This man provides amazing educational and environmentally changing experiences, we should all have the good fortune to partake in. He is an amazing resource. Bee keeping was scary to me. Our family y started keeping bees last year, by accident. A very nice, too-bar bee hive, was donated by a nice neighbor My son and I found, “Free top bar hive!” And a “how-to use it!” book here locally, and being enterprising young fellow(s), decided to put it to use.Brent was able to help us get started. We’ve fallen in love, not with the honey but with the vibes the bees bring us. They immediately awakened our senses to new things in our world and it’s been a great learning experience for my, now 5 year old. He has become more aware of our planet by the bees important, not scary, presence in our lives.If I can review anything, it’s Brent and the Bees. They are a safe and environmentally helpful refuge to any property big enough to safely host them. Thank you!

Very knowledgeable and helpful beekeeper in Eugene. I was very impressed by his responsiveness and generosity in helping my situation as soon as possible. Please support Plan Bees, and please support our local bee population.

He responded immediately, and came to my house within 15 minutes. He was courteous, knowledgeable, and came up with a really creative idea to save the bees but also save me from the bees. I would give 10 starts if that were possible.

Brent was absolutely amazing. He came to my home the day after I contacted him and had our bumblebee hive safely boxed up in no time. And if it wasn’t enough that he saved our hive of bumblebees, he also insisted that I take any payment I would have given to him and donate it to Core Eugene to help at-risk youth in our community. There are not enough stars to do his mission justice. Thank you Brent for being a steward of our community and our environment.

Brent was fantastic. We called and he came within 40 minutes. He was able to gather the bees, with my family as an audience, and move them to a safer place. Such a great service for the community. Would call again in a heartbeat!!

Brent came out next day to my house and spent about 30 minutes with me looking at some orange-belted bumblebees in our front bush. I was concerned that the bees were living there and possibly aggressive. He took the time to educate me that these were queens looking for nectar in our bush and that they would only be there for another fews weeks. He also let me know that they are loud and clumsy, but fast fliers (which is why they appear to be aggressive when I walk past them). He gave me some good tips on locating hives and some plants that will support them. This was one of the coolest experiences I have had with a volunteer rescue group. Thank you. :-)

Brent was a great guy. I message him and he responded very quickly to my honey bee swarm located in my front yard. Got them guys cleared up, was super friendly and knowledgeable. Couldnt ask for a better person to handle this situation. If you gave honey bee swarm this is your man! He clears up the honey bees and relocates them to a better environment out in Lane County.

Brent was so nice and flexible and knowledgeable. He came out right away and came back multiple times to make sure all the bumblebees were re-homed. It was nice to be able to finish my yard work without being stung and to know that our friendly pollinators were not harmed.

Saw a swarm migrating across the field next to our house and then later discovered they had temporarily landed on a guard rail right out front. I called Brent, who arrived within the hour. Took care of the bees and was a delight to speak with. Thank you Brent!

Brent was so great from the initial contact on the phone to coming out and caring for the precious swarm of honey bees that were in our dogwood tree. Highly recommend for either safe removal of a swarm like we had or just a go-to guy for information. Thanks, Plan Bees!

Cannot recommend Brent from Plan Bees enough! He was out the door as soon as we called, educated the adults and young kids about how incredible and necessary bees are, and turned a stressful backyard situation into a pleasant one! He even let the kids try on the bee suit! Don’t hesitate to call this experienced and friendly bee guy!
