Beverly Bees is an apiary in Beverly, MA that's spent fifteen years building a reputation around honey, beeswax candles, and skin care, while also taking calls for honey bee swarms and live bee or wasp removal. BBB lists it as a sole proprietorship run by Anita Deeley, and that same profile carries an A+ grade, though the business has never sought formal BBB accreditation. Its Google page holds a 4.7-star average across 41 ratings, and the written reviews lean the same way — a steadily positive tone across thirteen reviews going back to 2022 and spanning four different sources. The most recent of those, from this spring, comes from someone who took the company's Bee Boot Camp course after a rough beekeeping year and came away with fresh confidence, calling the class well taught with every question answered. The longer history mixes retail purchases with occasional removal work, and the tone across that stretch holds steady rather than swinging. One thing worth knowing going in: that A+ BBB grade sits next to a non-accredited status, so it isn't the same as a certified or vetted badge — worth a quick gut check if that distinction matters to you. Beverly Bees looks like a reasonable call for local honey and candles, or for a bee or wasp removal handled by people who clearly know bees. Given how much of the visible history centers on the retail side rather than the removal work itself, it's worth confirming current availability and pricing directly if a swarm or nest is the reason you're calling.

I thoroughly enjoyed Bee Boot Camp and learned an enormous amount. I was not feeling confident after a loss in 2024 and a one year break in my beekeeping. I am starting again in a week with fresh enthusiasm and a great deal more confidence. The classes were very well taught and no question remained unanswered. I thoroughly recommend Bee Boot Camp for anyone at the beginning of their beekeeping journey and I am delighted I decided to attend.

Our property management folks hired Brian from Beverly Bees to remove a hive/nest that had formed in our wall over the course of a year or so. Brian came in and immediately impressed my wife and I wrote his knowledge, which was much welcomed after a year of us attempting to have the bees removed. He went in through the ceiling in our bathroom, and when that didn't yield access to the hive, he adjusted and gained access through the front exterior wall. Very impressive to see him work with the shopvac and other tools on the roof of our porch. After removing what was left of the hive he patched up both the inside and outside of the house! I would highly recommend these folks if you have bee removal needs. Don't make the mistake that our PM did, spraying with chemicals and whatnot - call Beverly Bees.

Purchased a jar of Beverly Bees honey for my family & I for seasonal allergies. Not only is the honey absolutely delicious, but the owners are wonderful and truly care about their work. There was some construction making it difficult for me to get to Beverly Bees, so the owner went out of his way to meet me nearby with my jar. Amazing customer service! Will purchase from them again!

Beverly Bees has fabulous, genuine beeswax candles in an array of sizes, designs, and price points. I enjoy the clean burn, the natural existing light honey smell without toxic additives. These candles are long lasting, pretty, shipped quickly, and I will be a repeat customer!! Thank you to you and your staff!

I met the vendor at his stand in a farmer’s market outside of the Boston Public Library. He was very engaging. As we were admiring his candles, bees started to fly around his products and he handled them like they were his friends. (He joked that they were trained, and I believed him until he said he was kidding!). The candles were beautiful and smelled lovely. I bought a rat and a sunflower for my girls, but he has more gorgeous selections online. I also bought some amazing chapstick that goes on very smooth without the stickiness of other wax-based lip balms. I didn’t try any honey only because I was flying home within a couple of hours, but if I get the chance, I will.
