Willie The Bee Man did a good job, they found the problem. It was a good experience. They were clear on what they were going to do and they did a good job.

The best! Quick response, expertly drilled holes and removed entire hive. I learned a lot about bees that day! And they very nicely gave me a small discount for being a teacher ? what a nice surprise! My problem was solved and I haven't had bees since then. I just joined Angie's List and want to give them a shout out.

Prompt, courteous, willing to do what it took to get rid of much more than anticipated. Professional, knowledgeable, unflappable.

They were great. They were very professional, nice, and they responded right away.

He is awesome. I recommend him to everyone. He comes out very quickly and usually comes the next day for service.

We had an active hive near the roofline of our 2 story townhouse which had been there for several months. It wasn't clear where the hive was though the point of entry was easy to locate. The 2 techs from Willie's arrived within a few hours of my call and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. They made two small holes and located the hive which was in the soffit. They made a neat square hole in the soffit and removed the entire hive one comb at a time. They didn't use any chemicals until the hive had been removed so that we actually ended up with some honey (which was quite good). They were happy to explain the entire process and were knowledgeable and professional. They did an excellent job and it was so carefully done that it made the repair afterwards a relatively simple matter (Willie's does the removal but they do not do structural repair which we knew). I hope we never get another bee colony, but if we did I would get Willie the Bee Man to remove it.

He never contacted me. I wrote him a long email and he never responded. He contacted another service provider that I originally had do the work and I was not satisfied with that. I guess they were friends or something like that.

The service so far has been good. The only complaint is they need to have a better billing plan and let you know ahead of time what the cost will be.

We were very happy with the service. We knew we had bees that would not go away, but we had no idea how bad the situation was until the bee team opened up the soffit. Both men wore protective clothing and they had all the tools they needed for the job. Once the soffit was openened and the bees were located, bees were everywhere and it was not safe to be outside. There were around 7 hives spread across a 4 feet length of soffit. It took three holes to remove all the hives. The entire job took around 2 hours.

I would urge extreme caution in using this company. When the service rep showed up at my house, he performed a 5-minute visual inspection of the area where the bees were entering the house and of the interior of the house. He then said that the problem was more complex than he had anticipated and that he would have to come back on another day. He also stated that he would have to drill multiple holes in the house to locate the hive, some of which might be in the interior. He offered to allow me to reconsider whether I wanted to use their services. I told him that I thought this would be a good idea. He then left. This seemed like a fairly reasonable resolution. The rep then returned shortly afterwards and told me that he had been instructed by the office to collect a $195 "service charge". When I called the office to try and discuss this fee, the person with whom I spoke (presumably Willie himself) got angry with me and told me that he was "going to blackball me as a customer" (!!!). I subsequently did some searches on the Internet and discovered that many other customers have posted about their unhappy experiences with this company. If you are considering this company, I would advise that you first do a few Google searches and find out what others have been saying.

I'm very satisfied with the results.

He did a fine job. He came almost right away, he whacked it, and he was done. The price was reasonable and we haven’t had a problem since. He was right on time when he came out. Fortunately the bees were in the soffits and they weren’t in the attic. He told me what he was going to do and I told him to go ahead and do it. He gave me an alternative; he could have broken open the stucco in the soffit and gone at them that way. It would have been cheaper but I would have had to have the stucco redone and that would have been more expensive. He gave us a 90 day guarantee in case they came back. He told me what would happen with the honey and, sure enough, it did. The honey leaked down the wall of my house. We have a stucco house so it was no problem; it washed off with a hose. He put on a uniform and hood and he put his own ladder up there. There were bees all around him. He squirted some stuff in there and then he sealed them up into the soffits. That was it. He came down after 25 or 30 minutes. I paid him and I was very happy. He told me I was going to hear buzzing while they were trying to get out. I heard buzzing for two or three hours and then I didn’t hear any more buzzing. About two weeks later, the honey started running out the soffit because there were no bees there to take care of it. I picked up my garden hose and whacked it and off it came. He did a good job. I don’t know how much these people usually get; this is my first and hopefully last experience with bee removal. The price seemed right to me. He looked like he knew what he was doing.

They ripped off the soffit instead of injecting the dust into the roof. It didn't kill the bees and I had to have another exterminator come out to correct. I called Willy's back and he was very unfriendly and nasty about it.

I had a huge bee hive at my place to remove and I used Willie services. They were fantastic. I will highly recommend them. They will work for hours so that the work is with very less damage and with maximum safety.

He did a good job. The bees have not returned back. He did an excellent job. I think his price is good. He was responsive and professional.

He was punctual, he charged what he said he was going to charge, and I thought he did great. They gave me information and guaranteed the work for a year.

Called them based on Angie's List and Aimee explained in detail what she & her husband would need to do and gave an estimated cost - dependent on size. She also explained that because of the commercial bee disappearance in the last few years, no one was accepting feral bees and they would have to kill them. They arrived exactly on time and began by using a TV probe to see the inside of the hive. (The hive had been built through a knot hole in the edge of the roof facing.) They then used a spray through the entrance. After that they began cutting the underside of the roof overhang - starting with a small (about 1 foot diameter) hole. A mass of bees flew out! They then cut the hole larger and larger until the entire hive was exposed - about 4 ft long by the width of the overhang. Aimee then began carefully scraping the combs off the underside of the roof. As she dropped each, her husband explained to us what each was, e.g. one comb was all the babies sealed inside a coating that no poison could penetrate. They asked for a big bowl into which they put all the combs with honey - several pounds worth. The best part of the process was the education we got on bees. Absolutely fascinating! And the honey is delicious. Aimee and her husband were totally professional, knowledgeable eager to teach, and just delightful people. Amazingly, they told us they have serviced bees from Dallas to Mexico. Ted Kerr, Austin, TX

We had to have a new service box installed on the outside of our home. The electrical contractor informed us that we had bees in the box. We called J & J Pest Control (an Angie's list member) and they referred us to Wille The Bee Man, Inc. I talked to Al and he said he would be out at 9:00 a.m. the following day. Al and his wife Aimee (Willie's daughter) were great. Not only did they do a quick and efficient job on the service box (Yellow Jackets) but noticed some other areas on the house that needed to be treated. They sprayed in one area that I hadn't noticed and about 50 red faced hornets came racing out! By the time they were done (about 1 hour) we didn't have any more bee problems. They were professional, friendly, and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs bee removal.
