free removalsCheck the Anarchist Beekeeping Collective (ABC) and the list of Monterey Bay Beekeepers. You may get lucky and find someone to remove your bees for free! These beekeepers are most interested in wild swarms and not in removing established hives from structures.
exterminationExtermination is the cheapest alternative but be aware that the poisoned hive and dead bees remain in your walls, and will attract more bees. If you choose to exterminate, there are lots of companies in your phone directory. |
some adviceBees start swarming in spring and continue through the summer and into the fall. These are new queens searching for homes for their colonies. Swarms may settle in the vegetation of your yard overnight or for a few days but will soon move on to find a better location. Bees in swarms are not likely to sting; they are not protecting a hive. These are the bees that hobbyist beekeepers are wanting. You may watch and enjoy this amazing phenomenon or call a hobbyist from ABC to come and collect them for a hive.
