If you’re searching for Burbank bee removal, Bee Specialist provides fast, professional, and humane bee removal services for homeowners, businesses, HOAs, studios, and commercial properties throughout Burbank. Whether you’ve discovered a bee swarm in your yard, a hive inside your walls, or bees entering your attic, our experienced technicians safely remove and relocate honey bee colonies whenever possible.

For decades, Bee Specialist has helped property owners throughout Burbank solve bee and wasp problems using environmentally responsible methods. From residential neighborhoods to commercial districts and studio properties, we provide prompt response times, expert workmanship, and complete hive removal services.

Why Bees Settle in Burbank

Burbank backs onto the Verdugo Mountains, and hillside canyons like Wildwood, Stough and Brace Canyon are home to wild honey bee colonies. In spring, their swarms move down into nearby yards. Burbank’s housing gives them plenty of places to nest: post-war ranch homes with open eaves, older bungalows and Spanish-style homes in Magnolia Park, and barns, stables and hay storage on the horse properties of the Rancho District. We most often find colonies in roof eaves, stucco walls, block walls, sheds and barns.

Professional Bee Removal and Wasp Removal in Burbank

Burbank’s warm Southern California climate, mature trees, and residential neighborhoods create ideal conditions for honey bees and other stinging insects throughout the year. While honey bees are valuable pollinators, they can become a safety concern when colonies establish themselves inside homes, businesses, schools, warehouses, office buildings, or entertainment facilities.

Bee Specialist provides complete bee and wasp removal services, including:

• Live honey bee removal
• Bee hive removal
• Bee swarm removal
• Humane bee relocation
• Honeycomb removal

• Roof and chimney bee removal

• Residential bee removal
• Commercial bee removal
• Emergency bee removal
• Wasp removal
• Yellow jacket removal
• Hornet removal

Whenever possible, we safely relocate healthy honey bee colonies instead of exterminating them, helping preserve California’s valuable pollinator population.

Live Honey Bee Removal in Burbank

Honey bees play a vital role in California’s ecosystem, but they don’t belong inside homes or businesses.

Our live bee removal process safely relocates the entire colony—including the queen—to a managed apiary whenever conditions allow. Relocating the complete colony helps prevent future infestations while protecting healthy honey bee populations.

Bee Hive Removal in Burbank

Successfully solving a bee infestation requires more than removing the visible bees.

Established colonies often contain:

• Thousands of honey bees
• Honeycomb
• Honey stores
• Wax
• Developing brood

Leaving honeycomb behind can attract future swarms, ants, rodents, and other pests while causing odors and structural damage. Our complete hive removal service includes removing accessible honeycomb whenever possible to help prevent recurring infestations.

Bees in Burbank Walls, Attics & Roofs

Many bee colonies remain hidden until property owners notice increased bee activity around small openings in walls, eaves, or rooflines.

We regularly remove bees from:

• Exterior walls
• Stucco walls
• Attics
• Rooflines
• Chimneys
• Garages
• Sheds
• Trees
• Palm trees
• Decks
• Irrigation valve boxes
• Utility enclosures

Every removal begins with a detailed inspection to determine the safest and most effective removal strategy.

Bee Swarm Removal in Burbank

Bee swarms commonly appear during the spring and early summer on:

• Trees
• Shrubs
• Fences
• Vehicles
• Patios
• Homes
• Commercial buildings

Although swarming honey bees are generally less defensive than established colonies, they should always be removed by trained professionals.

Prompt removal often allows the colony to be relocated before it establishes a permanent hive. Swarms peak in March through May; see our guide to bee swarm season.

Wasp Removal in Burbank

Not every stinging insect is a honey bee.

Bee Specialist also removes:

• Wasp nests
• Yellow jacket nests
• Hornet nests
• Paper wasp nests

Our technicians correctly identify the insect species before recommending the safest removal solution. Learn more about our wasp, yellow jacket and hornet removal.

Same-Day Emergency Bee Removal in Burbank

Aggressive bee or wasp activity requires immediate attention.

We provide emergency response for:

• Aggressive bee colonies
• Large swarms
• Active wasp nests
• Bees entering homes
• Schools
• Office buildings
• Studios
• Restaurants
• Retail centers
• Public gathering areas

Our technicians respond promptly to restore safety while using humane live bee removal whenever possible.

Bee Removal for Burbank Studios and Businesses

Burbank is home to working studio lots, sound stages and production offices, and a bee colony near a set or office can stop work fast.

I found bees in my backyard and wanted to find someone that would relocate them, not exterminate them. I called the Bee Removal Specialist. They came in less than 30 minutes after I called and quickly removed the bees. It was a very easy and quick process and would definitely use them again. 🐝

I saw some bees flying around the back of my house and called Ron. He quickly gave me a quote and was able to schedule me right away. Everyone I spoke with was very friendly and informative over the phone. Daniel, the technician, arrived on time, was very professional, and explained the entire process clearly. They uncovered a huge beehive and removed it in under two hours. I would definitely recommend their services!

I'm happy to be able to leave a 5 star review for Ron and Daniel, his assistant. Many of the bee control businesses have similar names. We got in touch with Ron after seeing a google search and seeing his website. It appears they service LA county, Ventura and Santa Barbara. They were listed under "free" but it wasn't free. It was $250 with a discount of 10% for seniors.
I'm a gardener and I could not imagine myself killing this innocent swarm of bees. Ron assured me the bees would be relocated to another situation. You should have brought us a little jar of honey. Within less than 3 hours after our initial call, Daniel B, his technician was at our property and had removed the bees. I have photos. they have a box about twice the size of a shoebox, it must smell good in there because the bees just fly in, when the queen flies in the bees make a special sound. I like to think of it as a happy sound.
They are listed as exterminators but I think of them as bee rescuers, it was worth every bit of the $225.

Super informative and responsive. All contact to set up the visit was actually via text and I never felt ignored. Tech was scheduled the same morning and showed up within 10 min. He conducted the inspection, sprayed repellent, and helped to add screens to our chimneys to keep uninvited houseguests from buzzing into the house.

When we called Natalie quickly called us back. Not like all the other places we called.  Dan the technician that came out was professional, knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. Highly recommend them if you want to remove bees without just killing them like most places do.

Had our first yellow-jacket hornet's nest - in the ground ivy. Very aggressive, stung the housekeeper and myself while using the trash barrels. Called Bee Removal Specialist who came out the next day and neutralized it. Haven't seen a hornet since. Great work!

Burbank Bee Removal FAQs

How much does bee removal cost in Burbank?

Bee removal in Burbank starts at $250 to $375 for a new hive and $500 to $750 for an established hive. Those are minimums: the final price depends on where the colony is, how hard it is to reach, and how much honeycomb has to come out. Seniors, military and first responders get 10% off.

Do you relocate honey bees?

Yes. Whenever possible, healthy honey bee colonies are safely relocated rather than exterminated. See what happens to relocated bees at our farm.

Can bees or wasps return after removal?
