Bee removal in Montecito
Live bee removal.
A new home for the colony.
Bees in your wall, roof, tree or yard? Send photos of the entrance and surrounding area from a safe distance. We’ll explain the removal and relocation work for your Montecito property and what to expect before scheduling.
We remove bees and comb from walls, roofs, eaves, chimneys, sheds, trees, irrigation boxes, and other nesting spots in Montecito. We relocate the colony and explain any sealing or repair work needed to help prevent bees from moving back in.

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 Montecito?
Yes. We Save Bees serves Montecito 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.
Can an association submit one request for a common-area colony?
Yes. Include the exact location, safe photos and an authorized contact. Explain who controls access and can approve an opening or repair. Leave occupied covers and structures intact while the work is planned.
How soon can someone help?
Call 833-833-2337 to discuss current availability. Scheduling depends on the location, access, project scope, and crew availability.
