I am an enthusiastic backyard hobby beekeeper. 

I am not a commercial operation and will never be.  In short, I do the bee thing to have fun and to try to do my small part to help keep the bees buzzing….. not to mention the delicious sweet honey!!  

If you have any comments/questions,  or information that you want to share about bee activity on my website, contact me with the email below.

If asking about a hive removal, remember that live removal involves getting at the hive to remove all the bee comb and all the bees. Every situation is different. If you can, give me some more details about the hive, such as street address, hive location (in tree, how high), in a street water meter, etc, is there an electrical outlet available, etc. A couple pictures would help a lot (maybe one of the actual hive and one backed off a ways to show access, etc) and then I can probably tell you exactly what I am able to do for you or forward your information on to other area beekeepers that may be able to help. 

I only do live honey bee removals as licensed by the state of Florida (FL0110610B).  Expect a quick email reply to any message left, so be sure to monitor your email box.
