So you wake up one morning and notice a swarm of bees sitting on a tree near the front of your home. Or maybe you take your dog for a walk and notice a hive in an irrigation box along the way. Who do you call? Who is responsible for having them removed? Well according [...]
Live Bee Removal is term that can be misleading. Depending on who you hire it may not mean what you think it does. You see, technically a live bee removal is when bees are alive during the removal process. It doesn't necessarily mean the bees will remain alive or be relocated to a safe place. [...]
It's been a while since I last posted a video that featured a local beekeeper who has received one of our bee swarm rescues. The video below was taken earlier this year. It features Beekeeping Society member John, who owns a small farm out in Jamul. He manages bee hives primarily to pollinate the avocado [...]
Like a video game, removing a bee hive can be fun and challenging. Every job is different and so is the complexity depending on how hard the hive is to reach and how aggressive the bees are. Recently while editing footage of a live swarm removal, I noticed that one of the clips reminded me [...]
Can you tell the difference between a bee swarm and a bee hive? If not, don't worry. Most of the customers I speak with on the phone have no idea. Heck, before I worked here at Bee Best Bee Removal, I didn't have a clue either. So why is it important to know the difference? [...]

It is with great pride I present this week's video of rescued bees being dropped at the farm. Due to popular demand we decided to show another swarm being dropped off at the bee clinic. The last video we posted a few weeks ago was great, but the swarm was rather small. The swarm in [...]
Bee Removal jobs come in all shapes and sizes. Some can be very difficult, especially if the bees are aggressive or if the colony is hard to reach. Others can be fun and rewarding. The video in this blog post is of the fun and rewarding kind. Jeff went out to a home in Pacific [...]
What if there was a place...a public space...where hobbyists and commercial beekeepers could legally place their hive boxes? Imagine what that could do for our native bee population here in San Diego. On June 18th 2014, The San Diego Board of Supervisors began exploring the idea of public land use for beekeeping. Last May, the [...]
Everyone always wants to know what we do with the bees once they are removed from the customers' property. About 99% of our bees are taken to a bee clinic for rehabilitation. I know that sounds crazy but it's true! You see, wild bees in San Diego are hybridized. What does that mean? It means [...]
