Description


Scott The Bee Man is your live bee removal specialist. Live bee removal is all I do.

HISTORY


Established in 1980.
Scott has been saving bees for decades. Since the introduction of Africanized Honey Bees the U.S. around 1995 there has been a significant departure of traditional beekeepers. Years ago if you had a swarm of bees you could call the local farmer and he would come over and collect them. Sadly the Africanized bees have replaced the farmer with the exterminator and millions of bees are killed in Maricopa county every season. Exterminating bees on your property insures you will be invaded by wax moths and returning bees within the year. Save money, save time and save bees. ScottTheBeeMan.com 480-710-5637

ABOUT BUSINESS OWNER


Scott is a professional bee re-locator and sideline beekeeper. This industry is flooded with exterminators impersonating beekeepers. Yes, they have bee suits and advertise "safe" or even "live" removal but just to be clear: I remove bees and re-locate them into a managed hive. No excuses or selling "killer bee" fear. I am a beekeeper not an exterminator!

We had bees around our porch roof for a week and stumbled upon Scott's number. He answered immediately and after explaining what we saw, I sent photos and videos. Definitely a hive, we just couldn't see it. Scott came over the next day and did the bee removal. He had to cut into a small section of drywall and there was a massive hive! He sent pictures of the hive and honeycomb that came from it. It was very cool to see! We'll be calling Scott if we ever have bee problems again!

I had a swarm of bees in my tree for a good three days. I contacted Scott The Bee Man because I was nervous about the bees because of my kids and my neighbors. He guided me though the process after I sent him pictures and advised me to give it some time and they would leave on their own. Sure enough, the swarm is gone after a couple of days. Definitely would recommend!?

Bees had infiltrated the eaves of my home and built their hive. In a matter of days I had hundreds of bees in my backyard.
I contacted Scott and he was very responsive. I explained the situation and forwarded photos of my home and the bees for his review. He was at my home the next morning at which time he humanely removed the Queen, the hive and the bees.
I'm very grateful to him. I'm very happy to have averted extensive damage to my home.
I highly recommend his services.

I cannot recommend Scott highly enough.  Professional, thorough, clearly an expert in his field.  He honored his very reasonable quote even when it turned out our bee situation was far worse then could have been imagined.  I miss professionals like this who have integrity and work hard and have values.  He went above and beyond for us in multiple ways and I grateful.

Scott was great!  Anyone who has a bee problem should definitely call Scott.    He is extremely knowledgeable, caring, thorough and a really nice guy.  He gets the job done correctly.  I was at my Mom and Dad's house in Surprise, AZ when we noticed a swarm of bees in the backyard.  After doing extensive research on who to call, we found Scott and called him.  We spoke to him on the phone regarding what was happening, I took photos and text them to him.  After speaking to him on the phone we knew he was the right guy for the job.   Scott came out to our home and we are so grateful we found him!  I highly recommend him to anyone who has a bee problem!!!

A bee swarm showed up yesterday on the elm tree in my front yard. My neighbor has grandkids and was concerned about the bees. I found Scott The Bee Man on the Go Gilbert Facebook group, he was highly recommended. I read his website and was pleased to see that he was a bee keeper and would not exterminate the bees.

I called him and was not expecting much, it being a Saturday. It was a nice surprise that he took my call, listened to my concerns, and best of all scheduled bee colony removal this Sunday morning.

He patiently educated me on bees and their behavior and habits, even explaining it was not necessary to remove the bees, they would likely leave in a couple of days. He took the time to inspect the exterior of my home. He vacuumed the bees in just minutes, was careful to ensure that he got the queen bee. He also explained that some bees may possibly return and if that happened, just call him.

I was happy to learn he and his wife actually operate a bee farm in Phoenix and they sell honey and pollen. I immediately requested to have my name added to their mailing list.

The service was excellent and the price reasonable. I know that living in Arizona means co-existing with bugs and creatures and that the bees would be back. I would definitely call Scott again in the future when the bees return.

We noticed a couple of bees and 3 days later found a hive that was buzzing with activity right next to a door into my husband's office! Called Scott who was so fast in responding those bees never had a chance!
He communicates well, efficiently took my bees to a new home and we are pleased as punch.

Could not possibly recommend Scott more! Experienced, quick to respond, extremely knowledgeable, efficient, professional, and very affordable! Had a hive find its way into a wall in my house, gave Scott a call (per someone's rec on the Nextdoor app), and--thanks to his beekeeping wizardry--he had the bees completely out by the following afternoon.

If you're encountering bee troubles, DO NOT call an exterminator--a dead hive is a catalyst for other unwanted critter infestations (rats, roaches, future hives, etc). Instead, do yourself a favor and have this expert, local bee keeper do a safe, effective, efficient, and affordable live removal!

Thank you, Scott!

We've used Scott for  a hive we had trying to relocate to our Olive Trees in the front yard.  He was fast, professional and efficient!  If you've got a bee problem call Scott, you won't need any other number!!
Thanks Scott!

I called twice, left my name and phone number both times, and didn't get a return call. It would be more professional to at least respond to say he couldn't help my situation or he was on vacation or whatever the case was. Super disappointing since this is a local company and beekeepers aren't something I need frequently. He had fantastic reviews and I was looking forward to learning what he had to say about my flying, stinging insects and giving him my business (the bugs were a question mark at the time I called - I've since found out they were parasitic wasps). Anyway, I hope to never need a beekeeper ever again, but if I do, I'll use the Beehive Bee and Wasp Removal in Ahwatukee since they were responsive and helpful.

We phoned Scott yesterday, and he answered right away, providing good advice for dealing with a bee invasion until he could deal with it this morning. He vacuumed up the swarm and gave us recommendations for preventing future bee settlements. He will re-home the swarm with a new European queen, and he tells us that they'll be making honey by tomorrow. He followed up later in the day with a text to ensure we weren't seeing any more bees, and he provided guidance on patching/filling the void where the swarm had set up shop to prevent future incursions. We were impressed with his knowledge and professionalism, and we would certainly recommend him to our friends.

Scott came to our rescue over the weekend. Several bees had collected in a bathroom ceiling. I called Scott, based on positive Yelp reviews. He came right out and figured out what was going on with the bees. He is smart, trustworthy and reliable. I give him the highest recommendation.

HIGHLY recommend Scott The Bee Man - and I rarely write reviews so that says a lot. He was fairly priced, professional, honest and went way above and beyond with customer service and the job itself. I never felt pressured and he thoroughly explained every step and what to expect - before, during and after the process.

Even long after the job was done he followed up several times to check on his work. He happened to also notice my skylight leaked and fixed that while he was on the roof dealing with the bee issue. He said he felt bad about the leak and did not even charge me for the extra work.

Although I hope never to have to need Scott's services again - you should know who to call if you find yourself with a bee issue. He was terrific!

I found a beehive on my house one evening and called Scott the Bee Man first thing the next morning. He returned my call almost immediately and was out at my house by 10:00 am taking care of my problem.
He did a great job. Took all the bees, beehive and cleaned up anything that the bees had left.
He explained what to do from there to safeguard against bees invading again. I am very happy with his service and would call him again if I (hopefully not!) ever have a problem with bees again

Sent a text and left a voicemail message.  No response.  Maybe they have gone out of business.

Scott was easy to contact and responds well to text messages.  We texted over the course of 2 days and he had a same day appointment.  I had a carpenter bee issue in 2 areas.  He vacuumed up as many bees as possible and then located the hives and destroyed them.  He was quick and efficient.  Worth every penny.  The bees are gone!

Scott knows his Bee's and offers a no-kill, no insecticide service.  Scott retrieved the bee's out of our olive tree and took them away, its quite a process and he explained everything thoroughly and followed up after too. Our bee's are gone.

The is the second time I've used Scott to remove a bee hive. The first time went without a hitch. A second hive appeared a year later. It was important for us to preserve these magical creatures and we wanted an experienced professional who shared our desire not to kill the bees. The hive was tucked into a crevice on our roof and was at least a year
old. Scott warned us about the need the cut into the roof and the risks involved with job. He was true to his quote and within a few hours had removed the hive.

Scott is personable, upfront and caress about his work. He is easy to communicate with and since completing the job he has touched base several times to see how the area looked and confirm that the bee issue was resolved.
I  would strongly recommend him. I did not entertain any other quotes or bids as I saw no reason to look elsewhere after the first job he did at our home.

I highly recommend Scott.  We heard bees in our ceiling/walls and called him after reading other reviews.  He was at my house in less than 30 minutes, found the hive using his thermal camera and got it taken care of within 2 hours.  He even texted me multiple times over the following week to confirm that the bees had fully abandoned the area he removed the hive from.   I can't say enough good things about his work and his expertise.

Scott is so knowledgeable about bees and was a pleasure to work with. I found his number and called him in a panic late Sunday as I had a swarm form on a tree outside my house out of nowhere! I've lived here almost 6 years now and this has been my first bee encounter of this capacity. Even though it ended up going another route he touched base with me to ensure everything went well at my house with my bee problem. I would highly recommend Scott and will definitely use him in the future (but I hope I don't have to!) thanks again Scott!

We had a pretty large hive in our yard with lots of bees swarming around it.  I called Scott and he came out the following morning and removed the entire hive.  He was very nice and knowledgeable and I would definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone having a bee problem.

Found a small swarm gathering in a container outside.  Called Scott and he gave me some great advice after I text him a few pictures. His advice worked and it actually prevented him from coming and me having to pay!

Very honest. Very responsive. I will for sure call Scott again in the future if I need help with bees.

Thanks, Scott!

Scott is awesome! We saw a cluster of resting bees this morning, so I gave him a call. He was able to come out same day, and he was able to remove the bees quickly, humanely, and easily. I highly recommend him and his services!!

Super responsive despite the lockdown  - we had bees try to move in while our garage was under construction, and Scott came by twice to make sure they were not becoming permanent residents!  Scott was very knowledgeable about their behavior and  thankfully they were not a problem!

I am giving Scott 5 Stars just for his help on the phone.

I didn't even have to use him as the bees did eventually leave my property the day after I called him, but this guy knows his stuff! He is super helpful and was nice enough to look at some photos of the bees on my phone and told me to wait a day and he would come out with an upfront price if they stayed around.

Great service I can tell already just from one phone call!

I want to give a shout out to the beekeeper who rearranged his schedule and got to our house immediately once he saw the size of the swarm we had on our wall.

Scott doesn't kill the bees. He removes them and puts them in a new colony, out of harms way where they can do nature's work of pollinating. This is important because we need the pollinators, but also because dead bees draw in more bees, which keeps making the problem recur.

Anyway--we went from no bees to somewhere between 10,000-15,000 aggressive bees (5 POUNDS OF BEES) in less than 1/2 hour!  Scott arrived at our house within an hour of seeing the photo I sent him. That's major customer service!

Scott is amazing. I called him about bees buzzing around the side of our house and he was there within a few hours. He discovered a large nest in our garage wall and removed it within a couple of days. Scott is very knowledgeable about bees and their behavior....I learned a lot just talking with him. Prompt, efficient, great follow up ! Highly recommend.

I noticed bees flying around the eaves of our house. Wanting to be proactive I went looking for help. Scott was very informative and after our conversation the decision was made to keep an eye on the area. Much to my delight the bees decided to move on and not create a hive. I appreciate Scott taking the time to answer my questions, his customer service (even though he never had to come out) and his follow up. I will keep his number handy if I ever need help in the future.

We found a hive hanging from one of our trees on a Saturday morning. I texted Scott after finding him on yelp. I am not kidding when I say that he seriously texted back less than 30 seconds later. He was able to come to my house within 2 hours and the bees were safely removed by the afternoon. He was very professional and showed my husband possible trouble spots in our eaves where wasps and bees could build homes. Great preventative care. Happy to know the bees are still living somewhere else. Would not hesitate to use again.

I have hired Scott twice for hive removals, once a few years ago and again last week. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I was very happy that he was able to save most of the bees even though they were deep in the trunk of my olive tree. They behaved just as he said they would. I highly recommend Scott the Bee Man.

We contacted him on a Sunday because we saw a ball of bees hanging from one of our trees, we just moved in to this house so we hadn't had an issue like this before. He was quick to text and give us a call back after we left him a voicemail and was very honest about what to expect and whether we needed service or not. I had called some other company a few minutes before calling Scott but immediately canceled since we got a bad feeling they were going to kill the bees and that they didn't care. Scott was very helpful and followed up on the situation the next day. We will definitely call Scott if we need help or service with bees in the future.

Scott was great! I called him about a hive that was inside a tree I was planning on having removed that week. He was able to come out later that day. He was great following up and when there were still quite a few bees still around the next day he came out two more times to make sure they were all removed. Thanks for the great job!

Scott did a great job for us! I feel so bad I didn't know about him the first time I had a bee problem. I will spare you the sad story but Scott got the job done right this time. I think that everyone who has a bee problem should call Scott! He's very knowledgable, caring and thorough. His promptness and follow through was great. A super nice guy. He saw a propane tank in my garage and offered to carry it to the backyard. Later when I went to the backyard, I saw that he had even hooked it up. Amazing!

While I didn't have a swarm of bees, I did have some bees hanging around one of our trees, so I called Scott.  He spent time with me on the phone, patiently educating me on what kind of bees they were, why they were there, and provided recommendations on how to get rid of them.  I thoroughly appreciated the time he took to share his knowledge and advice and would recommend him to anyone who has a bee problem!
