Chris is an expert in his field, reasonably priced and I highly recommend him to anyone with a bee issue!!!

Chris is the best. Fun, knowledgable and dedicated! We had a honey bee hive somewhere in the dry wall of our equipment shed and it turned out to be a huge hive of over 70,000+ bees! Cleared out in a day all thanks to Chris. Thank you! read more

We had honeybees in the ceiling of our house. Chris managed to extract them within a day, and in the meantime it was a pleasure getting to know him. He is friendly, funny, passionate about his job, and enjoys sharing his knowledge about honeybees. We came away with a wealth of new information about bees, and (more importantly) no more bees in our walls. Thank you Chris! read more

Quick response on a Saturday - job well done! Thorough and quick - explained the process and executed the plan!

Highly highly recommend Chris at bee conscious! I had a horrible yellow jacket problem at my house and was seeing 25-40 a day. He came out without an appointment and took care of the problem. My fiancée is extremely allergic to yellow jackets and I couldn't take the risk of her being stung! Chris responded immediately and within a few days after he sprayed all of the yellow jackets were gone. Cannot thank him enough and am forever grateful that he kept my fiancée safe. Please contact him if you ever have a bee problem. 5 stars is not good enough for the work he does. read more

Had a large oak tree branch fall on my house due to a bee hive. Was a very sticky situation. Chris was able to vacuum them all out from both sides (and take offside to be released into the wild, or someone else's oak tree) of the tree, which we were very impressed with. Now i can focus on removing the oak branch without getting stung. Highly recommend. read more

Quickly responded to my request for removal of a yellow jacket nest found close to my front door following a sting in Cazadero. Completely understood the urgency given we have young children at home. Came out early the next morning and was all done within an hour. Yellow Jackets gone and provided us with a good education on how to keep them away in the future. Really appreciated the professional and efficient service. read more

Chris is great! I will use him for all of our bee needs! Friendly and professional. I recommend him. Five stars! read more

Simply, the best. Absolutely the quickest response ever, and removed a colony of honey bees behind a wall on the exterior of my home. I would highly recommend this professional. read more

Discovered bees nesting in out house wall - Chris did the id from the 1st picture, came early afternoon, treated the nest from the exterior and there was no activity the next day, so I removed it today, a few were still barely alive in the hive. LOVED his quick action and non pesticide treatment for this problem! read more

After my second bee sting on my head in three weeks and my first experience with an epi pen, I immediately called Chris at Bee Conscious to remove an established hive in my exterior wall of my old shingled ranch house in Saint Helena. He came the very next day and, discovering that they were extremely aggressive and probably Africanized bees, he spent the day, and into the night, safely removing the very large hive with thousands of bees, the queen, and removing traces so no bees will return. When I called the next morning and was worried that there were still some bees flying around, he returned and re-examined the situation and remedied any remaining bees. Professional, knowledgeable, and very friendly and able to take the time to explain what's going on with the process. Thank you Chris! I know who to call should I have any other bee problems in the future. read more

Fast response, professional and personable! I thought we had a small project but it ended up being a big one after Chris got into the wall. Colony had likely been there for 10 months and was enormous and well-established. Extremely knowledgeable. His pricing is fair and he has an inspiring story if you have some time! read more

Chris was so helpful and so fast to respond. I called because there were two bushes with about 50 bees flying in and out of them right by the front door. He arrived to our property about 15 minutes after I called. Very friendly and knowledgeable. He informed me that the bees were just feeding on the flower buds and that they were harmless. I learned that as long as the bees homes are not in the plant or nearby, they are harmless and will not attack, they are simply feeding. He even opened the plant up and waved his hands all around the bees and they did not sting him they were just flying around. I got some good bee education and I know who to call for any future concerns. Also there's no fee but he accepts donations to go towards a box he pays $250 for when he actually needs to relocate any bees I believe. Very thankful for him and the work he's doing for our eco system!!! read more

I called Chris after I noticed a large honey bee swarm in my olive tree. He arrived at my property with in 15minutes.Quick! He was up on the ladder with all his bee equipment and retrieved the bees in no time flat! Very impressed with his attention to detail, kindness, professional manner and honey bee education. I would not hesitate to use Bee Conscious removal services again and would refer this company to friends and family. read more

I called Chris after discovering a hive in the wall of our studio. We had used foam to try to block them from entering the hive but they chewed through the foam. One of the first things Chris said was not to use foam. If anything use steel wool as bees can't chew through that. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about bees. He came up did his work and took the bees away to rehab them. Be forewarned it can get messy. In our case, the hive was behind a shower which had to be cut out in order to access the hive. We also had ants due to the honey. It was costly but well worth the money. I feel better knowing the bees have a better home. I would definitely use him again. Hope we won't need to. read more

Fast and friendly service. Chris came out on a Saturday evening (on a holiday weekend, no less!) to help us with a nasty underground yellow jacket nest in my backyard. They were terrorizing us and our dogs and he got it handled quickly! I know if they come back he is here to help. Really nice guy, prompt and honest. Would do business again with him in a heartbeat. read more

We watched a swarm of bees take up residence in our house. Chris was very responsive to our call same day. He was out the next day to complete the removal. He talked us through the steps and was able to get the bees out of a very difficult location. We appreciated his knowledge and guidance to address things to avoid further bee residents Felt good about saving the bees too. read more

Early this week I was in my garage when I heard what sounded like a dull motor noise outside. My neighbors who were on their deck when I stepped outside got my attention and said "look up in the sky toward your roof line." Looking up I saw what appeared to be thousand of bees swarming around. After about 30 minutes they attached themselves to the side wall of my house. An hour later they appeared gone but upon further investigation I noticed they were penetrating a cavity near my roof through a small hole. Not knowing what to do I jumped on the internet to research bee removal companies in my area. My attention was drawn to "Bee Conscious" in Santa Rosa. I called and spoke with owner Chris who told me what was most likely going on. He showed up in about an hour (wow, amazing!) He when over the details of the environmentally safe procedure he uses. We agreed on the price and yesterday he was back in the morning to start the initial work. He removed what appeared to be a basketball size nest. He then said the other half of the hive was out working and gathering food and would be back in the early evening and so would he. At 8:30 he was back and removed a final volleyball size nest of bees. This morning I got up on the roof and checked things out. I didn't notice a single bee flying around. I have to say Chis is a bee guru. He definitely knows his stuff. Chris is prompt, efficient and professional. If you have a bee problem, Chris is the guy to contact. I highly recommend his services.

Chris the owner is a great man! He is very prompt and on the ball when it comes to removing Vas. He showed up very soon and handle the job like a professional. I recommend him to everyone and anyone in Sonoma County read more

After being lied to by another company Chris took it upon himself to make sure we were taken care of. Came quickly and explained everything throughout the process. Professional, extremely knowledgeable and a great sense of humor. Couldn't recommend him more! Chris saved the day! read more

I Bumble Bees living in a my house. I have tried several Bee Keeper groups help me remove them. No one called me back or answered my requests. Chris answered the phone when I call on a Saturday morning. He gave me advice how to fix my problem without taking my home apart. His knowledge about the bees was invaluable. He suggested fixes to insure the bees did not come back. We will call on Chris again when we are ready to add a hive to our property! read more

Thank you for coming on short notice on a Sunday and taking care of the yellow jackets!

Chris was absolutely fantastic! We discovered a nasty yellow jacket hive in one of our backyard bushes and I called him and he was at our place within an hour, taking care of the removal of the nest. Chris is incredibly polite, personable, knowledgable, professional and solved our yellow jacket problem permanently. He showed up exactly when he said he would and took care of everything in less then 20 minutes. His rates are right on par with the quotes that trickled in later that afternoon, as I began receiving return phone calls from the voice messages that I left with other pest control companies. Out of the 8-10 other pest control companies that I called, not only did he answer the phone when I called, but he was the only one that was available on the same day. I had a bee problem and within an hour of calling Chris I no longer had a bee problem. Promptness and reliability like that is rare these days. He's a really nice guy that I'd recommend to anyone looking for a service provider to help take care of their bee problem. Lastly, if you have pets or children - instead of spraying any dangerous pesticides that I'd have to worry about my dog getting sick from, he took care of things 100% organically. A definite bonus in my book. Thank you again Chris! read more

I called Chris with an urgent need to have honey bees removed from a dead tree stump. He came out the next day and was able to remove and relocate the bees successfully. His service was both professional and efficient and I would use him again should the need arise. Janine @ Christopherson Builders read more

Very disrespectful over the phone, spoke in a demeaning and disrespectful tone after I explained I could not afford his high price for bee removal. I love honey bees and certainly don't want to see them harmed, and insinuating that I do because I won't pay your price is not the way to earn anyone's trust or business. read more

Had an unseen swarm of yellow jackets make their way from an attic nest to the interior of the house one morning. Chris was at my house in under an hour and neutralized the nest efficiently. Friendly guy and quite knowledgable. Highly recommended! read more

One star for not telling the truth! The allegation is that some children were in the area playing the day that we discovered the shed had been smashed. This is an adult mobile home park. It is doubtful that a child would have a size 10 shoe. That was the size of shoe impression left on the top of the shed. read more

Chris did an exceptional job with removing a hive that had formed inside the walls of our home. Chris was extremely knowledgeable and took great care not to damage wiring behind the wall which would have created an even larger problem and cost than the hive itself. What I enjoyed was Chris' knowledge and context for honey bees and the care he took to ensure that the bees were properly cared for. I would call Chris for any other bee issues in the future without hesitation. read more

Chris provided excellent service - he responded immediately to my call and was able to remove a bumble bee hive for me the next day. Very professional. I highly recommend him. read more

A swarm of bees invaded our house! Youtube videos we watched suggested we should expect an expensive and invasive removal process. But when Christopher of "Bee Conscious Removal" came to give us a quote the next day, he saw that it was likely the bees were not happy with this nest location and would not stay. Sure enough, two days later the bees were gone! His willingness to share his expertise with us probably saved us thousands of dollars. read more

I bought a house that came with a bee hive in the walls. Knowing that we need to preserve as many bees as possible. He came out....removed the bees (90 pounds of bees) and took them back to his property in Santa Rosa so they can live a happy life somewhere besides the inside of my walls. Not cheap, but he did a great job!! Highly recommend. read more

I highly recommend Chris for honey bee removal. Chris removed two large bee colonies from the soffit at the peak of my very steep and high roof. He had to remove a large section of the fasica, vacuum out hundreds of bees, and cut out slabs of honeycomb. This process involved standing for several hours in the hot sun on a small cherry picker type lift. He returned at dusk to capture the remaining bees who had initially fled during the removal. The whole project went smoothly. He was very responsive and professional. I learned a lot from him about bees, and respect his commitment to extracting and relocating them to a place where they will be safe. read more

Chris was great to work with. We had an older hive 30 feet up in the soffit of a commercial building. He came out with a cherry picker lift and transported all the bees (except some stragglers) away. He repaired the soffit so it's hard to tell he was even there. I hope not to have a bee problem again, but if we do, he'll be the one to call. Great service, saving the hive, and good to talk with as well. What else to expect from a guy with a model bee on the hood of us truck?! I learned a lot in the process. read more

Chris Conrad came the same day we called him and took care of our wasp problem. They were going between the cracks in our house into the attic. He treated them quickly and humanely. read more

Thanks Chris for the speedy service and safe removal of our bee swarm! So efficient and responsive. You have a clear passion for the bees and the work you do! Thanks!!! read more

Great customer service. Talked me through my problem - offered a couple solutions and felt confident my issue wasn't as big as I feared! Thanks for the info and time. I can tell Chris brings great customer service to his jobs. read more

Excellent! Chris is a real pro and gives the customer an education on bee migration and nesting. Don't cut corners....call Chris. Do it right the first time. read more

Chris was prompt, efficient and extremely knowledgeable about types of bees, their habits and activity. He cares about bees!! and treats them with great respect, humanely capturing and removing them to a new, safe location. What more can one ask? A big thanks!! read more

"Great advertising!" I thought to myself when I first spotted the Bee Conscious truck driving down College Ave. this morning in Santa Rosa. The truck was in the left lane behind a car that looked unsure of which street they wanted to turn left on. The driver of the Bee Conscious tailgated the slow moving vehicle while throwing his hands up in the air. He then aggressively passed the car while flipping the driver off and zooming past me in the right lane. That was not great advertising. Perhaps the person driving should remember his manners when in the company vehicle. If/when I need bee related services in the future, I will not use this company. read more

Met with Chris this morning at an office building my office manages. I was impressed by his knowledge of bees and his ability to easily explain the behavior of bees to the tenant and I. I would definitely give him a call for our next bee issue. read more
