Start with what you see

Where have the bees
moved in?

You don’t need to identify the hive yourself. Tell us where you’re seeing activity, and share a photo from a safe distance if you can.

01 / OUT IN THE OPEN

A cluster on a tree
or branch

Share where the cluster is, roughly how high it is, and when you first noticed it.

02 / INSIDE A STRUCTURE

Bees entering
a wall or roof

A small entrance may lead to hidden comb. Access and cleanup affect the work involved.

A one-minute introduction to We Save Bees.

Bee removal in Costa Mesa

From a hidden colony.
To a hive frame.

In the Costa Mesa photo above, Brittany holds rescued comb and honey bees secured in a hive frame. Our Mesa Water project album also documents bees around a meter enclosure. A colony in a utility enclosure calls for an estimate of both the bees and the equipment around them; leave lids and covers in place and let us review access.

Tell us where you see bees coming and going, whether anyone has opened or treated the area before, and how long you have noticed activity.

Seeing bees entering your roof, wall, shed, or irrigation box in Costa Mesa? Send a photo of the entrance and surrounding area from a safe distance. We’ll review the situation and explain what information we need next.

Costa Mesa homes and properties

Start with the location.
Then look at access.

Whether your property is in Eastside, Westside, Mesa Verde, or another Costa Mesa neighborhood, a wide photo helps us understand the setting. Include the building or landscaping around the entrance, without approaching the bees.

Neighborhood names follow the City of Costa Mesa General Plan.

For a shared property or utility enclosure

Let us know whether you are the homeowner, tenant, property manager, or maintenance contact. If bees are near a water meter or other utility equipment, identify the enclosure from a distance and tell us who manages access.

For bees entering a wall or roof

Live removal may require an opening to reach the colony. Your estimate should explain comb cleanup, sealing, and any repair arrangements. Do not seal an active entrance before the colony is assessed.

Let’s talk about cost

The location matters.
So does the access.

There isn’t one price that fits every bee removal. A cluster on a reachable branch and a colony behind a roof can require very different work.

Share your project details so we can explain what affects your estimate.

Before you reach out

A few helpful
answers.

Still unsure? Describe the situation in the estimate form.

Do you provide live bee removal in Costa Mesa?

Yes. We Save Bees serves Costa Mesa with live honey bee removal and relocation for residential and commercial properties. Tell us where the bees are so we can review your project.

Can I get an estimate from photos?

Photos can help us understand the location and access. Hidden comb or difficult structural access may require more information or an on-site estimate before the scope and price can be confirmed.

What photos are useful?

A wider view showing the location and a closer view taken safely from a distance can help. Don’t open a box, climb, remove a panel, or disturb the colony to get a photo.

Will the opening or damaged area need repair?

Some projects require an opening to reach the colony. Ask what access, cleanup, sealing, and repair work is included in your specific estimate before work begins.

What if I’m not sure they’re honey bees?

Choose “Not Sure” in the form and describe the activity. Share an optional photo if it’s safe to do so. We may need more information to identify the appropriate next step.

What if the bees are in a water meter enclosure?

Leave the cover in place and keep clear of the bees and utility equipment. Tell us where the enclosure is and whether you manage the property. We can review what coordination or access information is needed before work is planned.
