Oakley Live Honey Bee Removal

We are very pleased with the bee removal. Sam quoted us over the phone and stuck to his bid. he and his son work together and are absolutely decent and professional people. they brought the 40 foot ladder and pried open the eave to the roof and removed the bees. they take the bees to their farm. they returned in one week and hammered the eave back together, calked, and repainted. looks fine now. they did what they said, when they said, and were very competent. highly recommend them.

Found some bees swarming around the large bush covering our water meter, cable boxes, and electrical box in the front yard. Called around to different companies I found online to price compare and Randy offered one reasonable price for the problem I described. Other companies (like Keith’s Bee Removal, which seemed popular on Unilocal,said it would be a certain price if the bees were in the water meter, and a higher price if they were elsewhere in the bush…). Plus Randy answered his phone right away: I was sent to many voicemails with other companies that didn’t call back, or wanted $ 50 more for the job, and one company I was talking with: their phone disconnected in the middle of our conversation and I never heard back from them after calling back and texting.
When I asked about Randy’s time frame, he said the best time to come would be in the evening when the majority of the bees would be returning to the hive, and told us he come out the following evening. (Keith’s Bee Removal offered me a 3pm slot…) I was impressed with his knowledge and reasoning and asked if he’d match prices, which Randy agreed to do. He came 15 minutes before his appointment, which in my book, is on time. Took him about an hour to get the job done, and Keith extracted 10 honeycombs! out of our water meter. My husband I were shocked. Keith estimated the beehive had been there about 2 months. Keith even gave us a bottle of 100% pure local honey and a business card — saying he thought the honey would make a greater impact and he gives them to all of his customers. My husband and I were so impressed with his customer service — and officially won us over with the honey bottle. Plus Keith was pretty nice and patient about my husband watching the whole ordeal and asking a ton of questions (my husband was fascinated).
Took a credit card, wrote us an official and professional receipt, and now we are all looking forward to using honey for our morning breakfast tomorrow.
Would TOTALLY recommend this company. Local family, 3^rd generation keeping the company strong. Professional, on-​time, experienced, and Randy is even coming back in a week to check on the hive making sure all is clear. There is also a 30-​day guarantee, but seeing as he physically removed all the honeycombs, and vacuumed out the bees, I don’t anticipate any more bee problems.
