What Makes Me Different

What makes The Other Bee Guy different from the rest

The Bee Counselor Approach

Unlike pest control services, I don't kill bees—I rehome them, giving them a chance to thrive and support our environment through pollination. For 25 years, I've been dedicated to Central Florida, serving our community through counseling and humane bee removal.

What makes me stand out from the competition is my 25-year career as a school counselor, guiding people to transform their lives and helping people with problems including bee problems (Bee Counselor).

Currently, I serve as a counselor at Orange Technical College, helping individuals earn GEDs and build brighter futures with career changes. My beekeeping philosophy mirrors my counseling approach: I listen, provide honest and reliable solutions, and get the job done.

My Promise to You:

“No games, upfront pricing. Some competitors will say it will be a range and then charge more once they scare you about the hive size or aggressiveness. I do not play those games. If the job ends up taking more time or is bigger than expected, I eat the cost and do not charge more. I also stand by my work—if you're unhappy, I'll refund your money.”

Client Experiences

Real Stories from Homeowners, Educators & Farmers

We had a fantastic experience with James and his bee removal service! From the moment I called, he was extremely professional and communicated with me promptly. He came out the very same day to remove a large hive that had been forming on the side of our house. James is incredibly knowledgeable, and he even took the time to teach us about bee science! We highly recommend James—he is trustworthy, professional, and punctual. You can count on him to get the job done right!.

James is so kind, knowledgeable, and helpful! He came out on the fly to check out our manufacturing facility and warehouse, which was infested with hundreds of bees outside and inside. He helped us brainstorm a bunch of different solutions to fix our problem while educating us on how we created the problem and what we needed to do differently. He takes his time, has a great attitude, and is a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much, James!

I can’t recommend The Other Bee Guy Bee Removal enough! Mr James (the owner) was incredibly responsive and professional. I had a bee issue that needed quick attention, and he showed up promptly and ready to go! The coolest part was he recorded the entire removal process and explained everything along the way in the video! It was fascinating to watch and so reassuring to understand what was happening. If you’re dealing with bees, this is the company you want to call. A+ service from start to finish!

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about beekeeping and my services

Bees are generally fuzzy with rounded bodies, while wasps have smooth, shiny bodies with a defined waist. Honeybees are typically less aggressive than wasps and are more interested in flowers than your food. If you're unsure, I can help identify the species and recommend the best course of action.
When done properly, bee removal should not harm the colony. I specialize in humane bee removal that preserves the hive and relocates the bees to a safe environment where they can continue to thrive. This is better for both the bees and the environment.
The cost varies depending on the location of the hive, its size, and accessibility. I provide free assessments and can give you an accurate quote after evaluating your specific situation. Rest assured, I offer competitive rates and focus on humane removal methods.
Yes, I understand that bee situations can sometimes be urgent. I offer emergency bee removal services and will respond as quickly as possible. Please call my emergency line for immediate assistance.
Most removals can be completed in a few hours, but larger or more complex situations may take longer. After assessing your specific situation, I can provide a more accurate timeframe for the removal process.
In many cases, yes. If the honey hasn't been contaminated by pesticides or other chemicals, I can harvest it during the removal process. However, sometimes the honey needs to stay with the bees to ensure their survival in their new location.
The best way to start is through education and mentorship. I offer beginner workshops regularly and can provide one-on-one mentoring. I recommend starting with a basic understanding of bee biology, behavior, and hive management before investing in equipment.
I love educating children about the importance of bees. My school presentations are interactive, age-appropriate, and designed to inspire the next generation of bee advocates. Contact me for availability and pricing for educational programs.
