Bee Removal Professionals Serving San Diego County, Orange County, and Riverside Country
We Save Bees specializes in the safe removal and rescue of bees from roofs, walls, chimneys, floors, trees, bushes, valve boxes, and other hard-to-reach places. Bee removals aren’t just something we do-they’re all we do!
Since 2024, our team has rescued over 15,000 colonies, ensuring they find safe homes where they can continue their vital work: pollinating our hearts, minds, and food supply.
Join us in protecting these essential pollinators-one beehive at a time!
Why should we save bees?
Bees are like tiny superheroes of the planet—pollinating over 75% of flowering plants and a huge chunk of our food! Without them, our gardens would be dull, our diets less delicious, and nature would struggle to keep up. But between habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change, bees are having a rough time. That’s where we come in! Saving bees isn’t just good for the environment-it’s the right thing to do. Every rescued colony helps keep our world buzzing, our food growing, and our planet thriving.
Superheroes come in all forms-today, it’s your turn to save the day for the bees!
The Safe and Humane Way We Rescue Bees
Not all bee removal projects are created equal-some are quick, and some require a little more finesse. But no matter the size, we’ve got you covered! It all starts with a relationship. We safely reach the bees, ensuring no harm comes to them or your property. Our “win-win-win” approach makes sure it’s good for you, good for the bees, and safe for our wranglers.
The process is simple: we carefully relocate the brood (baby bees), and the rest of the colony follows. Then, off to their forever home!
Where do my rescued bees go?
With a 95% success rate, our team safely relocates bees to loving backyard beekeepers or farms. We use a gentle, hands-on approach, respecting the bees’ natural behavior without vacuums or harsh methods. After removal, the bees are kept indoors overnight and fed for the journey ahead. We check their health, make sure they have a queen, and allow them time to recover before finding them their forever home. Bees aren’t migratory, so we minimize any moves to ensure a smooth transition.

Our Services
Success Rate
Bees start storing honey 2 days after entering an enclosure. The hive will make 10-15lbs of honeycomb per month and approximately 500-1500 bees per day. Exterminating a bee hive inside an enclosure will cause bees to re-colonize 35-100% of the time as the honey left inside will attract other bees. We Save Bees has a 99% success rate of bees NOT re-colonizing. We remove each hive live, by hand, one sheet of honeycomb at a time. We clean the area thoroughly to remove any traces of pheromones, close the entrances, and repair the opening.
Africanized Bees
We Save Bees specializes in Africanized bee removal. Africanized bees are the ‘better bee’ which are stronger and healthier, but have the same temperament and produce as much honey as your pure bred European honeybees. We have been saving bees for over 10 years and have mastered our ability to work with, relocate, and prevent Africanized bees from returning.
Bee Shortage
The World has a shortage, and without bees we will feel the effects locally as well. Southern California could lose 20+ crops that are 95-100% dependent on honeybee pollination. We Save Bees is leading the Country in successful live bee removal as 92% of our hives are relocated to farms for pollination. We have these results because We Save Bees does each removal live and by hand. We do not use ‘bee vacuums’ as they kill bees as well as the chemicals do. In Southern California, each home will average one hive per twenty years. Each home can choose to have a live bee removal. We all can make a difference… save the bees and help save the world.
Our Clients Say
Bradley Baird
Dan The Bee Man and his crew were excellent!!! We had a most EXTREME challenge for them: To remove a HUGE beehive from the side of a mountain, about 60 feet up, in La Quinta, CA! These bees were flying up and over into our pool/spa for water, causing problems with our guests who were trying to enjoy themselves on vacation, not to mention what could've happened if someone was allergic and got stung. I'm happy to report that there are no more bees around our backyard, especially in the pool/spa area.
Amber Montante
Dan was very helpful and made this experience much easier than I thought it would be. He responded with every concern I had and was very affordable! Highly recommend this service!
Marvin Ramirez
This place is great for bee conservation. I love the fact that they're trying so hard to protect and persevere bees. The world really needs them, and everyone can do a little bit to help; it would help progress the world. Definitely recommend checking it out and learning something new; heck, you might want to get in on the action too.
