Customer Testimonials

"After five years of trying to keep bees on my own, I was so grateful to have found Bill Whitney as a mentor. I have learned tons from him. He is patient and kind, never presumptuous. I appreciate his vast knowledge, his ability to avoid chemicals and his flexibility."

"Wow! What a wild ride 2015 was. Bill didn't just mentor the Zelez family with our honey bees he took a personal interest on every aspect of our now 3 hives.
I feel confident enough with Bill's guidance to increase to 15 hives this year. I should be nervous but knowing Bill is willing to field all my questions I'm more excited then ever."

"I've always wanted to keep bees but didn't know where to start. Bill made it seem so fun and easy. It is a a joy to learn and now improve my beekeeping skills. Every time I call bill for help he provides great information."

"Bill is a consummate professional. I have had the privilege of witnessing Bill’s passion for bees on many different levels. His personal beekeeping knowledge is deep and constantly growing with experience and research. He keeps his own hives, harvests honey, grafts queens and mentors many beginning and intermediate level beekeepers. His help is insightful, friendly, individual, and always comes with a dose of wit and humor. I have experienced all of these. When it comes to removing unwanted bees, his knowledge shines. He is capable of doing the most difficult bee swarm removals, including; trapping, cut-outs and all sorts of open swarm capturing. I have worked with him as a carpenter repairing some of the wood following swarm removals in wooden columns and soffits. Bill is always careful, opting for the least intrusive way to extract the colonies and always cautiously removing the beehive so the bees are saved. Bill has a deep concern for bees and how invaluable they are for our world. As a fellow beekeeper, his commitment is appreciated." I have very much appreciated your help this year. It has been my favorite and educational year in beekeeping, and you have been a big part of that. Thanks!"
