-Structural Removal-

All removals and treatments are done by first identifying the nest entrance and setting up a vacuum system to capture the population as they enter or exit the hive collecting up to 95% of the population in a 30-40min period. If possible we then put the remaining yellow jackets in the hive to sleep using a proprietary method and physically remove the hive. This technique is exclusively done by Bee Friendly Honey and not other specialist. This is important because once the nest is treated with product, like many services do, yellow jackets will leave the hive and be extremely aggressive as the product normally takes 30-60min to start taking effect, spreading the pesticide coated yellow jackets into the environment where other animals such as lizards and birds can eat the dying yellow jacket and be poisoned in the process, not to mention the yellow jackets that are returning to the hive from foraging now see the hive entrance has changed in smell and looks due to the treatment and will not want to re-enter. This can cause a cloud of angry yellow jackets that persist in the area for the remainder of the day, sometimes for days and can be a hazard to you and your unsuspecting neighbors/customers in the general area. After our process has run its course normally taking about one hour, expect 5 to 10 wasps in the area for an hour or two instead of several hundred normally left by other services. We also use environmentally friendly products if needed for our treatment consisting of a diatomaceous earth base and essential oils that naturally provide insecticide type results. Service includes removal and or treatment of one nest. Additional nests will be charged out at $125 plus materials per nest. Services are guaranteed for a one season period.

Fee: $375 when located inside a structure plus materials (normally $15-$25 if needed) and drive time. In some cases several treatments may be required, drive time and materials for additional visits may be added to the total cost of service. Service includes treatment and/or removal of one nest. Additional nests will be charged out at $125 per nest. Services are guaranteed for a one season period.

Bee Friendly Honey

Lafayette, California based Bee Friendly Honey is the best place to have a honey bee swarm collected from your yard or hive carefully removed from your property without hurting any of the bees. We also remove unwanted wasps and hornet nest. Call for a free estimate!

Bee Friendly Honey offers a physical hive removal service! Steve is fully licensed and bonded, and we are entirely pesticide free. We offer a sustainable and ecologically sound way to remove pests from unwanted places: hives of removed honey bees are relocated to our apiaries that are located in the Bay Area and the foothills of the Sierras, primarily Angel's Camp and Murphys.

Hives are always removed completely: we never spray and leave the hive as is, as decaying hives and their inhabitants can attract rodents and ants who go after the honey or the larvae. Simply plugging up a hole in the wall in front of the hive will do little good---insects are crafty, and can find alternative ways into your living space!

If you’re dealing with a hive, give us a call! We are local and community focused, NOT a large pest control company! We care about the quality of services provided, and are happy to answer any questions you might have. We can usually schedule you within the week that you call. Details on each type of hive removal are below---call us for a price estimate, or with any questions!

Bee Friendly Honey produces a great tasting honey in several floral notes and pollen harvested fresh from the hive. Our products are 100% LOCAL, PURE, RAW and UNFILTERED.
