What Our Clients Say
Real stories from real neighbors in Santa Barbara.
“Koa arranged for Samai and Ben to come to my home to put together some IKEA furniture. They were very timely, organized and helpful. They asked questions along the way to make sure I was satisfied and they were thorough in completing the projects. They put together a full size bed, large dresser and nightstand. I highly recommend them!”

“I was very pleased with Samai's technical computer-iPhone help. He is very knowledgeable and very patient. I highly recommend using him. Another plus is that his hourly rate is very reasonable. I will be calling on him often.”
Gloria P.

“Student Bees to the rescue! An array of talented young people to assist you with all tasks tedious or glorious that you need help with. Samai was great: prompt, personable, readily available. Made an encouraging dent in a mountain of tasks. I recommend the Student Bees without reservation!”
