Peter is amazing!! so knowledgeable and an educator at heart. They did a wonderful job right away. The bees and I are grateful .

  Matthew was the best! 808 Bee Rescue really saved the day for us. Matthew was friendly and knowledgeable about bees. He talked us through his plans to remove and safely... read more relocate the swarm of bees that decided to rest at our house. If you have a bee problem, I would 10/10 recommend giving Matthew a call. He accommodated our swarm off bees within hours of reaching out to him. He also provided me with an update on the bees after they had been relocated.

  Matthew is the BEST, hands down and I'm glad my husband relied on Yelp reviews in finding a good beekeeper.

From the first day he came out to... read more inspect our bee problem, he educated us on how the bees behave, what they do, the type of workers they have and what their job is, how the queen is made, etc. Although he wasn't able to fully inspect the situation as the hive was located under a platform we built for our shed to sit on, the information he gave was helpful in knowing how to maneuver around the bees so that we could empty out the shed.

During the clearing process, the bees were getting agitated and started swarming around. My husband called him and sent pictures of the activity. He came out to control the situation and removed the bees that were "locked out" from accessing the hive. Again, he educated us on what was going on and why the bees were acting they way they were. He told us exactly what to do and what not to do. We successfully cleared out the shed with no stings involved!

Removal day: He arrived around 9am and discovered it to be a bigger job than he expected , which took him about 7 hours to complete. He left around 5pm. The last hour was spent debriefing us. He explained everything he did, what to expect with the lingering bees and educated us more about them. It was a very enjoyable conversation as we got to learn more about him aside from his beekeeper title. As we're sitting there talking, bees would fly by him and I thought it was so cute that he acknowledged them by saying hi. I can tell that he sincerely loves bees ! I won't say anymore about him in this review, you'll have to find out more about him for yourself.

As a souvenir, Matthew left us with a nice piece of honeycomb and explained how to extract the honey and properly store it. Can wait to taste what was created under my shed!

Wanna BEE SMART? Choose 808 Bee Rescue! Thank you Matthew for being just an awesome person to do business with! You left us with an increased interest for bees, but we won't be quitting our day job over it! Lol

Oh and one more thing, his price is very reasonable!

(Pictured below is just one of the hives Mat removed.)

Aloha!

  I reached out to 808 Bee Rescue in the afternoon and received a call from Matthew shortly after submitting my request for help. He was knowledgeable, professional and, above all,... read more willing to go out of his way to help! He drove across the island the same afternoon to check out our issue and expertly handled it. If you ever have an issue with bees, I highly recommend reaching out to 808 Bee Rescue. While I hope I never have another bee issue, but, if I do, I'll be calling Matthew for help! Mahalo, Matthew!

  We had a swarm of bees take root in the house we are currently renting. Mathew did an amazing job communicating with the owners and us. The removal took about... read more 5 hours. Mathew was clean, precise, methodical and we all learned so much from Matthew about bees! His rates are super reasonable and everyone felt great "saving" the bees. I highly recommend 808 Rescue.

  Matthew the owner is awesome!!! I called him when I noticed a couple bees in the house, looked outside my window and saw about 20 or so bees flying around.... read more I found 808 Bee Rescue on Yelp and called not knowing much about bees other than I have severe reactions when stung. I left a lengthy message and he called me back right away. Matthew asked me all kinds of questions and was more than willing to help. He's incredibly knowledgeable and pleasant to speak with. It was late afternoon when we spoke and we live on opposite sides of the island.

He was going to be on my side the next day and offered to check out my situation in the morning. Due to where the bees were hanging out he suggested early morning. Matthew was in communication the whole time and arrived exactly when he said he would.

Matthew is SUPER NICE! We both practiced safe social distancing. He's polite, knows his bees, and efficient. He took his time and went above and beyond to get the job done. I felt a huge relief after, because I was not looking forward to a swarm of bees coming my way.

I believe in taking care of our bees for nature and sustainability, I just don't want to share my house with them. For me finding a "bee person" was my only option to not harm them. If you're like me, Matthew is the person you should call. I highly recommend this business and will refer anyone to use 808 Bee Rescue.

Thanks again Matthew!!!

  Mike is awesome! Called and he came out same day, very knowledgeable and resolved our "bee issue" Thank you!

  We had a massive hive in the backyard that was difficult to get to, but Matthew was able to approach the hive and get us photos during the initial inspection.... read more We hired him to relocate the hive and he did a great job. The day of the removal he sent us photos of inside the hive, the queen bee, and explained the process step by step. That night he returned to remove the hive and gave us a huge chunk of honeycomb! This was a wonderful experience and we'd recommend Matthew to anyone that needs a beehive removed/relocated.
