Ever see that great YouTube compilation of Cat's taking over Dog beds? Well, cats aren't the only creatures that like to take over another animals' space. Bees do it too! In particular they love birdhouses and owl boxes. It actually makes sense if you think about it. Both bird houses and owl boxes are perfectly [...]
It's a fact. Bees often enter homes and structures through attic ventilation holes. It's one of the more common places bees enter in order to build their hives. It actually makes sense if you think about it. Once the swarm is inside the attic they can build a hive in a place that is up [...]
San Diego, which is known for it's great climate, has been giving it's citizens some surprising weather these past few weeks. First we had a four day heat wave. Then the heat was enhanced by a dose of Monsoonal Humidity. Then it was followed by an unexpected summer storm. The storm caught America's Finest city off guard. [...]
This blog goes out to all our customers who call us as a last resort after trying to take care of a bee problem themselves. Some people call you DIY'ers (Do it yourself). Others may call you crazy or brave, depending on who you talk to. We here at Bee Best like to call you [...]
People love to watch live bee removals. It happens quite a lot these days. Not too long ago, Jeff "The Bee Whisperer" Lutz was sent out to remove a swarm from under a table in the middle of a busy outdoor food court at the mall. During the removal, a crowd formed and people began recording [...]

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 [...]
