Bee, hive and wasp removal services
Swarms, hives, bees in walls and wasp nests are four different jobs. Call and describe what you are looking at and we will tell you which one it is.
A swarm resting in the open is the simplest job we do. Once it moves into a wall, it is a bigger one.
Honey bees are collected live and relocated whenever it is safe to do so.
The colonies we collect live go on to local beekeepers. That is the point of doing it live.

What we take calls for
These are the jobs we handle across the valley.
Bee Swarm Removal
A cluster of honey bees resting in the open with no comb built yet. Collected live and relocated.
Swarm removal
Bees in Walls
A colony that has moved into a wall, a roofline, a soffit or a chimney and is working behind it. We track down the colony, take it out and seal the way in.
Bees in walls
Beehive Removal
An established hive with wax comb you can see, on a branch, in a shed or under an eave. We remove the hive and the comb with it.

Wasp and Yellow Jacket Removal
Grey papery nests under eaves and in shrubs, and yellow jackets working a hole in the ground. The nests come down, the ground nest included.

No need to know the names. Pick the line that sounds like yours.
Work for businesses, HOAs and property managers
Same work, different paperwork. Here is what that usually looks like when the call comes from a business, an HOA board or a property manager.
We are set up for
- Scheduling around tenants, staff or residents so the area is clear while we work.
- Site access arranged in advance with whoever holds the keys, the gates and the codes.
- A written summary of what was found and what was done, for the property file.
- Repeat activity at one address, where the same void keeps drawing colonies back.
Managing more than one property? Call and we will work out the simplest way to handle it.

The right page depends on what you are looking at
Five things people ask before they know which page to read.
Can the job turn out to be a different service than the one I called about? +
Yes, and it is common. A cluster resting on a wall can be a swarm, or the outside of a colony that is already working into a gap behind it. Which one it turns out to be decides the job and the service page that applies, and the estimate is free either way.
Does the time of year change which service I am likely to need? +
Usually. Spring into early summer is swarm season in Southern California, when clusters show up resting in the open. By late summer the open clusters are mostly gone, and what people find instead is an established colony that moved into a wall or an eave months earlier, or a wasp nest that has finally grown big enough to notice.
Should I call if I only see a few bees? +
A few bees at a faucet, a pool or a flowering bush are usually foragers passing through, not a colony. A steady stream of bees going in and out of one gap, or a cluster hanging in a ball, means a colony has settled and is worth a call.
What should I do before you arrive? +
Keep people and pets clear, do not spray, and do not seal the hole they are using. Spraying kills some of the bees and makes the rest defensive, and the comb stays put either way. Sealing the entrance sends a colony looking for another way out, often into the house. Leave them be and let the traffic show us where the colony sits.
What if I have two problems at once? +
A swarm on the fence and a nest under the eave, say. Mention both when you call. A bee cluster and a wasp nest are different jobs with different gear, so we would rather plan for both than find the second one on site. Describe each spot, or send a photo of each.
Bees move fast. So do we.
Tell us what you are seeing and we will tell you what it takes to deal with it.
