We try to use the most organic and humane methods when relocating colonies
First, always maintain a safe distance from bees! You should call a beekeeper if you see a cluster of bees (typically the size of a basketball, but it can be bigger or smaller). If you notice a continuous stream of bees coming from a structure, this is a sign that you have a colony living in a specific area. You don't need to call if you see bees buzzing around your garden on flowers and other plants. These are typically forager bees just doing their job to get food for their colony. Bees in your pool or other water source could be an indication of a nearby colony, but usually, they're just thirsty forager bees seeking water.
Yes, no bee colony is too aggressive for us to help relocate. We have protective gear that keeps us safe during the process. Once at one of our beeyards, we can correct any "spicy" behavior through a process called requeening, where we replace the feral queen with one that has been bred with more docile genetics. The rest of the colony remains unharmed and continues its natural life cycle.
We have several apiary spaces throughout San Diego County. In these rural spaces, the bees can live their natural lives free from disruptions, away from humans and animals. Here, we rehabilitate any weak colonies, requeen aggressive hives, provide supplemental feeding, treat for Varroa mites, and generally help these colonies reach their fullest potential.
Unless you have prior beekeeping experience, completed beekeeping courses (we recommend the Penn State Extension Course), or working with a mentor, we do not recommend keeping the bees yourself. If you neglect your bees, they can become aggressive, become a hotspot for mites and viruses that damage wild bee populations, and pose potential hazards to pets, neighbors, and anyone nearby.
You can help bee populations by planting a native pollinator-friendly garden (UC Davis Guide), avoiding pesticides around your house, garden, or business, and always calling a reputable beekeeper when dealing with any bee colony issues.
Please notify all nearby neighbors to be cautious during the scheduled date and time. We recommend limiting outdoor activities, keeping all pets indoors, and ensuring all windows and doors are shut. A typical removal lasts 2-3 hours, but we suggest remaining cautious until we have collected the colony.
