please see the following links for my contact information:\u00a0 (These same links are in the top menu bar on this website as well.)<\/p>\n<p>Also please understand that most bee removal specialists are overwhelmed beginning in March with calls.\u00a0 In peak season I personally receive between 30-40 calls per day &#8211; and occasionally do several full removals per day, as well as manage 400+ hives for agriculture contracts. \u00a0\u00a0 If I do not answer the phone, I am probably in a hive &#8211; so please do leave a message and I will return the call as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>My bee line is 469-251-2BEE (2233) &#8211; please DO read the removal information links and FAQ links below, however.<\/p>\n<p>I will ask you (a) How long the bees have been there.\u00a0 (b) How high from the ground is their entrance.\u00a0 (c) Your location, and (d) for any photos you can text to me to help assess the structure overall and zoomed in photos of where the bees are entering\/exiting.<\/p>\n<p>Removal Information:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bohemianutopia.com\/wordpress\/?page_id=2\">https:\/\/www.bohemianutopia.com\/wordpress\/?page_id=2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Frequently asked questions (and my answers):<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bohemianutopia.com\/wordpress\/?page_id=512\">https:\/\/www.bohemianutopia.com\/wordpress\/?page_id=512<\/a><\/p>\n<p>YouTube Channel\u00a0 (Please Subscribe!!)<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/HarmonyHollowApiary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/HarmonyHollowApiary<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Facebook Page (Please &#8220;Like&#8221;
