Whenever possible, we relocate healthy honey bee colonies rather than exterminating them, helping preserve California’s valuable pollinator population.
Live Honey Bee Removal
Honey bees are vital to agriculture and native ecosystems, but they shouldn’t be living inside your home or business.
Our live bee removal process is designed to safely relocate the entire colony—including the queen—to a managed apiary whenever conditions allow. Removing the full colony helps prevent bees from returning while protecting these important pollinators.
Our humane approach is effective, environmentally responsible, and preferred whenever relocation is a safe option.
Bee Hive Removal
A successful bee removal involves much more than removing the bees you can see.
Established colonies often contain:
- Thousands of honey bees
- Honeycomb
- Wax
- Honey stores
- Developing brood
Leaving hive materials behind can attract future swarms, ants, rodents, and other pests while causing odors or damage to your home.
Bee Specialist removes accessible honeycomb and hive materials whenever possible to help prevent recurring infestations.
Bee Removal From Walls, Attics & Roofs
Hidden bee colonies are common throughout Santa Barbara and the surrounding communities.
We frequently remove bees from:
- Exterior walls
- Stucco walls
- Attics
- Rooflines
- Chimneys
- Garages
- Sheds
- Decks
- Trees
- Palm trees
- Irrigation valve boxes
- Utility enclosures
- Outdoor structures
Every removal begins with a careful inspection to determine the safest and least invasive removal method.
Bee Swarm Removal
Bee swarms can suddenly appear on trees, shrubs, fences, vehicles, patios, and homes.
Although swarming bees are often less defensive than established colonies, they should always be handled by trained professionals.
Fast response allows us to safely relocate many swarms before they establish permanent hives inside nearby structures.
