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!
