However, we also want to ensure that your home and workplace are safe for those that walk around. We know that bees can find themselves building nests in places like roofs, floors, valve boxes, and other tough to reach spots that feel safe to a bee.

1) Gain access to a hive without sacrificing the structural integrity of a location whether that be your home, your shed or a tree.

2) Find and extract the baby bees as this will be what will attract the rest of the worker bees out as well as the queen.

3) Expedite the eviction process by scooping bees out by hand and creative use of smoke.

4) Clean up the location, treat for pheromones, seal entrances, close up what we opened, and make it pretty.

5) Test our seals, collect the remaining clump of bees.

6) Celebrate, rejoice and sample some honey.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row_full_center_content” margin_bottom=”-30″ padding_top=”20″ padding_bottom=”0″][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Common Bee Problems And Questions

1.Find the hive, block off potential areas they may hide in/move further into

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]


2.Remove sheets of brood (bee babies) and attach them to the bee frames

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1484566225356{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]


3.Scoop handful of bees to physically move them from their home into the transport boxes to stimulate fanning behavior. This releases their pheromone which says “we are moving”

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]


4.As the bees continue to fan and acclimate to their new home we nudge the bees in the old home out with smoke and pungent essential oils which helps them vacate quicker.

1.Smoke the bees to calm them and disrupt their ability to communicate. Open the lid to reveal the hive.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]


1.Remove brood (bee babies) and attach them to beekeeping frames and put them in the transport boxes. Scoop as many bees out as possible and facilitate the rest out using smoke.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]


1.Clean up pipes, wires, and scrape honey comb off underneath the edges. Treat for pheromones so bees looking for a new home will less likely come back here. Without treatment, it’s a high probability bees will move back in.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]


1.If the lid is not entirely saturated, we will clean and screen off the entrance. If it is too saturated, we recommend a new lid as the pheromone treatment doesn’t take to the lid effectively.

1.Cut open the drywall to reveal the beehive.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]


2.Remove brood (honeycomb with bee babies) and attach them to frames. Remove the rest of the hive and scoop bees out and into their temporary mobile home.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]


2.Treat for pheromones. Bees communicate by smell, so we eliminate what makes this smell like a home.

4.Fill the cavity with insulation to deter bees from entering.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]


5. Seal entry ways. Install cross braces for structural integrity, re-attach drywall sheets, patch the wall. We do not texture or paint match unless previously agreed upon.

1.We through stucco, with the attempts to keep the
slate as whole as possible. The older a wall is, the more
challenging this becomes.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]


2.Depending on construction, we may need to cut
through plywood as well.

4.Remove the honey comb, remove the bees, treat the
pheromones to help prevent future hives and fill
the cavity with insulation to deter bees
from entering again.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]


5. Seal up any entrances, install cross braces to secure
the panel, new tar paper as needed, base coat stucco to
fill the gaps. Our service does not
include texturing and paint matching.

1.Smoke the bees to calm them and disrupt their ability to communicate. Cut out a 2′ x 2′ section of wall

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]


2.Remove individual sheets of honey comb and attach the brood (bee babies) to frames and into the box. This is what will draw the bees out of your home and into our box.

3.Once the bees are out, we treat the area to get rid of the pheromones, otherwise the likelihood of another hive moving back in will be too great.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]


4. We fill the rest of the cavity with insulation to deter wandering bees from entry. seal any potential entrances and re-attach the wood panel.

1.Upon inspection, beekeepers will look for are eggs, tiny grains of rice at the bottom of the cells. The queen is typically hard to find, eggs mean there is an active queen within the last 1-3 days.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]


2.Double checked for diseases, mites and other potential stress factors. They also look for this brood pattern, the tighter the cells, the stronger the queen.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1484566225356{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]


3.Strong hives get a new permanent home. Weaker hives and queen-less colonies are merged with other hives for improved survivability. Problematic hives are isolated until corrected.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]


4.Beehives are adopted by beekeepers throughout San Diego, Riverside, Orange County and end up on local farms or backyards and roof tops throughout the city.
