Beekeeping Resources

Blythewood Bee Company

I helped Scott Derrick with Blythewood Bee Company perfect Honey-B-Gone which is a product that repels honeybees. I use this product to keep honeybees from going into areas I don’t want to go. I’ve also used it for doing “forced absconds. I also use Swarm Commander Premium Swarm Lure to capture a swarm and also to lure bees into boxes I’m trying to get them to go into when I’m doing removals.

Colorado Bee Rescue-Bee Vac

I helped Guy Shingleton of Denver, Colorado test & design the Colorado Bee Rescue bee vac. This is the bee vacuum I currently use for my bee removals. It is extremely user friendly and keeps bee casualties to an absolute bare minimum.
