“I love that this is a small, family-owned business and the pride we take in being honest with our customers. Yes, we are here to make money, however treating people honestly is most important to us all and, of course, taking care of their issues.” – Missy
“I love working for a company that cares about their employees, the people they serve, and the environment!” – Shelly
“I love nature and bees are a fascinating part of nature as a whole.” – Sandor
“The ability to help so many people each day makes me happy. Many of our jobs are emergency situations with scared customers. I always do my very best to resolve our customers’ bee issues, helping them to feel safe and comfortable in their spaces again.” – Manoel
“I think it’s that our company roots are in the Dallas metro area and we’re like a ma and pa company. We’re not a corporation, we are very down-to-earth and set very realistic expectations of ourselves and our customers.” – Tristan
“We care about delivering quality service and we love bees.” – Joe
“We care about each customer and the honesty we have.” – Shelly

“Live removals are always the most challenging and at the same time the most rewarding. Not only do you have to try to find the queen in a swarm or hive mixed in with thousands of worker bees, but also make sure the bees are safely relocated. The process is long and tiring, but it is very rewarding.” – Joe
“In 2020, I was called out on a “beehive” in the ground in a back yard. I knew right away that it was not a bee hive. Since bees do not build deep into the ground, I knew it was Southern Yellow Jackets. What I was not aware of was just how big it was. The colony occupied an area of about 1.5 cubic yards under a tree. It used the root system as the support structure for the nest. I guesstimate the colony to have been at least 500,000 in strength and growing fast. The unhatched larva and brood were another 200,000 or so. So, the colony was growing fast. Only the second time in my life, I was a bit scared on the job.” – Sandor
“Providing a haven for the queen and her colony.” – Joe
“My work contributes to our ecosystem- by saving bees and relocating them to a new apiary.” – Manoel
“To better shape people’s perspective of bees by educating and demonstrating that bees are good, not scary. I love bees and we need the bees, plus I like to help people” – Tristan
“Once I removed a beehive from a large soda plant and the hive had blood-red honey.” – Jefferson
“One of my most memorable bee removals was a church in South Dallas. The pastor said the bees have been there for at least 17 years. The church hadn’t minded them being there until they started to sting the parishioners as they were approaching the main entrance. The bees had filled the 2nd story wall, floor to ceiling more than 8 feet wide.” – Sandor
“Our technicians treat other people’s houses as they treat their own. They go into the structure at the most precise location of their hive. Everything is put back how it was before they had bees so that no one knows anything was done. If a removal has to be done from the inside (we do not do drywall repairs), after all hive material is removed, cleaned, and sterilized, the technician covers the area until the sheetrock can be repaired. We don’t leave it exposed. This gives our customers peace of mind as well.” – Missy
“Most people think if they seal up a beehive entrance at night, while the bees are resting, the bees will die. The truth is, the bees will always find a way out, even if that means eating through the plugged hole. Bees have a food supply of several months and can take their time looking for a new entrance. They will always follow the light and find another way out usually through a light fixture or wall plug. We get calls every year from scared customers with bees pouring into their homes because they made this mistake.” – Sandor
