Free Swarm Removal Goleta

I received a call from SB Vector Control about saving this swarm that somehow ended up in a roadway before finding their way to this small bush.  The bees went into the box, came out, and went back in.  I left this one until after dark to give them time to settle.

Small bee swarm that was camouflaged on the side of an old avocado tree.  Swept these into a box with 4 frames and will check on them in a few weeks.

Bee Hive Removal Carpinteria

An old storage box that was hardly used made a good place for a new hive.  This hive was saved by removing comb and placing into a proper bee box. Bees were swept and the hive relocated to an avocado orchard.

Free Swarm Removal Santa Barbara

This was a swarm located just off a public space in a local condo project.  The caller wanted to make sure the bees were saved... since the association routinely called a pest company to handle - the less humane way! Notice in the video below there are two individuals just 4-5 feet from the ladder, but are perfectly safe.  Swarming bees are not aggressive or defensive.

Bee Swarm Removal Goleta

Swarm at a construction site - this is a pre-fab box for a chimney.  Workers and bees happy to be relocated to a local farm.
