I am an experienced Beekeeper and Bee Removal Specialist in Austin Texas. With over 25 years of experience, removing bees out of homes, trees, odd containers, and off military bases and commercial buildings I sometimes think I have seen it all. However, bees get in some unusual spaces and it is my job to get the bees relocated for the safety of the people as well as the bees. I originally moved to Austin from Houston to attend college and get an engineering degree. Having done beekeeping and bee removal a few times with family friends I decided to offer the service to help pay the bills. After requests for bee removal began to take over my schedule I decided to drop out and start an apiary and began the journey of Keith’s Bee Service.
