Such a fun and unique experience! After a friend recently got into beekeeping, we thought this would be a perfect way to celebrate her birthday. Our guide Luke was very knowledgeable and did an awesome job explaining the process of beekeeping! And Ryan also helped out as well! Putting on the suits and getting to hold the slats of the bee box was such a cool feeling and you don't realize how loud they can be :) We even got to see the queen crawling around! Our tour included tasting honey from different regions which was interesting to find out that they all had their own flavor. The one from New York was my favorite which tasted like an otter pop :) Thank you to Travis and the team for a great morning and if you are interested in a unique/fun experience book a tour now!!! read more

Ben and Travis worked for hours and hours on this stubborn hive in my irrigation box, eventually getting them safely moved to a new location in an agricultural area. I highly recommend Bee Leaf USA. They really seem to know their stuff. read more

BEE LEAF USA - a beehive full of bees - Honey Near Me

Travis and his crew at BeeLeafUSA have been my mentors in beekeeping since I started nearly 3 years ago. Their experience and knowledge is unmatched in the industry. But what really separates their company from the rest is their commitment to customer service and sustainable, environmentally friendly practices. When I first decided to start beekeeping as a hobby, I must have contacted nearly a dozen other companies who advertised rescue and relocating, selling colonies with set up and full service instruction. However, until I found beeleaf, none of these other companies were able to even tell me when or if they would be able to provide me with a hive. I learned quickly that there are a lot of companies out there that really just make money from removal, and despite assurances and advertising that they safely relocate the hives, they rarely do. This is because, again, they are focused on removal and they don't really engage or invest the time into actual beekeeping. Bee Leaf on the other hand is fully invested and committed to being a force for positive change and improvement of our ecosystems. Travis understands the vital role pollinators play in the healthy and sustainable production of our food supply. Yet, in addition to being an expert beekeeper, he brings education and informed innovation as added value when teaching and consulting in all areas of environmental stewardship. Whether its helping a backyard beekeeping hobbyist, coaching on how to strategically integrate hives into a small fruit farm restoration project like mine, partnering with large well-established farmers and horticulturalists, or building a cutting edge urban rooftop garden, BeeLeaf is your full service powerhouse. I consider myself blessed to have connected with BeeLeaf because I know it will result in valuable service and sustenance for others for years to come. read more

I sent Marco a text after having issues with bees living under my shed and he was able to come out THAT evening to check them out. He took a look around, gave me an estimate, and said it would be a few days given their location and the amount of work until he could get me on the schedule. I received an email quote the next day to approve and was sent follow up information on date and time of arrival of the project. I loved the additional information and knowing the bees are actually being relocated and not killed. The floor in my shed had to be cut out to get to the hive and it was all cleaned and replaced. It's hard to tell that there was even a hole. He even sent me a video so I could see what it looked like under my shed. The bee box was set up out of the way and Marco came back after sunset to pick it back up. I highly recommend this company and as much as I hope to never have to call them again - they will BEE my first choice. read more

I used Bee Leaf USA for a hive relocation for a honey bee nest that I found in my front yard in the water utility box at my home in Eastlake, Chula Vista. I noticed the hive on a Saturday afternoon and found Bee Leaf after doing a search for eco-friendly bee removal. I called the number and Travis picked up on a late Saturday afternoon and walked me through the process. We scheduled an appointment for early in the week. John at Bee Leaf USA came out, got into his gear and transferred the nest. Their new temporary home was placed next to the utility box for the rest of the day so the rest of the hive could join their colony. After the sun went down John returned and collected the box and took the hive to their new home. John was professional, courteous, enthusiastic and answered all my questions. I considere myself fortunate to have the services of Bee Leaf USA for eco-friendly bee removal and relocation. read more

Found Bee Leaf after a massive swarm of bees engulfed our home, blocking our exit and making it difficult to come in and out of the house. My partner had left her car windows open and there were dozens of bees just in her car, stopping her from going to work. Travis picked up the phone right away and worked with us over the next few hours. He was so great, and so responsive. He had us send him photos of the bees several times and explained that they were a swarm that had likely had their nest destroyed and were looking for a new one. He calmed my partner and explained that since they had no home to defend, we didn't need to worry much about getting stung and could go in and out of the home and she could drive her car, without worry. He also talked me through the bees process of colonizing and explained the bees process and instructed us on what to do, and a timeline. Of course, he was spot on and in a few hours they just up and decided to leave. He was so helpful, responsive and was going to come that afternoon to relocate them for us. Thanks again Travis@! read more

Marco and his company went beyond extremes Massive need issues that were eliminated thoroughly Marco was very professional and worked in a very positive manner Recommend very highly!!!!!! read more

Having a bee hive in your walls isn't fun. An unexpected cost, swarms around the area and the possibility of honey combs where you don't want them. However, Justin turned the situation into a wonderful experience with his competent crew and his expertise that didn't break the bank. I could not be happier with Bee Leaf. Justin is a person who has found his passion and purpose in life and his crew are just as delightful. These people love their work. read more

Travis from Bee Leaf is amazing. Responded promptly to my phone inquiry, was able to assess situation with a photos sent via email. He is super knowledgeable and really cares about the bees. He removed a hive from under a plywood floor in work shed. No, it wasn't free, but super reasonable! I got multiple quotes, some never responded, one was super rude. Travis even found the queen and let us photograph her. He boxed up the entire hive, making sure to get all the bees into the box with the queen and some honeycomb to build in. He came back at sundown to pick up the box so that stragglers could join the hive before the big move! He quoted the job with and without repair. I opted to repair myself, which was a breeze since he cut the floor properly and cleanly. Great experience!! read more

I rarely provide reviews even when service is good - it's just not my thing. For BeeLeaf I am happy to make an exception. The service that Travis and his team provides is exceptional but that's just the beginning. BeeLeaf are passionate educators regarding the benefits of keeping bees and the challenges facing these important pollinators. They are also wonderfully creative and fun partners who have helped our company nurture successful hives on the roof of our building. This has added a wonderful and unique element to our work environment (our Hive) and formed the foundation of many fun team activities including regular visits to check out the bees and our honey harvests. Honestly I can't say enough good things about this company and all that Travis has done to improve bee awareness while providing a great service. read more

Bee Leaf has been great at setting me up and educating me about bee keeping. I got set up with three hives that are thriving. One of these hive hasn't been the easiest to deal with but I have support and it is now much better. read more

We were on our 2nd bee hive in 2 years. I really wanted a live removal/relocation. Bees were getting into our house, mostly in the kids room. No one was stung, in fact they didn't stay alive for long...we often found them already dying or dead. I sent a short video to Travis at Bee Leaf and he sent me a quote. The team came out and worked tirelessly opening up our roof and extracting a huge hive. The guys called in reinforcements and got the bee box ready, sitting on the roof with the queen. Their attitude (despite being so hot outside) was amazing. All of them are so nice. They care about the bees and doing a good job. We need to remember how important bees are to our Eco system. You can find bee removal but folks, often times they kill them. Look for live removal...call Bee Leaf. I for sure would easily recommend them to any one of my friends or family. read more

Travis did a wonderful job moving a small hive to a safe location. We love our pollinators. Thank you Travis for driving all the way to Oceanside. I highly recommend. read more

Travis is not only one of the most kind human beings on this earth but he cares and loves bees like no other. I highly recommend him for whatever/whenever you need, he's truly one of a kind. read more

Called for an estimate and they requested pictures and contact email so they could give me a quote. No response after several hours. I contacted them again they said they can have a tech out on a Friday. Friday comes, no show for an hour. I decide to contact them again and they said had a medical emergency will send someone today, saturday. 3 hours later no call, text or reaching to say they wouldnot be coming. Unprofessional and disappointed. read more

Thanks so much to Bee Leaf and staff for assisting us with our two hives recently! Travis was great at communicating with us and so were the workers Marco and Bella! We had one hive taken out under a shed and realized there was another one as well so they came back out and removed and relocated that one as well! Great dealing with everyone and happy we safely got the bees moved from our property! Would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to remove bees safely and keep them living as well! read more

Travis was quick to respond and even though he couldn't get out to my house the same day, he asked me to send pictures so he could understand what was going on. I had bees in an exhaust vent that had started coming into my house because I taped over the vent. Travis recommended removing the tape so the bees would stop coming in my house. He was 100% right, and the situation went from an emergency to something much more manageable. Travis was extremely knowledgeable and explained my options clearly. He really cares about what he is doing. Definitely recommend giving him a call if you have bees and want an environmentally ethical solution. read more

I recently had a swarm of bees set up their hive in one of my irrigation covers. Of course, I didn't want to kill them since the populations are dwindling and they are so critical to our food chain. Ben immediately returned my call, came out the next day and removed the hive and set up the transfer box. Marco came later that day and picked the box up (once bees were all back from foraging). I am impressed with the care they both took to make sure the bees are healthy and can be transferred safely to their bee sanctuary location. What a great team and the cost was very reasonable. Will definitely use them again if I have another problem. read more
