My story

I got into beekeeping because I’m fascinated by bees and want to learn by doing. I’m still building experience, but I’m careful, I ask for help when I need it, and I’m honest about what I can and can’t take on.

If you have bees that need collecting, I’ll come try to help. Every situation is a little different—tree height, how long they’ve been there, and how the bees behave all matter.

What I offer

  • Swarm collection and cut-outs when the setup is reasonable for my skill level
  • Bees rehomed into proper equipment when possible, so they have a fair chance to thrive
  • Clear communication about risk, timing, and what “success” looks like

I’m a hobby beekeeper, not a licensed pest-control company. If your situation needs a pro ladder crew, heavy demolition, or specialized removal, I will try and refer you to someone who can help.

How pricing works

I keep it simple: easy, friendly bees shouldn’t cost you much beyond what the job uses up. Hot or defensive bees take more time, gear, and sometimes a second pair of hands—so those jobs are priced differently.

Friendly, cooperative bees

If the bees are calm and the job is straightforward, I’ll try to collect them for the cost of materials—things like boxes, frames, foundation, fuel, and small expendables.

I’ll give you a rough materials estimate before we commit so there are no surprises.

Mean or difficult bees

If the bees are defensive, the site is awkward, or I need to bring backup for safety, I may charge for time as well as materials. That reflects the extra planning, people, and stress given bees can kill you quickly in a swarm.

We’ll talk it through before I show up so you know what to expect.
