SHOULD YOU JUST DO IT YOURSELF???? Bee removal can be very dangerous. It is very common for us to get stung right through our suits on bee removal calls. If you or a family member are one of the few who have allergies to bee stings this could be potentially fatal. It is not worth risking your life or that of a family members to do your own bee removal. The potential danger and risk of being stung attempting your own bee removal will be different depending on the species you are trying to remove. Honey bees can only sting once and they are generally termed as "defensive" versus "offensive" but once provoked, honey bees can attack in such numbers that they can kill regardless of an allergy being present or not. Any attempted bee removal on yellow jackets can be equally dangerous as they have the ability to sting multiple times. Yellow Jacket stingers are not barbed like the honey bees and yellow jackets are much more aggressive than honey bees. Yellow jackets will attack you with very little or even no provocation making any bee removal a potentially painful endeavor. Not only does any do-it-yourself bee removal expose you to being stung, most DIY bee removal attempts are met with failure. Yellow Jackets and Hornets (both a type of wasp) can have multiple queens. If you attempt a bee removal by spraying an over the counter bee spray like the type sold at Home Depot or Lowe's and you fail to kill all of the queens, there is a high probability of the bees bouncing right back in the coming weeks. Our best advice is to hire a professional bee removal expert who understands the biology of these insects and can remove them in a safe and effective manner. We learned our lessons through thousands of bee removal calls and hundreds of stings. Please think twice before trying a bee removal without the proper equipment! It could save your life...
PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM YOURSELF!!!!
Additional Note: Our bee removal services are conducted differently than Orkin or Terminex would do. Most pest control agencies or exterminators will use very harsh chemicals that require special licensing to employ. These place your children and your pets at risk. Our bee removal techniques can be done 100% organically without the use of harsh chemicals. By removing the entire nest, to include the Queen and all the babies, we minimize or completely negate the need for such chemicals. As bee removal experts we understand the biology of bees enough to disrupt their reproductive cycle and prevent them from returning. A bee removal should NEVER place your family or pets at risk and we will ALWAYS treat your house and property as if it were our own. Please consider The Bee Shepherds for all of your bee removal needs.
We can perform any bee removal humanely. We will always perform a live bee removal of honey bees as our mission statement dedicates us to the preservation of honey bees. Upon request, we can also perform live removal of yellow jackets, wasps, and hornets if if violates your religious beliefs to kill them or if it is simply your preference.

Reviews From Happy customers

  • YELP Stephanie G.Jericho, NY7/25/2019 "Hiring Bee Shepherds is the best money I've ever spent! I found them online and called them in a panic. My house was swarming with wasps. They came that night (at 7pm after a full day of working other jobs) and handled the problem. The wasps had built a nest in my 25 foot high living room ceiling. Mike was able to tackle the job, cutting a hole neatly in the ceiling (after climbing an enormous ladder), vacuuming out nest and all the wasps that had gotten into the house (literally hundreds of them). They were so professional, kind and careful with my furniture/items. They came back the next day to treat the outside of the house and took away all nests in the backyard. (Turns out, there were many). I couldn't be happier with this service. Worth every penny. Other companies I called wouldn't even talk to me once I told them the ceiling height. I have never written a recommendation online but felt it was necessary for this. I highly recommend them!"
  • YELP Susan M.Fort Edward, NY11/21/2016 "These guys are awesome!!! I had a yellow jacket nest in the wall of my house! They started getting into my bedroom and I freaked out. I called The Bee Shepherds. The girl on the phone was super sweet and really informative so I scheduled them to come the following day. They showed up on time, quickly located the hive right through the wall using a neat infrared camera. They made a small cut into the wall, sucked out the yellow jackets and the nest, and we haven't had any issues since! Thanks Bee Shepherds!"

    6 months ago"Highly recommendable! Came w/i 2days. HONEST business man and was extremely happy w/his work! Gave me 2 options and went over things thoroughly so I was well aware of how it could be treated. I was glad I chose these people w/out a doubt."
YELP Denise G.Garden City, NYY7/27/2016 "I have absolutely no idea why this company would get anything less than 5 stars!!!!! I would give 100 if I could! This is a family owned, father and son team and I have used them countless times over the last few years, as we seem to get wasp nests a few times a season. Having lost my son to cancer, I was very concerned about the use of pesticides because of my surviving son.
Each time, they quickly located the nest and physically removed the full nest with no pesticide use. Beyond that, their genuine compassion for what we have been through is something I have yet to encounter with any company we have called on to help with any situation.
As for the review where they were supposedly trying to take more money than they should have for the work, I can not believe that could be true, as they have refused to take any money from me since my son was sick and passed away. Not even money for coffee when I offered. Also, they are not an extermination company, but a bee removal company. Therefore they DO NOT have to be licensed and insured like the previous reviewer commented.
These men are incredibly beautiful people who are in a business to help others. If you care about your family's health and safety and feel good about giving money to amazing people than this is the team to call for any bee or wasp problems. They are nothing short of amazing!!"
