He is not well liked in the Austin area. I was surprised that the season was so short. I wonder if he got in trouble, legally. They mention in at least one of the episodes that catching bees in unwanted places is an important part of his honey business. It is illegal in Texas to sell honey from a cut-out. This is probably because you don't know what chemicals may have been used before the bee rescuer showed up in an effort to get rid of the bees.
Also, if I had a business, I would be reluctant to rely on someone of his caliber to guarantee a consistent supply of honey.
Oh, and did you catch that he seems to use wax melters, rather than extractors to harvest his honey? If I've been told correctly, the honey loses a lot of its value when heated with a solar wax melter.
Of course, I could have mis-interpreted what they said.
Despite all of the flaws, I like to point my friends to the show because it illustrates the difficulty involved in working bees in the Texas heat. I especially enjoy watching the beekeepers reactions when the bees enter the suit with them.
