Bennett’s Bees of the Florida Keys is run by Keys beekeeper Jeff Bennett, who provides bee removal, swarm capture, and honey production in the Marathon and Islamorada stretch of Monroe County. If you live in the middle Keys and have found bees on your property, having a local beekeeper who knows the area is a real advantage, since the Keys are far enough from mainland services that not every removal company will make the drive.
The core of the work is live-focused: captured swarms and colonies are relocated rather than exterminated. That’s an important distinction for a homeowner who wants the bees gone but doesn’t want them killed, and it’s the whole reason this directory exists. Whether it’s a swarm that has clustered on a tree or fence, or an established colony that needs to be dealt with, the goal is to move the bees to safety.
Because this is a Keys-based beekeeper who also produces honey, you’re dealing with someone genuinely invested in the health of local bees, not a general pest outfit passing through. When you reach out, let Jeff know exactly where the bees are and how long they’ve been there so he can gauge the job. As always, availability and specifics vary, and each beekeeper sets their own terms, so a quick conversation up front will tell you what to expect for your spot in Marathon, Islamorada, or the surrounding Keys.
