how much is a beekeeper compared to an exterminator?

[jjcon]

I knew a beekeeper that would take them off peoples property for free since they could typically sell them or home them themselves - win win. I don’t think that is uncommon.

Here in NZ, the beekeeper is free. They may reject the job though, as cutouts of colonies are horrible.

Beekeeper is generally free. Exterminator pricing varies based on locality and scale of the job.

Some beekeepers in competitive localities will pay to come remove your hive.

I called a local apiary to remove a wasp nest in the Seattle area. They charged a flat $200 for wasps, and $0 for bees.
