There is nothing against the law if the recipient of the beekeeper's efforts
donates something to the beekeeper to help cover the expenses for his time
and effort.  Of course, the beekeeper cannot state a fee, but he can explain
the law to the people with the bee problem and that he will help but
anything donated to cover expenses would be appreciated.
