We had two bee hive colonies stemming from a subfloor reaching all the way to the outside of the building. Assessment was quickly given and service done almost immediately. We were concerned with the actual bees, not wanting them hurt but they assured they would be taken care of and only moved. Very courteous and prompt service. read more

I was completely at a loss on what to do when I found a small group of bees had set up shop in my garden. I didn't want to kill them, so I found Keith's Bees on Yelp and they sent Tyler first thing the next morning. It only took him about 15 minutes to safely vacuum up the bees. I was told the queen and her bees will be relocated to Dripping Springs where they will continue to do what they do best, making mead, wax and honey. :) read more

If you have a bee problem call these guys first. Best service ever. Orkin sprayed some chemical and wouldn't give a guarantee. So of course the bees returned. Keith removed the bees and the hive. Great job. read more

Keith's Bee Service failed to extract bees in an oak tree I have on my property. His worker came out approximately 3 times within a year and on his final return this past September, his worker stirred up the bees and left. Shortly after his worker left around noon, my dog who was in an adjacent kennel was attacked by a swarm of bees and died. Not only did his worker fail to notify anyone at the house to remove the dog but he also failed to extract the bees as there were a large number swarming the area. My dog ingested approximately 30 bees during the attack. She suffered a horrible attack and began to bleed internally. My 84 year old mom was outside during the time the worker was treating the tree and also did not give her any warning to go inside. She went inside shortly prior to the dog being attacked. If my mother had been outside during the time the dog was attacked, she could have also been attacked and could have suffered the same fate. Per Keith, bees are a part of nature and what they do can't be controlled; yet, his website states he will remove and relocate the bees so no harm comes to you or the bees. His failure to remove the bees caused a beloved family pet to lose her life. I do not recommend this company for bee extraction. read more

Excellent service! Keith answered the phone and showed up when scheduled. He removed the bees from a tree trunk and guaranteed the job.

Tyler came out to help us and what valuable service he provided on behalf of Keith's Bee Service. He was punctual, respectful, kind, incredibly safe (came with hazmat bee suit) knowledgeable, and helped us understand the root of the problem. We had a paper wasp infestation around the house and despite bigger companies like Orkin, etc.. that came out before (and did not work at all) - He was efficient and dealt with our issue very quick, I think everything was done in less than 30 minutes. I love that it's a locally owned business - the service is top tier and so worth every penny. read more

This is a wonderful and honest business. I was all of a sudden seeing bees inside my home, and completely panicked (I have a tiny baby at home). I called Keith, who came out the next day, and while he couldn't find a hive, he had a suspicion of what was attracting them to my backyard (once I removed the thing, the bees went away, so he was right!) While there, he also checked around the home to make sure there weren't any places that were compromised and letting bees in. He was only at my home for a couple minutes, but I offered to pay him of course, since he still had to come out. He insisted that he was in the neighborhood so it was no big deal, and didn't take a dime. I will forever be loyal and will be recommending him to my neighbors. read more

We had a bee hive between the floors of our two story house which the bees had accessed from our deck. Tyler from Keith's came out promptly and took care of it, including cutting through the flooring on the second floor to remove the hive. He replaced the flooring and said the bees would be released in Drippings Springs. Highly recommend. read more

Need to write a mea culpa on this page - Keith called me today and between us we figured out there had been a gross misunderstanding on my part as to how to get in touch with him and what he was doing. And, I left the country the day after his service, and during my vacation, my house was invaded (not by anyone associated with his business!). So, am using that as an excuse for my reactive review. Keith has offered to return and figure out why the bees seem to love returning and fix the problem. thanks - Margaret J. read more

Any time we have used Keith's Bee Service, we always end up being satisfied! He is super safe, and makes sure not to harm the bees, and ensures their safety and relocation! Would HIGHLY recommend! read more

Thank you sir! Contacted for information last night and was able to come out and assist with our multiple wasps nests along our 2 story home. Didn't need to be there, as we were getting our old home packed up with movers...he gladly took care of all the nests and gave us a call to let us know it was done and charged the exact amount he quoted me prior to him going out there. Money well spent and our new home is now 28 nests less. So thankful for people like you! read more

Keith's Bee Service was able to eliminate the issue we were having with wasps. They responded quickly and resolved our issue. I would recommend! read more

Great company. Keith makes sure the job is done, and he won't stop until it's been done right! I appreciate the professionalism!

Had an emergency bee situation. Noticed bees buzzing around our bushes, and one day WHAM....a huge colony of bees was suddenly gathered under our porch (~20,000 bees per Keith's Bee Service). A little later that same day we had noticed the enormous colony suddenly appear, the bees decided to disperse and were flying and swarming covering our whole front yard. Terrifying sight! Called Keith's Bee Service, and they arrived promptly same day to resolve the issue. They were fast, efficient, effective, and friendly! Also very appreciative they preserve the bees, keeping them alive, but transport them to buzz elsewhere. Thank you so much Keith's Bee Service! read more

Extremely kind and nice. I needed some honey wasps for a project and Mr. Keith gave me a whole nest! Definitely a great person who wants to helps others! read more

After much research, I settled on this company to remove a large bee hive in the wall of my home - and am SO glad I did. The service was fast, efficient and thorough, I highly recommend Keith's Bee Service to anyone. Marianne Nichols read more

On May 12th 2019 my precious dogs were attached by killer bees. Also a friend was attached. I was devastated as my whole world was gone. I had no idea that I even had bees much less that I had aggressive bees. I called and called to get someone to come out and help me but no one return my call until I dialed Keith's phone number. Not only did he call me back but he came out the very next day. He and his wife were absolutely wonderful!!!!! They took care of the bees so fast I could not believe it. Once they were done there was not a bee in sight and they cleaned up after themselves as if they were never in my house. Keith and his wife were very understanding and Keith took an enormous amount of his precious time to explain about bees and why they attached my dogs and friend. I have never met two nicer people. read more

I have both used and recommended their services over the years and have been very pleased with the results. Their pricing is very reasonable and the were also prompt in their arrival. read more

Arrived promptly and helped us with a bee hive on an outside wall that had gotten in under the roof eave. Would recommend them any time!

Being a first time home owner, I made the mistake of not checking for wasp nests around the perimeter of the house. Before I knew it, there was a 6-inch nest inside one of the porch light fixtures. Keith came out, was very polite, and explained clearly what he was going to do. On top of removing the big nest and applying something to deter future nests, he even went around the entire house to remove all the developing small nests in those high hard to reach areas. The whole process was fast and smooth, done in 20 mins, and charges one flat rate. Highly recommended! read more

I made the mistake of having a screech owl nest box installed high up in an oak tree in our backyard almost 3 years ago. No owls occupied it, but a bee hive did, about 6 months ago. At first I thought I'd just leave it, naively thinking they were domestic honeybees (as you probably know, native honeybees are in serious decline, so I thought "cool, I'm helping the honeybees".) Then I talked to someone who said I should have a bee expert check the hive, because it was very likely the hive was hybridized with the very aggressive "Africanized" type of honeybee. I called Keith's Bee Service and talked to Keith, who said that yes, it was almost certain that the hive was hybridized (he said most in central Texas are, and that several people in Texas were killed by bee stings from these aggressive bees in the last year, so it is a real threat). He said Dirk from his company could come out the next morning (this morning). I explained that the nest box was *really* high up in a crooked oak tree and that the guy who installed it used a ladder and then started climbing the tree, and I was concerned that Dirk might not be able to get to the hive. Keith said they have pretty much the tallest extension ladders made, 28 feet. Dirk from Keith's Bee Service came out this morning right on time and used a laser light device to measure the distance from the ground to the hive, and said no problem, he didn't even need his tallest ladder. He donned a bee suit, put up the ladder and got the owl box and hive down in record time. He explained a lot about bees in the process which I did not know -- they are fascinating creatures. And he said that yes, this hive was definitely the aggressive type of bees -- he couldn't take his suit off for about 15 minutes because the bees (only the females sting -- didn't know that!) kept trying to sting him. They were hoppin' mad. Dirk said he would take the owl box with the honeycomb and bees in it (trapped in a container) to Keith's rescue apiary in Spicewood where they use a process to get the aggressive queen bee (which emits the pheremones that make the whole hive aggressive) out of the hive, then they replace her with a domestic queen, and the entire hive becomes a nice, calm bee hive. Amazing. Dirk said that Keith is the guy who is able to remove hives that other bee removal services say are too difficult to get out. He also does a lot of bee removal work for the City of Austin and is insured for $1 million, so you don't have to worry about him or one of his workers being injured on your property and suing you. And I thought his fee was very reasonable. I highly recommend Keith's Bee Service or any of his employees if you have a bee infestation! read more

You can stop searching! Keith's Bee Service is AMAZING!!!!! Two days ago when I tried to walk out of my front door I freaked out because there were HUNDREDS of bees swarming my entryway. I had to leave through the back just to make sure my kids were safe and that no bees entered the house. I called this morning around 10:30am and spoke to Keith. He was absolutely delightful and sent someone out here within the hour! Dirk showed up on time, was quick, incredibly nice and knowledgeable. Plus, I LOVE that they take the bees to a farm! THANK YOU!!! :-) read more

If you have a bee problem, call Keith! He communicated well, set expectations about when he would arrive, called in advance of arrival, showed up on time and quickly and efficiently took care of my bee problem. His price seemed very reasonable and I would not hesitate to call him again or refer him to others. I was very happy that he services the Bastrop area. Call Keith knowing that help is on the way! read more

Several years ago I had a man who wanted to collect bees to be taken to someone and he came and brought a wooden hive nest and he never came back after many calls. I was told by my tree company about Keith's Bee service and I gave him a call. The next day Keith came and took care of my bees. Looking out a window, I watched him dress in his white suit and removed the house and the bees! Keith and his helper were very professional and able to handle my problem! read more

Never thought I would be reviewing a Bee Service on Yelp, but Keith's Bee Service was TOP NOTCH. They arrived 1 hour after being called and successfully removed 10,000 bees from my wall. Extremely professional service at very reasonable rates. Would HIGHLY suggest using them. read more

My husband and I discovered a football-sized swarm of bees in our tree. We're big honeybee fans, so we didn't want to kill the hive. We would have left it, but we have dogs and there was a lot of bees fairly low to the ground in the middle of our backyard. We want bees around, but they didn't pick the best spot. In doing our research, we were excited to see that Keith relocates them to an apiary, so we gave him a call. Keith came out the next day, he was reasonably priced, and was really professional. We will definitely call him again if we notice some bees that haven't picked a great spot to nest. As he told my husband when confirming that he relocates the bees, "Yeah.. corn would get real old real quick." read more

Excellent. Great price. Great communication. Great service. If anyone, including myself, has a bee issue I will always recommend Keith and only Keith. read more

Great service, professional, accurate, pontual, polite! Keith even gave me a lesson on bees!

Never imagined I would have a bee hive in my house! Service was educational and fast. He even sent us a video which was really cool.

What a nightmare to discover you have a beehive in your crete myrtle. Keith responded right away, was able to get me in same day and I didn't even have to be home for him to remove it. The best part, he locked the gate behind me. read more

Keith is the man! He has helped me remove several skunks out from living under my house. He is an excellent and quick communicator and always very prompt to come out and help my family. I would recommend Keith for any kind of pest removal, I am sure he does great with Bees as well! read more

Your service is Awesome!!! I lucked on to you because your ad says, "always answers the phone," which is so important to me in this verbally challenged world! Dirk was Amazing!! His knowledge of bees, and willingness to answer my questions about them, was over and above the best customer service! The bees and honey combs were removed and transferred to a farm to preserve them. There were no sign of bees the next day! Thank you Keith's Bee Service, for the removal from my home, and the preservation of honey bees, which are vital to our ecosystem and humanity!! read more

Highly recommended. Professional and efficient. My story: discovered large numbers of bees flying in under the eaves of the house one afternoon. Called Keith's Bee Service in early morning, and they were on the job in early afternoon. Quickly removed a good-sized hive (they said it had been there for 2+ years), covered up their hole in the soffit with a vent cover, left me with a one-year guarantee, and charged a reasonable fee. read more

Hired Keith to get rid of a crazy amount of bees that had setup shop in an odd part of my roof/attic. He got them all removed safely and didn't harm the bees. We were very happy and honestly couldn't believe how many bees were up there. Would definitely recommended for anyone's bee needs. Thanks Keith! read more

Great service! Keith was professional and took his time, finding multiple nests. HIGHLY recommend!!

He expertly diagnosed and dealt with a wasp nest in our wall without damaging the drywall one bit! And when I later discovered a second entrance that had been missed the first time, be quickly revisited and polished off the nest. I wholeheartedly recommend him for anyone with bee or wasp trouble! read more

After contacting another bee removal "expert", I was fortunate enough to call Keith's Bee Service to see about getting a hive removed from my house. The first company told me that the hive was in my wall and they would have to tear out the wall inside the house to remove the bees at a considerable cost, not to mention the damage to my inside walls. Keith was smart enough to know that most newer homes have insulation in the walls making it impossible for bee's to form a hive there. He correctly identified an eave where the bee's resided and removed them at about half the cost the other company wanted to needlessly wreck my house to find there were no bee's in the wall. Keith can tell you all or more than you want to know about bee's. He is truely engaged in his profession and will show up when he says he will. I would definately recommend him to anyone with a bee problem. read more

Very extremely dissatisfied. They came out, removed the bees from the wall, and were gone in 30 minutes. That was great. The next day I noticed that there was a huge swarm in the tree by the side of the house. So I took a picture, sent it, and called Keith back. He said they would leave in 10-14 days. They didn't. He said the bees must be from a different swarm? Oh, the new ones parked about 3 ft from the old one? The bees then started going into a section of the wall about 3 ft from their original home. Couldn't get anyone to come back so there was a swarm with a huge hive IN the tree and IN the house! I had to go take care of it myself. Beware the 1 yr warranty. read more

If you have a bee issue, call Keith. I am so glad I stumbled upon his company after reading yelp reviews. My husband, my 6 year old and myself had been attacked and stung by bees on three different occasions in the past one month or so. After my son was stung three times on his head, I submitted the online form on a SUNDAY EVENING and Keith called me about 10 minutes after I hit submit. They came out, found the very well-hidden hive in a tree and took care of it. They even sent me pictures to show my kids, and left the honeycomb! I couldn't be happier with the service and would highly recommend them. read more
