Kevin Hodges Bee Removal is a Duval County contact listed on the Jacksonville Beekeepers Association roster for cut-outs and swarm or hive removal. For a Jacksonville homeowner weighing who to call about a colony, that association listing is a good sign the work is handled by someone plugged into the local live-removal community rather than a spray-first pest service.
One interesting note in this listing is that the contact address ties back to a plumbing-trade account. That background hints at real hands-on experience with structural access, which is precisely the skill set a difficult cut-out demands. When bees have built comb inside a wall cavity, under a soffit or behind other finished surfaces, the person doing the removal needs to open the structure carefully, get the colony and comb out, and leave things in a state that can be closed back up. Someone comfortable working around the guts of a house brings a useful instinct to that kind of job.
Because the roster covers both swarms and full hive cut-outs, Kevin Hodges Bee Removal is worth a call whether you have a fresh cluster of bees out in the open or a long-established colony tucked into your home. Every beekeeper sets their own terms, so phone ahead, explain where the bees are and how long they have been there, and let him assess what the removal will involve before committing.
