It was not easy to find a reliable company that would save the bees that had set up a colony on my property. Unfortunately, Angie's List does not have a separate listing for beekeepers or environmentally sound bee removal. I found this company listed under Pest Control, which pretty much means killing the bees. I know how important it is to save the bees, so it was worth searching for it. Before this, I only chose A rated companies, but there were enough good reviews of Eco Bee Removal for me to call the owner. We had a good discussion about what needed to be done and how they would do it. I emailed a photo of the 3' x 3' x 3' container that the bees had taken over, and he gave me an estimate of the cost and what factors would determine the final cost, so I set up an appointment. His two sons arrived early, but luckily I did, too. Several hours later the bees were carefully vacuumed up and put in containers for their trip to their new territory. They removed the hive and took that with them to put out for the colony to populate there. The bill was within the estimate and in accord with the guidelines that had been discussed. I do not really know if this actually an "excellent" price, but I am satisfied with the price for the work done. All of my questions were answered before the sons left, and I knew just what to expect concerning the few bees that remained.

"Thank you for choosing live bee removal. I have not advertised with Angies list for the reasons you stated, they want to put me with pest control companies and I only do live removal. Maybe you could contact Angies and tell them to support Live bee removal. Blessings, Steve"

John Harrison was the bee removal expert and he did a great job rescuing the hive to take it to an apiary. He climbed from the roof to the tree on a ladder, carefully cut away smaller branches and removed the hive intact. He educated us on the service and bee behavior during and after the hive removal and made sure we were safe. Great work and great way to save the bees.

"John is a great guy and we are very proud of him as a part of our team. He loves to save bees and has a great relationship with beekeepers often going over their house late in the evening after to work to make sure the bees get a new home. Thanks for using Eco Bee, blessings, Steve"

They arrived on time and had the job done within a couple of hours. I got some pictures of the bee hive they found (and relocated) along with the resident bees. He was extremely professional and described what was to be done and what was doe as well as what to expect in the following days. I have a few bees still in the area but it appears that the hive and swarm are gone. The fee was on the low end of the potential costs and the bees were relocated rather than exterminated, so we were very happy with the results.

"Thank you for your kind review. Again and again we find out that our prices are a value and that makes us feel good. Of course its never fun having to put out money for something like this but at least you have a warranty and the bees were saved. Thanks for saving the bees and using Eco Bee! -Steve"

"Untrue completely. Unusual 3 story house over water, no access.We were hired to remove ONE hive with agreement that High lift equipment be on site and ready. When we arrived the equipment was not ready we had to move huge, heavy equipment with our bodies across shrubs, rocks and planters, painful and difficult, so yes, I was not too happy but there is more. Then there was not ONE but TWO colonies and she knew that there were two. We removed the one we were hired for perfectly but the other was in a third story roof/wall not reachable by the equipment because of the water. It required an exterminator and we don't kill bees. The colony we removed was removed alive and expertly. We removed ALL of it and she paid us ALL what we quoted not HALF and we did not even charge her for moving the equipment. There were two colonies rather than one, completely different locations (by 30 ft) and suggesting I did half a job is flat out false and she knows better. This is only one of two colonies in my career we could not reach or help with. Look at my reviews and I will trust you to make your own conclusions Ecobeeremoval.com "Save bees and bee blessed!""

It went very well. They were always on time and very neat. Any time I would call with a question they would respond in a timely and professional manner.

"Thanks for the review but we relocate Honeybees and do nothing with windows. Angies list needs a better system for reviews"

Poorly. He did not remove the entire hive leaving a disaster. I do not believe he was properly licensed. The Department of Agriculture should enforce and/or have stricter licensing regulations to insure that pest control companies and bee removal companies do their jobs properly.

Steve came to look at thew job. The beehive was approximately 35 feet high in an oak tree near the end of a limb. He determined that we would need a 40 foot lift. I agreed to provide one. He called back a few days later that he could come by that afternoon. I got the lift, he came by with his son Sam, they went up in the lift and removed the bee hive without the bees swarming. He said they would relocate the hive in woods near his place.
