About Been's Bees
Run by Justin Jacobeen, a 10-year working beekeeper based in Hummelstown. We're experts in live honeybee removal, swarm collection, and beekeeping education across Central PA. Every colony we collect goes to one of our apiaries, where they keep doing what they're meant to do: pollinate, build comb, and make honey.
We're committed to sustainable beekeeping practices and produce honey free from synthetic chemicals. The person who answers the phone is the person who'll be on your roof.
Hours: Mon–Sat 7am–9pm · Sun 9am–6pm. We respond same-day to most inquiries during these hours, and texts at any time.
