Keith’s Bee Service

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.

I’d give 10 Stars if I could! Keith was communicative and they had someone out the morning after we called. We appreciated that they relocated the bees and didn’t kill them all. Tyler went above and beyond to help us with our exceptionally troublesome and difficult bee situation. Top notch. Could not have asked for better, more honest or knowledgable service. Thank you Keith and Tyler!!!

Highly recommended!!! Super affordable, very knowledgeable and professional.

They arrived on time, gave me great information and promptly removed my africanized bee colony. Tyler was the name of the fellow they sent… can’t say enough nice things about him. I recommend Keith’s Bee Service.

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!

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.

Keith is awesome, I called him out to investigate some wasps that I kept seeing inside my house by the window. I had saved all the dead wasps for him to examine. He spent some time closely looking at each bug to make sure it wasn’t a yellow jacket. Also he did a thorough walk around of my property trying to determine where they were coming from. We eventually discovered that they were not coming from inside my wall as I originally thought but rather the chimney which I would have never guessed. It’s clear in talking to him that he knows a lot about bees and wasps. He also didn’t charge me since I only ended up needing the chimney sprayed rather than the whole property. Since he sprayed recently I have not seen any bees inside the window. Would highly recommend Keith.

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.»

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!

Professional, affordable, and very helpful. We hope we never have to have another GIANT beehive removed from our home, but if we do, we’ll definitely use their services again.

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!

Keith responded on the same day that I called him and removed the bee hive from inside of my attic (they built a hive by entering through the eave). He had to cut a hole in the eave, but covered it with a vent and even painted it for me! If I have any future encounters with bees, Keith will get the call.

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.

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!

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!!! :-)

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.

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!

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!

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

Came out next day (a saturday). Was quick, efficient, entertaining & educational!
Thanks Eric!
