Saturday morning shenanigans

We spent our morning at the Mirage apartment complex handling a bee removal. Because apparently Saturday mornings are for coffee, chaos, and crawling into places you probably shouldn’t be crawling into. 😂🐝

Another day, another bee rescue!

Sometimes bees choose the most unexpected places to call home.

These bees had moved into a birdhouse at a customer’s home, so instead of destroying the colony, we carefully removed the entire birdhouse and brought it back to our yard.

Now they have a safe place to settle in and continue doing what bees do best.

We recently partnered with Cal Water, and it’s been an amazing opportunity to safely relocate honey bee colonies from water meter boxes and other utility equipment.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to help protect these colonies while providing a safe solution when bees turn up where they shouldn’t.

✨🐝 ✨Relocate. Don’t Exterminate.

This one took some serious work, but that’s exactly what we love about what we do.

Protecting the bees. Respecting the property. Giving the colony a chance to keep doing what bees do best.

🐝 We love getting to do the work that most people never get to see.

This colony was inside a wood cutout, so we carefully opened it up to reach the bees and relocate them safely.

Every colony is different, every removal presents its own challenge, and that’s a big part of why we love what we do.

What’s hiding underneath the shingles?

A LOT of bees.

This was one of those removals where you don’t truly understand the size of the colony until you start opening things up. Multiple layers of comb had been built beneath the roof, tucked into a space the bees had claimed as their own.

These removals take patience, precision, and a whole lot of respect for the structure we’re working on. Our goal is always to remove the colony while preserving as much of the existing structure as possible.

Another beautiful bee removal from a stucco pillar!

We’ve actually been called to this same pillar a few times over the years. The bees were removed, but the cavity at the top was never completely sealed, leaving an opening for another colony to move right back in.

This is such a great example of why proper bee removal and preventative maintenance go hand in hand. When the job is done correctly from the start, it can save homeowners from dealing with the same problem again and again.
