After being completely ripped off and over charged by another company in the valley I still had a reoccurring bee issue. I called bee keeper at 4:30 Sunday evening. 6:00 pm Russ was standing at my door. He was professional and explained exactly what he was going to do and how he would do it. His service was exceptional! I would highly recommend bee keeper. Top notch service at a competitive price. read more

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). read more

They were very easy to work with scheduling an appt. Kevin was very punctual! Kevin was personable and efficiently dispatched our bee issue. Was very pleased that there weren't any surprise charges added after he was onsite...the quote given over the phone was the price I paid. Would recommend and use again next bee season! read more

There are few things that are creepier than hearing BEES inside the walls of your own house. Rather scary, too. For the last month, my wife and I have struggled with a swarm that is highly attracted to a certain area of our house. We fortunately found the Beekeeper via Google.com, and James T came out the same night and treated the area to push the bees off of our home. What we thought was a little problem was actually a rather large infestation! Thousands of bees were in our walls! Scary to think what would have happened had the bees been left to their own devices for a longer period of time. Cut to a month later, because bees have memory, they came back to the very same spot. Russ W from the Beekeeper came back as well and BOY did he give us an education on bees! I swear, a documentarian should follow Russ W around for a while and film him on his adventures. I've never met a man more excited and knowledgeable about his job. Russ W is a very soft-spoken man, and even while the chaos of buzzing bees surrounded us, he was cooler than the other side of the pillow, explaining what was going on, what he was going to do, how he was going to treat the area of our house, etc. Russ W re-treated the area, and armed us with some priceless knowledge about the type of infestation we were seeing (it was scouts, not a hive or honeycomb, thank goodness). The most surprising thing about working with the Beekeeper: Because we had called the Beekeeper the first time, this second visit was covered under their 90-day warranty. I've heard horror stories of bee control companies gouging clients left and right and never fully solving the issue. That was NOT the case with the Beekeeper! They solved our dilemma and were true to their word about the treatment we'd receive. I honestly could not be happier with their service, friendliness, understanding, professional (and very calm) demeanor and their timeliness (each time we called, the Beekeeper had either James T or Russ W at our house within the hour! Talk about service!!). My wife and I are forever grateful of James, Russ W and the Beekeeper and would highly recommend their services for ANYONE in need of bee control. - Benjamin L. read more

I discovered a bee swarm on a tree in my yard, so I gave these guys a call in the evening. They said they would send someone out between 7-8 AM the next morning. James arrived at my house at 7 AM sharp, and had everything taken care of quickly (removal of the swarm and spraying problematic areas on the house). He was professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable about bees. I would definitely use these guys again. read more

Needless to say I had a serious cockroach problem. I contacted Beekeeper and they came out. I had honey in my walls that had to be removed. Dan came out, he was very professional and very thorough removing every bit of honey. Its cost over a grand!!! Pretty expensive but the job got done. The pest control came out a week later and saw there was still honey, I called Dan right away and he came out to assess the situation. Of course it cost MORE money which sucked because I thought the work was warranted but I finally got the cockroach problem rectified so I'm happy. He sanitized and cleared out all the dead cockroaches in that area. He patched up the walls so well I couldn't tell where he cut the walls open. Thanks Dan! read more

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! read more

I had a colony of bees in my tree estimated to be 90,000 bees. I wanted to have the colony relocated (yes I am an old hippie), but the colony was too large, too much honeycomb and with the current heat the colony could not be relocated. After consulting a couple of exterminators I called the Beekeeper. The sent out Russ W. who did an excellent job educating me about the colony, the risk to neighbors and pets, etc. He did a quick and efficient job eliminating the colony and explaining the residual effects to expect. He then showed me photos of he and his 11 year old daughter actually relocating colonies when possible. All in all I highly recommend Russ W. for any bee issues you may have. He is a very nice and very capable person. I felt the price was reasonable for the service rendered. read more

Cody Paradise was great. They were fast, fair and most of all humane. He was super knowledgeable and could answer all my questions. Fast efficient affordable. I would use them again and refer them to anyone. read more

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. read more

When I started seeing dead bees every morning in my workout room above our garage, I knew there was a problem. I called my regular pest control company, Preventive, and they promptly sent out a tech to check it out. Unfortunately the issue appeared to be beyond their expertise - give them a scorpion and they can handle it, a bee infestation needed a specialist! They referred me to The Beekeeper. I was pleasantly surprised when I called them up and was told "I can have someone there in an hour." What?! And, true to their word, Carlos showed up right on time! Carlos Maldonado is prompt, courteous, professional, and extremely knowledgeable! he took one look at the issue and knew how the bees were getting inside plus advised me on what he could do to resolve the issue. Unfortunately the bees had established a hive inside the wall and we could either have it removed or simply have the bees killed then deal with honey seeping down the inside of the wall. I could only imagine the additional issues that would cause! (ants, mice, etc..). We opted to have him cut open the wall and remove the hive completely. So Carlos said he could be out the next day to cut open the wall, remove the hive and repair the wall back to its original condition. We scheduled the removal and he arrived on time, removed the bees - there was a huge honeycomb with about 10pounds of honey in the wall! (Money well spent, I say!) Carlos repaired the wall and - I dont think painting is a regular thing, but we happened to have matching paint so he even painted the wall again. Then - unlike any other worker we have had come out to our house (which is quite a lot since our home is needing a lot of TLC) - he even cleaned up after himself really well! even spot vacuumed where he had tracked some dirt in. wow! I can't say enough of how impressed we were with the work, the professionalism, and the timeliness. Will definitely use The Beekeeper again when/if we have a bee issue. Thank you Carlos!! read more

We noticed bees flying in and out of a gap in our roof. Called The Beekeeper, talked to Chris, and he had Scott come out the next morning. He was fantastic - explained everything, treated the situation quickly and gave us information for follow up. When we had a small cluster of bees lingering in a new location a few days later, he came out and took care of that immediately as well. These guys are great and we'd recommend them, especially Scott, to anyone with a bee problem. read more

Saw about eight dead bees in my gas fireplace. Started worrying about a potential hive and honeycomb being up there, so looked for bee control company using Yelp. The BeeKeeper stood out with all glowing reviews. I was able to easily schedule an appointment that worked for me. The time window I was given was 10 am to noon. James arrived shortly before 10 am. He is a very pleasant individual with extensive knowledge about bees and wildlife. He identified my bees as only one being a honeybee and the others some other kind, so not too worrisome. But I don't want bees of any kind, and then I saw wasps flying into my recessed lights on patio, so I asked to have house treated. For $165, James walked the roof looking for any bee activity, sprayed repellant at fireplace vent, and sprayed wasp killer and repellant in light fixtures. He even informed me of a small gash in my foam roof so I could get it repaired! Peace of mind and newfound bee knowledge was definitely worth the price! read more

I had a bee problem and spoke to Jerry at Bee Keeper. After a brief conversation, he dispatched someone in a couple of hours to take care of my bee issue. The entire experience with Bee Keeper was great- from the initial conversation, resolving the issue, and closing out the invoice. Highly recommend this company! read more

Neighbor knocks on my door... "sooooo... i saw a ball of bees on the side of your house earlier, but now they're gone. I think they went into your block wall..." I have immediate catastrophic shock... i glance to the sky and and notice a cloud in the shape of a hand with the middle finger exteded, flipping me off.... i think... "it's gonna be one of those days eh?"... I literally thought... ok... wall has to come down (block home)... gotta get the bee guy to come, get the bees out...then we gotta rebuild the wall, hell we might as well paint the house while we're doing this.. i could take out a loan to take care of this, or maybe sell one of the cars... or maybe a kid!... After a minor freak out, I yelped beekeepers and found THE BEEKEEPER... called and told them my problem, they said they would be out to my house within the hour.... and they were. 40 minutes later, a keeper of the bees knocks on my door... i open my door... he says, "Hi, I'm Marino... " he was very professional and was very confident that this was a minor problem...very Robert Shaw of him (the old boat captain from the hit movie "Jaws")... so much that he walked up to the bee hole and knocked on it... later he described, that he was trying to diagnose their behavior to see how long they had been there... (a guy who knows bee behavior is the guy you want for the job... right?!)... long story short, he says... "this is nothing ill take care of it right away... "... i ask... how much? Lets just say i didn't take out a loan, sell a car, or a child... it was more than reasonable! Less than $200 to take care of me and my family... I loved the service these guys provided! It was done quick, cheap, and freak out free!... and its warrantied work! This time when I looked to the sky... it was I who extended the middle finger to the cloud... not today cloud... not today... Marino is here! Next time you have a ball of bees that crawls into your wall call these guys, and I hope you are lucky enough to get MARINO!!! You da MAN Marino! In all seriousness... My home is currently bee ball free and my family is safe! This company was incredibly professional, punctual, and efficient at doing what most fear to do! Couldn't be happier with a business... Thanks guys! read more

Russ Rocks! So i walked out my back door today to see a wasp building a nest right outside my door. Called the BeeKeeper and they sent Russ out within the hour. He was very professional and explained what type of wasp, how they nest, things to look for in future, etc. Appreciated the polite and speedy service! read more

I had a pretty bad wasp problem and my back yard was totally unusable and felt unsafe. I had tried every natural trap that money can buy and any that one human can make and they still wouldn't leave. I called this morning, they were out within one hour. Marino was wonderful and I highly suggest hiring this company. I can now be in my yard, a neat was removed and it's safe for my animals. I'm happy I called this morning! It takes a lot for me to take the time to write a review, but they exceeded my expectations, which is difficult to do. :) read more

These guys are awesome! Had to call them after another company really messed things up. Excellent service all the way from the first call till everything is done. It's getting harder and harder to find honest quality work but these guys provide it! read more

Scott came out within 45 mins on a Sunday to take care of our beeswarm. Courteous, knowledgeable and professional. Great job and highly recommended! read more

Jake came out early and removed a bee colony near our house in a block wall. He was very courteous and professional.

I'm knocking off two stars because although they showed up promptly and were friendly and professional when dealing with our bee problem in our case it seemed to be a bit of a bait & switch. We had a pile of bees that had invaded our irrigation valve control boxes. As a buddhist-when-convenient inundated with science news about colony collapse disorder my first inclination was to move the bees as opposed to exterminating them (a risky proposition since they were almost certainly africanized). We looked into a number of live bee removal companies and settled on this one since they appeared to offer live bee removal for around $155, about half the price of what I was quoted from another beekeeper in the valley who offers live removal, maintains hives in the desert, and sells the honey from them (Dan Punch). The buddhist-when-not-convenient side of me regrets that decision. After arriving at our house about 45 mins from the dispatch call the first thing the beekeeper mentioned was that they wouldn't be able to move the bees under certain conditions (if extensive honeycomb was present IIRC). He then promptly demolished and exterminated the hives in the boxes in about 10 minutes. Live removal of bees is a much more involved process and I can certainly see why they prefer to exterminate, but I wish they'd been more up front about their preconditions for live bee removal. Instead, it seems to me that they offer live bee removal for an attractive price with preconditions that almost always result in extermination. Otherwise I would have compared them to extermination companies who charge half as much to just exterminate bees. read more

When I told the guy on the phone I was shopping he told me to be sure to check with BBB as their are a lot of scams in this field. I told him I was searching Yelp. I could almost hear his nod of cynicism. Obviously old school guy but top notch service! After I gave him my address he said 'what unit number' not an average response when I give my address. Turns out this company has a contract with my hoa. He (had better luck than I did) reached them and had someone out to take care of the problem within a couple of hours! read more

We had bees swarming under the eves of our house. The first company we called, Mountain View Pest Control, charged us $395 and did essentially nothing. The bees never left and now the company won't return our calls. My bad for not researching them. If I had I would have found their rightfully deserved negative reviews and discovered that they are not BBB accredited. I called The Beekeeper next. Marde-Sue came out, took a look, put on her protective suit and went to work. In less than 15 minutes she was done. She then took the time to explain what she'd done and what I could expect. The bees are now gone. Marde effectively eradicated the problem and it cost me less than $200. I can see why The Beekeeper is BBB accredited with an A+ rating. Thanks, Marde-Sue, for coming to the rescue! read more

Nick came out and took care of a bunch of bees that settled in my exterior wall. He gave me an honest assessment regarding the costs and pros and cons of leaving the honeycomb in the wall. I ended up not removing the honeycomb as he said it wasn't bad enough to warrant a $1,100 expense to remove and patch and paint the wall. read more

Quick efficient service. The tech was here in less than an hour and removed the swarm.

Kevin arrived about an hour after we called (on a Sunday morning!) and a large swarm was gone in 15 minutes. Very courteous and professional. They saved/removed as many as they could. Cost was reasonable. Highly recommended! read more

Fantastic experience with The Beekeeper and Marino specifically. Explained the bees situation, removal options, next steps, etc. In and out in 1 hour with 40 pounds of hive. Couldn't recommend anyone more. Thanks! read more

Paid $155 for extermination in a block wall, all said and done in about 15 minutes.

Russ W came out to our home 7-28-15 to take care of two hives we've had in our backyard for over a year (because I was hesitant to kill the bees). We are getting ready to sell our home, so the bees had to go. I called that Tuesday afternoon to schedule an appointment and Russ came early in the evening the same day. He looked at our issue, said it'd be no problem to handle the job and then quoted me $200 LESS than a different company who said it would take two guys to manage our problem. Once I agreed to the cost, Russ suited up and took care of the bees in less than 5 minutes. He was incredibly thorough about his process, what we could expect, how to fix our wall after the hives died and guaranteed his work. Bees were gone in the time frame he estimated. LOVE THE BEEKEEPER. Would not hesitate to use them again. read more

Our contractor found a large beehive at one of our properties on a Friday afternoon. Nick arrived in just a couple of hours and took care of the problem. I hired Nick/Beekeeper to remove two wasp nests from another property just a couple of days later. I would definitely hire them again! read more

I had a bee problem recently, and after searching for the 'right' company to handle the bees, I chose The Beekeeper. I was very happy with their professionalism and the handling of the. Sterling, my Bee Guy, was VERY knowledgeable about bees and said his family had started this bee company, and he kept bees as a hobby. I had bees in a concrete wall surrounding my home. They had been there about 2 years. Sterling didn't use 'scare tactics' like the other company I called, and was very up front about exterminating the bees and leaving the hive in the wall, and sealing the wall. I chose to leave the hive in the wall because of the cost, and Sterling said most people do this and don't have a problem. The other company I called (that used the scare tactics) wanted to charge me $395 (a special that day - normally $595!!) to exterminate the bees, and at least $500 - $1200 to take the hive out of the wall. They said I HAD to take it out of the wall or would forever be plagued with problems. I expected to possibly see some melting honey at the base of the wall, but so far - nothing! It has been about 4 days since the bees were exterminated. The Beekeeper Company was here on time, explained what they were going to do, answered all my questions, and gave me a 3 month warranty. They charged me $195 total. I thought that was very reasonable. Consider me a happy customer. read more

I had 100's of bees around my fountain for several weeks. Called this morning at 8:30 Fernando arrived at 10:15 assessed the problem, sprayed fountain and assured me hive in not on my property. Fee was reasonable, guaranteed for 3 months. Should be enough time for them to locate another water source. I'll keep my fountain off for awhile : (. Great service and knowledgeable technician. read more

I called at 11:47 am today. I saw a swarm of bees on my house at 7am. I gave it a couple of hours hoping the swarm would leave but they stuck around. I was quoted that the beekeeper could arrive by 2pm. It felt like hours away since this swarm was stressing me out! James T, the beekeeper, arrived around 1. I was so thankful that he was prompt and courteous. His professional attitude put me at ease. By 1:35 the bees were removed. The price was inline with what I saw other sites posted. It was a basic removal. They also have a 90 day guarantee. read more

Called and I think I talked to the owner. He was very pleasant to talk with and professional. Had a technician at the house within 15 minutes which I really appreciate. I called around for a couple times for quotes and their prices were competitive. read more

I arrived home at the end of the day to discover a swarm of bees on a rock in my front yard. They covered about a square foot of the rock, and some were swarming near it. I did an internet search, called a few numbers, and landed the Beekeeper Total Bee Control. Kevin came out within the hour, sprayed the bees, cleaned them up, in no time the bees were gone. I would highly recommend them read more

James is the "cando" man because he solved a nasty problem on the first call and in very little time. Our home had a very active bee mess and James carefully explained what was happening, how he would eliminate the bees, and then check to make sure there was no damage. And he explained why it would work. My wife and I are grateful for the fast and complete service, delivered at a reasonable price. Thank you James. read more

We found a bunch of bees swarming in our bathroom one morning last weekend, and noticed that many more were on the outside of our house. The Beekeeper came promptly on a Sunday, and told us that the bees did NOT have a hive in our house and would likely be gone in a day. He was right, and didn't charge us anything for this advice. Very grateful! Wonderful service! read more

Very Professional and Conscientious. When I called, someone answered the phone right away. I asked if someone could be there the next morning and we originally arranged a time between 8AM & 10AM. Then a few minutes later, I got a call asking me if I was available the same day as the call. Instead, we arranged for James to arrive at 7AM. When he arrived on time, we discussed that I hoped to gat some of the honey, but sadly it wasn't meant to be. The moment James tried to block part of the hive entrance, the bees immediately swarmed and attacked. So James had to spray pesticide into the entrance and that killed the bees and poisoned the honey. He had to open up a portion of my retaining wall, but left the area tidy and clean. Because of the type of work, James wasn't able to repair the wall, but did put down odorless pesticide to discourage a new bee hive. He also recommended that I have the expansion gap opening covered with masonry to also keep the bees out, because bees can chew threw foam sealant. Their service was exemplary! Thank you, James and "The Bee Keeper", great work! read more

The Beekeeper Total Bee Control - Beehive removed from my retaining wall. James couldn't do the repair work, but left the area clean and tidy. Great Work and punctual! - Pest Control Near Me

My wife was extremely happy with Nick. We called earlier today and they came out in a few hours. We had bees in our house and thought they were up in our attic. There was a big honeycomb in our chimney. He explained thoroughly what he saw and gave us an accurate estimate for removal and repair. He even gave us pictures as we couldn't see it from the ground (2 story house). If you need bee removal or just some advice, these guys rock. We'd highly recommend Nick! read more

We have had bees coming into our home through the chimney the past couple years. We have used The Beekeeper both times and the most recent time was with Russ. I really don't like to kill bees if we don't have to. We were very appreciative of his inspection and putting our minds at ease concerning the bees. He informed us they were simply scouting at this point and was able to guard the chimney so no further bees would come in. A great solution to keep them outside but also not kill them. He also gave us tips for monitoring so we know if the problem progresses so we can contact them for further action. He was very thorough and super helpful. Thank you! read more
