We live on an acre of land and the side yard is not an area most commonly used. In the process of yard work we noticed bees coming from the bottom of our shed. It was important to me to have the bees removed in preparation for an upcoming event, but not to have them harmed understand a bees importance. I called and made several inquiries to bee removal companies, but a few would not make the commute to Ramona and others said they were unable to take more bees at this time. I was referred to Bee Nice Wildlife and I couldn't have been more satisfied with the outcome. I coordinated with James explaining I had no knowledge of the length of time to bees have resided in our shed, but also explained that they appear to be coming underneath our shed. James explained how bees get under the sheds and it makes a prime home for a colony of bees. James explained that the floor of the shed would have to be cut and how best to fill the base after the extraction of the bees. James was able to immediately schedule us in to remove the bees. On our appointment James and Allison both were fully prepared with all the tools they may possibly need. I sat inside my house while they worked. James and Allison both were calm and easy going answering all my questions before and after. Each step of the way they both were very transparent with the process and the costs. They explained that a small colony could have 30k bees or a large colony up to 100k. Our colony was a large colony totaling to approximately 80-100k. However, James and Allison thoroughly collected the most bees possible, cleaned the remaining combs, and any spilt honey to prevent a new colony from moving in or rodents seeking the honey. They even were able to share a honey comb with us from the hive which contained rich pure honey! James and Allison's work was excellent and highly recommendable. Their knowledge and personable character made asking questions easy after I became extremely fascinated with the removal. Thank you James and Allison for saving our bee hive with care! read more

James is great. I've had him out to my property a few times. He recently removed a hive we had under a cargo container and rehomed the bees. He's extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant. Highly recommend! read more

James and Allison were great! There was a bee hive in our backyard and they came out to assess the problem quickly. The heat made the it hard for them to collect the bees. So they regrouped and came back a couple days later when it cooled down. They were a pleasure to talk to and learn about how they humanely save the bees. Would highly recommend them! read more

This capture took a day and a half. Coyote had been wandering neighboring for 5 weeks and I got the contact info for Bee Nice Wildlife Management, after a call from channel 10 reporter, Steve Fiorina. The media attention to capture this coyote was widespread, and I called a number of trappers before realizing, Spencer and his team are THE BEST. They use humane methods to capture, and these guys know their stuff. I highly recommend this knowledgeable crew of trapping experts. They are super heroes in my book, and we will use this service again!.. read more

James and Spencer are really nice and informative and share their knowledge while taking care of the bees. They did a great job moving the colony from my patio composter to their land and went above and beyond what other companies seemed to be offering. Highly recommended! read more

This is my first time using Bee Nice. I called with a semi-emergency (a Barn owl box) invasion by bees. I live on the edge of Tecolate Canyon. I was worried that the newly inhabited box had young inside. Spencer and friend showed up at the first opportunity in order to efficiently and carefully vacuum all the bees from a box perched 15 feet above ground. I was really happy to find out that the box only contained unhatched eggs (4) of which I was promised a photo.... but was then disappointed that Spencer only took video and couldn't send it to me via internet. Oh well, a minor point I guess. They did a very good job otherwise. Update 6 hours later: James followed up later today and sent me the video of inside the owl box... 5 eggs are looking good amid a rat graveyard of bodies and bones ! Thanks guys ! My rat and gopher patrol is about to expand, whoohoo ! read more

It's now been several weeks since my bees were relocated - NO SIGN OF A SINGLE BEE! I am very pleased.

This is long overdue, but I HIGHLY recommend Bee Nice Wildlife. They are very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and quick. They removed 30,000 bees from our attic. While doing so, they assiduously covered the room to ensure it remained clean while cutting through the roof. After quickly retrieving the bees, they even took the time to show our kids the hive, and teach them some cool things about bees. I especially like that they go above and beyond to save the bees and release them back into the wild later. 5 stars easily. read more

We had a huge hive in our tree and another one in a shared wall with our neighbors that we wanted to relocate. James & Allison were great at explaining the process and in taking the time to ensure that as many of the bees as possible make the transition. We highly recommend them! read more

After discovering a very large hive on a structure near our canyon we decided that live removal was the only choice we were comfortable with. The whole process went very smoothly with James and Allison. They were easy to communicate with and we were fascinated with the whole technique that is used to gently move the entire hive into a box so they can be happily relocated away from our yard. They are a great team. We highly recommend calling Bee Nice Wildlife. Thanks James and Allison!! read more

The short version: James is absolutely great and solved my bee problem by saving them! Long version: I had a hive growing in my backyard for a long time that my family had just left alone. Eventually as the hive started to grow the bees became more adventurous in getting closer to the house to the point that we figured we would have to do something about it before it became a dangerous situation. I researched a lot of different bee relocaters that would save them and requested different quotes. When I called James he gave the most competitive quote against the others and proposed a plan that fit my situation. James came by quickly and set up a trap and new box hive for the bees. I wasn't in a hurry to have the bees out and wanted to do the process as naturally as possible. After about a month I noticed the bees swarming and getting rowdy again. James was always available for any questions I had and came out quickly when I needed him to. In the end James was able to save most of the colony and it's been about a week and it appears a majority of the straggler bees have begun to dissapate. Would highly recommend Bee Nice to Wildlife! read more

James is as good as they come. I had sent a bunch of messages through yelp to find someone to remove the gophers at our home. James was super informative and quick to respond despite it being a weekend. Needless to say, I was very impressed with him over our correspondence. He came out on a weekend, was super professional and is getting the work done. I can't wait till all those little rodents are out of our lives. read more

Can't thank the staff here enough for saving our Rancho Bernardo coyote, "Myrtle". It was heartbreaking for such a long time to watch her suffer. Myrtle's advocate, Katie, was so frustrated and stressed trying to find a way to help her. If it weren't for this capture, I'm certain this momma coyote would have had an agonizing death. Kudos to the trappers who didn't give up on our coyote! read more

Super friendly, great Bee team. If you have bees, they know how to bee nice to them. Just call them, and read the Bee Keeper's Bible while you wait for their arrival. Everything will Bee fine. Especially great with Clairemont bees. read more

Bees are endangered species! Exterminators will spray poison and will not bother to clean up for any dead bees, wax or honey. Any leftover honey will attract more bees so if you are exterminating bees, they will come back! We noticed a bee swarm forming in a hole on an exterior wall, and they were making there way into the building. We are so glad to have found them on Yelp! They do not EXTERMINATE (which always runs the risk of having the bees come back). They holistically take them alive and care for them in their farm. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable about bees and their behavior. read more

James is a scam artist, do not trust his word or his guarantee. He charged me $500 to remove bees from my neighbors yard and told me he would provide us a 1 year guarantee that the bees would not return. After he came out to do the service, there were still many bees and he told me it would take about 2 weeks for all the bees to be gone. 2 weeks passed and the bees were still there, I called him and he came out and said that he didnt see any, when I have video proof that the bees were still there. I asked him to come out again and he said it was a tree that I had near the area that was attracting bees, but that they were just worker bees and there was no hive. I cut the tree down and waited 2 weeks, the bees were STILL flying into the same hive. I called him again and he came and sprayed an anti pheromone treatment and said the bees should die within 2 weeks. The bees were still there, now 3 months after I had this service done, he is stating that there is a new hive 20 feet from where he did the work (the yard doesnt even extend that far) and that this is a "new" hive. Just so that he doesnt have to honor his guarantee. After weeks of me contacting him and barely getting any response, he decided to refund me $200 of the $500 we paid him for a job that was NEVER completed. I have 2 small children that have not been able to play outside because we believed that James was telling us the truth, now we are out $300 and have to find someone else to do the job the right way. read more

Hired them to remove a gopher, They succeeded very quickly. Would recommend them to someone else in the future.

Very happy with the service James provided. They were fast to respond, friendly and professional! They did a great job removing all the bees from under my front deck, and did it without killing them. #beeslivesmatter read more

Bee Nice was easily one of the best recommendations that I've gotten this year. Bees had filled one irrigation box just off our property and started making combs in the next two. Spencer came out, suited up, and scooped up all of the honeycomb and most of the bees. I specifically wanted to hire someone who wouldn't kill the bees and am glad to know that they have a new, better home. Just as that situation calmed down, coyotes started checking out our fenceline. We have two bigger dogs which would have likely been seen as a threat. Our neighbors have a little fluffball that would have made for a nice snack. Cats and smaller dogs have gone missing in our neighborhood, so I asked Spencer to set up a snare. A few days later, a 50lb none-too-happy male was snagged. Two hours later, he was no longer a threat. I second the other reviewer who mentioned that Spencer and James share the knowledge and clearly know what they are doing. They're polite and prompt. I'm telling my neighbors all about my fantastic experiences. I know who I'll be calling if any unwelcome wildlife finds its way onto my property. read more

James and his partner did a superb job. Not only are they professionals in what they do, but they're also personable, informational, and truly love bees and are out there fighting the shortage. Very satisfied. Rosemarie read more

James was very prompt in responding and he and his partner were here as promised and took our bees safely away. A 30lbs hive! I was so glad to get this referral and would encourage others to please use them to remove bees safely. The price is on par with others and I personally feel it is a contribution to our community and overall our planet to save these precious creatures. Keep up the great work!! read more

We had a swarm of bees in the chimney and surrounding the windows. James was able to come out within 30 minutes! He spent an hour and Smoked out a huge swarm! They then went around and vacuumed up the remaining ones in the windowsills. We noticed a few more upstairs and they were kind enough to come back out a couple more times to ease our minds and vacuum them up. read more

My parents, who are in their 70s called me to let me know that they had a swarm of bees in their upstairs bathroom. Fortunately, I had a friend who had just mentioned working with Bee Nice on Facebook and highly recommended them. Even though they had a packed schedule, they came to my parents house THAT evening. They were concerned about my parents safety and went above and beyond to make sure they could help them out. This is all during the COVID19 quarantine and they followed all recommended precautions to avoid exposing my parents to any necessary germs. Bee Nice then spent three hours assessing the situation. I would like to highlight that they did not use any harmful chemicals and their focus is on capturing and re-habiting the bees. Excellent work all around and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you Bee Nice, this was a scary experience and your expertise helped us feel safe. read more

We had a big bee colony in our water meter and wanted to save them. The folks at beenicewildlife were just wonderful! They lured the queen and her colony into a box and they are now on their way to a new home in the east county. James and Amanda were so friendly and professional and explained everything they were doing. Their prices were also really good (much less than another company we looked at)! It's so important to #savethebees - if you need help with bees, be sure to call them! read more

Bee Nice came out to remove a recent hive that formed in a can light under our porch overhang. They handled everything professionally and were so personable.

James and Spencer are awesome! They are responsive on the phone, arrive on time, are considerate to me, our house and the bees, are super pleasant to work with and did a great job!

James was so helpful. We had an out of control hive living in our fence and they came our to help. They gave me some great advice. Made me look forward to learning more about bees. read more

First we talked with James who then contracted us out to Spencer who took $425.00 the day he came to our home. He claimed that it didn't look bad as far as mice in the attic was concerned. Probably not many up there. He then put little screens near, (not covering), two possible entryways and left...total time 45 minutes...saying he'd be back in a couple of days. No show, cancellation, and after a week and a half of no contact finally came by with a new trap and left...total time 15 minutes. The trap he left is useless...too big to hold the mice. Called James to report our dissatisfaction with how we're being mismanaged and ignored and he admitted that Spencer should "do the right thing" and reimburse some of our money....still no response from Spencer. Meanwhile...my husband has removed over 40 mice and still counting. If you're looking for an honest, reputable, responsible company this is not it! read more

Bee Nice Wildlife management came at the time they said they would and did a great job removing bees from my water meter box. It took them a very short time to get the queen and most of the bees captured. I love the fact that the bees are not going to be killed but will be given a nice home to live in on their property. Thank you Bee Nice Wildlife Management! read more

I highly recommend this company! We had four (yes 4!) hives on our property, two of which were in the eves of the house. The Bee Nice crew were polite, on time, thoughtful and professional. They had to make several trips to the house, including drywall repair which was done beautifully. All communication, arrival times and completion times were succinct and done exactly as they described. I also learned a lot about the bees! They clearly know what they are doing, care about the well being of the animals and are extremely professional. I would hire them again and recommend them highly! read more
