Olivia Free Van Buren
Little Free’s Bees
256-585-5760
Information provided:
- I am in my third year of beekeeping but I jumped right in and I currently have 14 hives in Washtenaw County and Monroe County.
- My partner does the actual cutting while I do the removal of bees. He is a carpenter in Washtenaw County and specializes in remodeling foreclosure homes.
- We have done 1 trap out, and 2 cutouts successfully so far.
- Our services are completely free, but we will do not patch, fix, or cover the cutout hole. That is up to the homeowner. If we are provided with the materials (I.e. plastic sheeting, a plywood board, caulking, etc.) we will cover the hole to the best of our abilities.
- We cover Washtenaw County, and Monroe County. If you are close to those areas and need assistance, give us a call and we can see if we are able to travel to your area.
