Blythewood Bee Company

Scott did a fantastic job, and I highly recommend his services. Due to the location of the hive, the best way to remove it was from inside the home (to avoid damage to my house). Not only he went the extra mile to protect the carpet and surrounding areas, he has very throughout in explaining what the procedure entailed and made sure that me and my family will feel the least impact possible. Thanks Scott, you really helped us!

I was so blessed to have Blythewood Bee Company to come to our rescue!! He came when he said he was. He and his helper were extremely nice. They took the time out to educate me about my guess (the bees) and answered the many questions I had. They had to remove part of my siding and took great care in doing so. They left my yard the way they found it--minus the bees, of course. They took great care not to destroy my plants as they worked. If anyone ever needs a beekeeper he will be the person I refer them to.

Owner Scott Derrick personally answered the phone within five rings after I selected him from numerous companies listed on Bees-on-the-net.com and Angie's List. The outside second level of our home was being swarmed by honey bees and I was in need of a professional to remove and save them. I had already killed three that entered the master bathroom through a vent fan and several more had penetrated the lower level screened in porch. Scott provided me with his itinerary and responded to my residence, some 30 miles away, within three hours. He advised me when he was within five minutes of arriving. He discussed with me the nature of honey bees and concluded that we had a small group of and quot;scoutsand quot; looking for a nesting area for the entire swarm. He checked the second level of the home as well as the attic and concluded the locations were secure. He then caulked the facia board to prevent further intrusion and checked the associated roof area and chimney. Scott is a good Christian man whose prices are fair and reasonable. He had a helper with him and both worked diligently. I have no reservation recommending Scott and his company for this type situation.

I called the owner, Scott Derrick, on Thursday (5/2) evening. He took time on the phone discussing and explaining my and quot;beeand quot; problem. Obviously, very knowledgeable about bee colonies, my particular neighborhood and extremely courteous and professional. I was quoted a price and told that he could come out the next day (Friday afternoon) to remove the colony. The 2:30 p.m. appointment was confirmed. Scott was running late, as he had an earlier removal that took longer than expected. Scott telephoned to let me know that he was running late and should be at my residence about 3:30 to 4:00 p.m. or so. He and his assistant arrived around 4:00 p.m. Scott and assistant were both very professional, pleasant and knew what they were doing. Immediately located the bee colony, explaining details to me, went to work, videotaped the colony, removed the bees. Scott's assistant even took pictures for me, using my camera. Scott had initially said it would probably take up to 3 hours to remove the colony. I think it took approximately 2 hours. I hope I never have another bee colony at my residence, but if I do, I certainly would call Blythewood Bee Company. Highly recommend!

It went very well. There was more cleanup than I anticipated, but otherwise it was a very good experience. I would certainly call this contractor again and can recommend him without reservation.

The owner of this business went out of his way to provide me with advice and information over the phone on how to handle my carpenter bee situation, even when he knew that he would not be making a service call to my house. He spent at least 30-45 minutes on the phone with me trying to help me and he was so friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who has a bee situation that they need help with!

He services North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. He had one helper, a lady, come out with him, and they both worked well together. They were professional and they answered our questions. They didn’t mind if we looked over their shoulder. They gave the estimate, came in and did their job, and removed the bees and the honeycombs. They did a real good job. They vacuumed the bees out. The vacuum goes through a box that collects the bees and then they save the queen bee and then clean up the honeycombs. Ours was a small honeycomb compared to the ones they have on their website. The quality of their work was very good. Because they are not carpenters they don’t repair the work after they are through, and that’s expected because they inform us about that right in the beginning. At some of the houses, they have to carry out part of the walls and things like that, and we were really lucky that we didn’t have to do any such thing. The honeycomb was built under the bay window, and they had to take the board off underneath. They were all around the bees before they put their gear on. When they started to vacuum the bees out and get them in the box they did put their gear on. They came within the week that we contacted them. They were supposed to come on a certain day but they couldn’t make it because they ran into a problem on the job prior to ours, but they did call ahead of time and explain to us, and they showed up the next day, right on time. They not knew only about what they were doing but they knew about bees.
