This is Its All Better

🐝 About Me: The Bee Guy Behind It’s All Better

Master Beekeeper • Builder • Bee Rescuer • Storyteller


Hi, I’m Bill Kaufman. I’m not a pest control guy. I’m a bee rescuer, a teacher, and a lifelong student of nature—with one foot in the wild hive and the other on a roof with a pry bar.

I’ve spent over 25 years in fine home construction and repair, so I know how houses go together (and how to put them back together even better).
I’ve also spent 20 years keeping bees, with a Master Beekeeper Certification from Cornell since 2020. Since 2018, I’ve been teaching about bees—what they do, what they need, and why they matter.

But what really sets me apart?
I’ve spent the last 8 years specializing in wild honey bee rescue and relocation—pulling colonies out of walls, barns, floors, and attics and giving them new life.


🌿 My Mission

To treat bees and people with respect.
To listen to the wild bees and learn their ways.
To fix what others wreck.
To educate, uplift, and leave things better than I found them.


💛 My Philosophy

  • Natural beekeeping—in tune with nature and the wisdom of the bees
  • No-spray, no-kill removals—because life matters
  • Solid craftsmanship—because you deserve your home back, better
  • Clear pricing—no surprise invoices, ever
  • Kindness and curiosity—because every colony has a story, and I like to tell it right

🌿 A Beekeeper Who Listens to the Bees

I don’t just manage bees—I study them in the wild.

Before I ever pull frames or harvest honey, I spend time watching feral colonies in old trees, barns, and hidden hollows. I pay attention to what they do naturally, without human interference. I don’t force them to fit into a system—I shape my beekeeping around what they teach me.

This is natural beekeeping—not just a style, but a relationship.

  • Rooted in observation
  • Guided by the rhythms of nature
  • Grounded in the design of our Creator
  • And always respectful of the bees’ own ancient wisdom

I believe healthy beekeeping doesn’t come from more gadgets—it comes from humility, patience, and a willingness to listen. That’s what I bring to every workshop, trail walk, and classroom visit.

When I speak, I speak from experience—and from a place of deep respect for these creatures I get to learn from every day.

It’s not about controlling bees—it’s about partnering with them.


📚 Why I Do This

Because bees are incredible.
Because people are good.
Because too many hives are sprayed when they could’ve been saved.
Because every child should taste real honey and meet a beekeeper who loves what he does.
Because every homeowner should know who’s fixing their wall and why the buzzing inside it is worth rescuing.
