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.

Bee removal in San Diego

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 San Diego 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 San Diego. We relocate the colony and explain any sealing or repair work needed to help prevent bees from moving back in.

From our project archive

Roof and landscape-enclosure rescues in San Diego

Our San Diego project archive includes an established roof colony removed by Dan and a colony in an irrigation valve box reported during landscape maintenance. The team reached the bees and comb and relocated the colonies. Your own property may need a different access and repair plan.

San Diego homes and workplaces

Start with the type of bee activity

Tell us whether you see a branch cluster, exposed comb or bees entering a structure. Include your San Diego address and a wider photo of the entrance. The location, access and established comb shape the removal work and estimate. We help you understand the removal and relocation work, what affects the estimate, and the access, cleanup and repair arrangements.

Visible activity and the type of nesting spot

Share a wide photo from a safe distance and the approximate height of the entrance. Mention previous treatments or repairs. Ask which access openings, comb cleanup, sealing, and repair arrangements are included in your estimate.

Coordinate access before scheduling

Include gate access, work-hour restrictions, and the person who can authorize access for a shared property.

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 San Diego?

Yes. We Save Bees serves San Diego 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 should I send if I cannot identify the hive?

Describe where you see bees and how long you have noticed them. Send a photo from a safe distance if you can. Do not open covers or building materials to identify the colony yourself.

How soon can someone help?

Call 833-833-2337 to discuss current availability. Scheduling depends on the location, access, project scope, and crew availability.
