal, the hole was patched and they took the time to match the paint. The patch was great. These men had to work in a small tight space and the temperature was over 110 degrees. I would not hesitate to recommend The BeeKeeper.

Marino came back out to our home to perform the honeycomb removal and repair service per the recommendation from the last visit in November. Marino was very professional every step of the way explaining the process as he worked on removing the honeycomb and repaired the opening on the second story roof tiles. We are very pleased with the services and would highly recommend the company for anyone who has to deal with any type of bee problem. Thank you!

Called them at 8am with my bee problem, Jake showed up at 9, I'm thinking this is great. He slowly and throughly explain our options what to expect and not expect and went to work. Guess what I haven't seen a bee since. He was very professional and obviously knowledgeable. I would highly recommend The Beekeeper Thanks Jake

I had bees in my garage wall and I called The BeeKeeper late on a Saturday, and they had Jake come out the next day on a Sunday. He called me when he was on his way and was very professional. He inspected and was able to do the extermination, removal, and clean up effectively and all for a great reasonable price. Thanks, to Jake and The BeeKepper I appreciated you guys. I will be calling them anytime I have bee trouble in the future. I highly recommend the service.

We would like to say how grateful we are to Marino Cliffton for being the tech for The Beekeeper who helped us with our epic bee matter. My husband and I are grateful for this kind and professional young man that handled our problem for us on May 1,2nd and 3rd. We feel a sense of peace now that the job was done correctly and with someone who treated this situation like it was his own problem. Thank you and we hope wish the world had more people like Marino. Carol and Jim in mesa Arizona.

On the phone, they said they charge $175 to remove wasps nest in attic using a camera to located and remove. In reality, all the guy did was spray the opening they were going in and out. That they charged $175 (and then also said no guarantee, which they didn't say on the phone).

Incredible service! First off, I had so much wrong advice from pest control companies, that I was thrilled to find a competent company that knows what they are doing. The Beekeeper only works with bees, wasps, yellow jackets and bumble bees. The are specialists and will safely remove bee hives which can be set up within days. They work 24/7/365. so I encourage you not to waste your time with exterminators and only call The Beekeeper.

This hive came like air raid out of the desert and scared us as we were enjoying Easter Sunday. The BEEKEEPER again rescued us and the man that came was Oscar Acevedo who took the time to give us options and plans. In no time at all he had rescued the majority of bees into to boxes but as you can see behind the plaque was above the bees with the queen behind it along with tons of other bees! Oscar was careful with the plants growing under it so that he would not step on anything but had to spray the rest of the bees. He communicated very well and was a pro. Thanks to the BEEKEEPER we are safe and sound. I give you a 100% rating.

We called as soon as we saw the bees on the side of our house. It was a Monday night and they let us know someone would be out the next morning between 8-10. They showed up at 8:15 and got right to work! It only took about 20-30 minutes before he was done. No hassle or needing to come in my house. He was very pleasant and efficient as well. He also said if they are still not gone in 5 days he would come back out, no problem. They were all gone after only two days though. Highly recommend The Beekeeper!

Found bees in my house Friday night. Found a 2' wide hive under the overhang of my roof. Called my normal pest control company, which was responsive and came out first thing Saturday morning. However the problem was too much for them and they suggested I find a beekeeper. Called this company at 9 am and they had someone at my house at noon. He explained the situation and the process. Turns out the removal was more difficult than expected because he didn't expect the hive to be so developed. Because he didn't disclose the additional cost upfront he didn't try to upcharge me. Fast service. Excellent explanation. Thoroughly completed job. Highly recommended.

We highly recommend The Beekeepers. They got back to me after hours via email and were super responsive to get a technician out ASAP. The work done by Mariano was fantastic. Marino was courteous, prompt, worked efficiently, and explained all the steps and what to expect well. We had him come back for a second issue on another day and again he was awesome. I have zero hesitation to call The Beekeepers again if any future bee concerns arise.

Out of nowhere, an enormous swarm of bees took over my backyard in Tempe and decided my oleander was a great place to hang out. We immediately called the Bee Keeper on a Friday afternoon. James was at my house in an hour and it took less than 30 min to safely box up these little buggers. He estimated about 4500 honeybees- yikes! Super professional, extremely knowledgeable and definitely recommend these guys! Feels good to know these little bees have a chance to thrive on Tyler farms and I plan on stopping by there soon to pick up some local honey! Thanks James for taking care of us and for these cool pictures!

Just had James come and take care of a bee issue that I spotted just yesterday. He was very knowledgeable and friendly about the bees. He handled himself well and in a professional manner. I was impressed with how it was all handled. He was able to give me many options and recommendations on what our next game plan is for total removal. I am thankful that he was able to come out promptly so we can get a handle on everything that needs to happen.

The Beekeeper was prompt to arrive and address our concerns of bee activity. Using a scope, they found we had an active hive in our roof, as we suspected. Marino completed the removal of honeycomb, cleared the bees and sealed up the entry in just a few hours. Thank you Beekeeper for listening to our concerns and working with us to remove the bees.

On the Saturday before Easter Sunday we had a swarm of bees fly into our backyard. With our family visiting along with our grandchildren, we became very nervous. They flew in a large swarm and then landed on a tree in our backyard not far from our patio. We watched as they seem to calm as their nest grew in size. I called THE BEEKEEPER and spoke with Ricardo.

He immediately calmed my nerves by explaining the bees were more than likely moving from one location to another. Based on the time he said they would be nesting and stay that way until late morning Easter Sunday. When the temperature warmed enough they would leave. If they didn't they would be out to remove them at our conveinance. Ricardo during the call took the time to explain about bees.

All of which helped calm my nerves and those of my family. Well the next day as Ricardo predicted they woke, swarmed and flew away. If BEEKEEPER was a dishonest business they would have come out when I called and charged me even though they knew they would leave! I highly recommend BEEKEEPER! They are honest, knowledgeable and very nice to deal with! Richard

These guys are great! I thought I had a bee problem and Nick got to my house within 20 minutes. ON A SATURDAY! Turns out that the bees were just foraging which is apparently normal during the hot and dry summer. Nick did a full inspection and didn't charge me anything to do it. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend The Beekeeper.

There was a large swarm of bees in my backyard. I'd never seen anything like it. The bees were clustering under the eve of my backyard patio roof. I called The Beekeeper and Russ W was sent to my house. Most of the bees were not visible when Russ arrived, but after pointing to where the bees were clustering, he told me he was sure they were all up inside the patio roof cavity (no insulation in patio roofs make nice bee hangouts).

He got right to work and 10 minutes later, was done and letting me know what to expect over the next few days. Their work is guaranteed for 90 days, which is reassuring. I was instructed to call back if the bees were not totally gone within 72 hours. He also informed me I should seal the small opening in the patio roof where the bees entered after they were gone. I thought the price was very reasonable given the response time and service performed.
