Highly recommend!! This entire experience was positive. Peter and his son Jason responded quickly and helped to turn a stressful situation into an educational one, taking care of us with aloha and a commitment to service that goes above and beyond. From the moment I spoke with Peter on the phone to meeting Jason, who came by to assess and take care of the bee situation, they were nothing less than awesome. Jason was personable, respectful, knowledgable and clearly focused on great customer service. He quickly identified what the situation was, where the bees were coming in to our house, gently took care of the existing bees, and gave us recommendations on how we can prevent the situation from recurring. We learned a lot about bees too! We felt like we had a small part in helping out the bee community, even if we had to let them know that we would prefer that they set up house elsewhere...LOL. (sorry bees!!) read more

Thank you Peter for your quick and professional help! We saw a few bees but had no idea that we had a huge hive in our house that was probably there for at least 4 months. Honey Bee Rescue came right away and safely took care of all of the bees, sealed the area that they were coming in from and did it all in a friendly and professional manner. We were so grateful for their help. I strongly recommend them to anyone who has any kind of bee problem. Don't try to take care of it yourself - we all have to save the bees and you don't know how many bees are really there. Call Honey Bee Rescue. read more

Huge shoutout to Péter at Honeybee Rescue of Hawaii! A swarm moved into my compost bin overnight, and Péter was there the next morning to save the day. He was so friendly and took the time to explain the whole process to me while I watched him work--it was absolutely fascinating! He is professional, efficient, and clearly has a deep respect for bees. If you're looking for local resources to safely relocate a hive, this is the place to call! read more

Mahalo to the team at Honey Bee Rescue for coming through in a big way today. We had a massive swarm--easily 10,000 bees--take over the shop out of nowhere. I had never seen anything like that before. Jason handled the phone call and Peter showed up in less than 2 hours and went straight to work. I watched Peter carefully handle the bees for a few hours, was able to see the Queen, and watched as thousands of bees followed her into the transport hive. What an awesome experience. You could tell they really care about the bees and know what they're doing. Straight professionals, solid, humble, and easygoing. I really appreciated the genuine care and the exceptional service. Above all, they are clearly doing important work saving our bees - Respect Oh wait one more thing! Their honey is delicious read more

Early March, 2026, I noticed a return of bees who seemed to love our tile wall. In February, 2024, we had our first infestation and I had contacted Honey Bee Rescue. Jason was very courteous and did an excellent job saving the queen and the hive in a gentle eco-friendly manner. So, once again I contacted Honey Bee Rescue and I was not disappointed. Jason is very hard working, accomodated our schedule, was pleasant and professional, and saved the hive. In preserving the honey bee population which has been declining in the United States, I do not feel that the cost for the rescue is unreasonable and it is a vital environmental service. It was enjoyable to also have the opportunity to briefly talk with Peter on the phone and to meet Jason's wife, Mattie, who is a part of the Rescue team. I recommend them without reservation if you need to have your honey bees rescued. read more

A swarm of honey bees decided to start a hive in our mock orange hedge. With two granddaughters on their way to come visit, we were in desperate need to remove or relocate the bees. We called Honey Bee Rescue and within an hour, Peter and Renee were at our home. They calmly made the bees move into Peter's wooden box which allowed them transport the bees and their queen to Peter's bee farm. Our family highly recommends Honey Bee Rescue. They know so much and care so much about honey bees. Sharing of their knowledge made us understand and appreciate honey bees so much more. read more

Honey Bee Rescue - Lost hive - Pest Control Near Me

Our family was thoroughly impressed with Jason and Peter's professionalism, timeliness, and attention to detail in removing the bee hive. The bees created a hive inside a large pillar supporting our roof, requiring Jason & Peter to cut into one side of the pillar to expose the bees. Throughout the process, they took great care in extracting the bees and then expertly put back the side of the pillar that they initially removed. They communicated clearly and kept us informed every step of the way. I'd highly recommend them if you have a bee problem read more

Thank you Peter and Jason for removing and saving the bees who decided to take up residence in our roof/ceiling! This father and son team are the ones you want when it comes to any bee removal. And that's not just a catch phrase, I'm truly serious! Professional and down to earth who genuinely care for people, bees, and the environment. Much thought goes into the most safest and gentlest way to remove the bees. I learned soooo much about bees, their behavior, and even witnessed a drone (male) bee emerging from it's brood cell. Peter put him right on my finger! I'm not as afraid of them as before because I learned what to do around them. Amazing, amazing experience. For our future bee removals, we will only use Honey Bee Rescue from now on. Living in Maunawili, WE WILL have bees again! PROS: Non-poisonous bee removal. Trust, reasonable pricing, professionalism, bee education, very knowledgeable, and new friends! CONS: None. read more

Peter and his son, Jason are so knowledgeable about bees. Responded quickly. Set an appointment the next day. They came ready and on time. Very nice and friendly. Full of bee knowledge. Nice enough to share his bee wisdom with my family. We wanted to keep the bees, just remove them from the wooden barrel they made a home in. Peter and jason came with a bee box and helps us remove the bees. Harvest some honey. We were very surprised on how much honey they had made in a year. Peter and Jason are now our bee mentors. lol I definitely recommend this company for any honey bee issues you may have. Mahalo Peter and Jason read more

This father son duo are highly responsive, communicate well and fun too because when I asked if I could watch the massive bee hive removal behind a bedroom wall, they said they would let me use a bee suit to do that (sadly I never took them up on it). They identified the entry point, explained the process and follow up steps to take to remedy the situation. read more

Honey bees in a swarm about the size of a volleyball arrived yesterday around dusk - they took up on an old papaya tree stump in the front yard, overtaking an orchid plant. I requested a quote here on Yelp and Peter was the first to answer. We chatted briefly this morning about 9am and Peter said he could do the live relocation for free, just a small donation to cover gas and he would call before he came. How awesome is that!? Around 230, Peter called and said he would be on his way before traffic, but asked if the bees were still there... I thought it strange and walked out front but soon learned that if the Queen isn't happy with her new home, she'll only stay a day or two and move along taking everyone with her. Amazing! Peter is so pleasant and super easy to talk to, I enjoyed watching videos on his Instagram today lol he said if the swarm comes back or takes up at my neighbor, to give him a call and he'd bring some honey as a trade for the girls :) "Thank you for saving the bees, A-loha!" read more

Honey Bee Rescue and Peter is the guy to call! Peter was quick to answer and responded to our job site where he quickly diagnosed the situation, created a plan of action, and then got it done! Around 5,000 bees had quickly established a colony over the weekend, and Peter had the expertise to quickly get the colony removed and then relocate the bee's to thrive for our environment! Prices were darn reasonable, and 24 hours later, we are bee free! His professionalism and expertise is worth every penny and he makes sure that the bees are protected so that they can thrive! Five stars! Thanks for the great work!! read more

Peter is such a nice guy and took the time to explain to me the removal process and the areas around the house that would attract the bees to form a hive. The day he came the bees were swarming in and out of a hole near the carport. He used his thermo gun and saw activity behind the wall. Since it was pretty late and the next day a holiday we decided to arrange for the removal the following day. When he returned he noticed no activity and explained to me that maybe the bees were scouting and left the premises. To validate his assumption he sent a scope into the hole and said it was free of any bees or hive. So he plugged the holes with an expanding foam and said I was good to go.. I gave him water and money for lunch .. I'm truly thankful for what he did for me and would recommend him to anyone with a honey bee problem ..many thanks Stephen read more

After leaving our garage door open, as I usually do when I'm at home, we found what I call a swarm in our garage...30-40 honey bees. I was later told that these were scouts hunting for a new home (a swarm is much larger)...YIKES, NOT IN MY GARAGE! I panicked as I've never been stung and didn't want today to be any different. Anyway, I called a couple exterminators and was told they can't kill honey bees; find a beekeeper. I left messages for several and finally got a live person...Peter. He asked to send a picture but by then there were only a few left...weird. Peter explained that when the come back, it'll be a swarm...OMG! He explained that we need to patch any holes so they can't come in and gave me recipe for a bee repellent using natural ingredients. He advised that I spray the area they were scouting so they hopefully choose not to return. Knowledgeable, helpful and patient as he explained how to react in the presence of honeybees and the different ways the bees give us warnings before they sting/attack. While the education I received was very much appreciated, I'm still gonna avoid bees at all costs! Thanks, Peter for offering to help if they return tomorrow...I may have to take you up on your offer if they return. With gratitude~ Joni read more

Peter is the absolute kindest, personable, and empathetic individual I have met. He's reasonable, actually cares about the bees and makes sure to walk you through and include you in the process so you learn something. I even got to put on a bee suit and stand right next to them while the saved the bees! Highly recommend him every time!! read more

Needed bee removal from residential structure. The team was capable and knowledgeable about honey bees. They did a good job on removal of bees without causing harm to the little critters. Also, they sealed the bee entrance point. I was told up front that they do bee removal only - - they don't do carpentry or repairs. After getting stung a couple of times, I was very happy with their effective and humane bee removal. R. Miller. Kailua, Oahu. read more

I called on a Sunday to remove a nest in my front yard that bees were able to build in less than 24 hours. Within an hour or so Peter showed up in just a long sleeve shirt and shorts. He proceeded to sit with the bees and rummaged through them looking for the queen with just a protective mask. Awesome. He was able to find the queen, set up a box and at night he returned to pick up the box of bees. Very skillful, prompt and explained everything he was doing. It was a complete trip watching Peter work. Save the bees, call Honey Bee Rescue. read more

I manage various condominiums around the island and have an array of different contractors that I utilize. I have several plumbers I use, a drywall guy and now I have a Bee guy. Pete's response time was outstanding, I'm really not sure if I was just lucky but he was on-site in two shakes. Besides from his calm demeanor and likeable personality Pete cares and it truly shows. He enjoys dealing with bees and has the best interest of the customer as well as the bees in mind. My favorite part was that Pete educated everyone at my building who was present and interested in what he was doing. We all got a crash course on the bees. read more

Peter is the best! I had a bunch of bees crowding along the side of my house and they showed up out of nowhere! I called Honey Bee Rescue and Peter answered my call so quickly, and offered to come the day of, but they had already left my location area, so he offered to come the next day and check out my house. When Peter came, the bees were gone, but he informed me that they were scouts and likely to return. He told us to get plugs for our air vents to prevent bees from creating a hive in our attic. He was super helpful, attentive, and very kind upon meeting. If ever I have another bee encounter (hopefully I don't), Peter would definitely be my first call. read more

Peter answered the phone when I called to inquire about relocating a beehive that started from a crack between the fascia and roof. He met me the same morning, returned the following day with son Jason and they went to work trying to find the best way to access the hive. After cutting a hole in the ceiling drywall where the thermal meter showed activity, the hive was behind another 2x4, so they had to go outside, on a high ladder, cut the fascia and remove 13 combs those busy bees had built!! They replaced the drywall and fascia, filled the crack to deter bees from returning to roof and after recreating the hive in a bee box, they returned at night to relocate the bees and hive in the bee box to their apiary. Meanwhile my friends and neighbors who I invited to experience the event, learned a lot about bees from both Peter and Jason. Knowledgeable, personable, communicative, kind, hardworking and professional. We tasted some honey warm from the comb retrieved, bought jars of honey from their bees and enjoyed the entire experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Honey Bee Rescue without hesitation. Mahalo nui Peter and Jason! read more

Wonderful and quick service! I texted him this morning and he was over in a couple hours. Pete went above and beyond. He removed the bees from my monstera plant and even took the time to show my kids the 3 types of bees we had including the queen! We even got to watch the whole thing go down. On top of all that, just as he was about to leave, I showed him the bees in my neighbors tree a couple feet away and took care of them as well. The tree had a whole hive made and we got to sample some of the honey. All in all it was an awesome experience for both me and my children and I highly recommend you to call them for all your bee dilemmas! read more
