Jeff was readily available to inspect the property and came out again when we were available for the estimate. He explained the process and was efficient to complete a very large removal. We very much appreciated his time and quality service. read more

I called Bee Rescue early one afternoon after observing a lot of bee activity on our patio and determining that they had begun to create a nest. Jeff came by early that same evening, gave us a reasonable quote, and said that he could remove the bees right away. Jeff worked quickly and efficiently while we watched, placing the colony into a cardboard box with the queen in her own separate cage. The next day he would take them to their new home at a local beekeeper. Afterwards Jeff sprayed the nesting site with a substance to mask the scent that might draw bees back to the same location. One week later and no sign of bees! Would definitely use Bee Rescue again. read more

We had a pretty aggressive bee hive, it has been a week now and all is quiet. One or two visitors but as big as the hive was, WOW what a difference. Thanks Jeff. A very reasonable price, best we found actually. read more

Not many people can say they love bee's, but Jeff from Bee Rescue sure can. Bees are an important part of our ecosystem and without them we may all starve! Unfortunately, we had a hive on our property that was just a little too aggressive to leave in place. It wasn't in an easy place to reach either, it was about 20 feet above ground in an owl box. Not a problem for Jeff and Bee Rescue. From the very 1st call, to completion of the job the experience was top notch. Pricing was extremely fair! What sets Jeff and Bee Rescue apart from others is the humane and professional relocations process of the hive. Jeff went out of his way to explain all aspects of the removal and where they go. I cannot recommend Bee Rescue enough if you face a similar bee problem. Oh they also have a YouTube and Instagram channel if you're ever feeling adventurous to watch 1000's of bees buzzing, crawling and flying around. read more

Jeff from San Diego Bee Rescue is THE BEST! This was our 1st experience having to relocate bees that were living inside a tree trunk and Jeff and his partner were not only professional and communicative, but also very gentle and humane with the bees. The level of care and safety for both humans and the bees were top notch. Look no further, Bee Rescue is the only company I would ever use again! read more

Jeff is amazing! We had him remove 2 bee colonies from our roof 2 different times. Jeff is professional, courteous and knowledgeable. We like the fact that he relocated the bees rather than kills them. We highly recommend Jeff! read more

Jeff came by the same day and inspected the site then gave me a reasonable quote. We agreed on the price and he spent two hours took care of the removal and showed us the queen bee during the process. It was an educational and fun experience for us. Jeff is super nice and down to earth to work with. Highly recommend him. read more

Pretty happy that our HOA contacted them. Jeff was very prompt and courteous, and took care of the hive pretty quickly. He was generally pleasant to talk to and we learned a lot about bees, bee-keeping and general "bee-havior" (ooohhh snap). Watching him remove the hive was a pretty fun show in itself. By the end of it, I wish I'd kept them for a bit longer to come up on that sweet natural honey. We're in Carlsbad, but they service the whole county. 10/10 would read more

Jeff and Bee Rescue are simply amazing. Called him in the morning and he was there that afternoon. Carefully, skillfully he helped remove a small swarm of bees. He educated us as he located the queen, led the bees into a box and safely took them away. If you are in San Diego and come across a hive or swarm, he is the guy to call. read more

Jeff and Julie, thank you so much for coming out to our home today and so quickly taking care of our bee situation! So grateful we found Bee Rescue today. In an instant, the bee situation became very apparent. Literally, from one moment to another, we had hundreds of bees swarming our front porch, as they had built a colony just under it. We called Bee Rescue and they came over so quickly. They pulled out a couple boards in our porch, quickly identified the issue and gently and delicately managed to collect the bees to ensure they stay alive. Very grateful for the work they did, thank you! read more

We just had Bee Rescue come and move a hive from the back of our store and it could not have been a more pleasant experience. Jeff came out very quickly, explained to us what he would need to do. He worked with us to decide what the best options were and once we decided on the best path to proceed he quickly came out and took our bee friends to a much better location. He made sure he only opened parts of the wall that were absolutely necessary and made sure and cleaned up the area when he left. We could not be happier, I feel good about the experience and about saving our bee friends:) -ObHardware read more

My partner and I just moved into our new apartment, put a cute little BBQ on the balcony, and within two days a single bee turned into a full hive. Thank god for Bee Rescue. They gave us a fair quote and the two of them were out here within 15-20 minutes of calling. They ensured no bees entered our living space during the process by entering our balcony externally, and safely and ethically removed the bees. Jeff was truly a hero out there, and gave us a live nature documentary to watch. He scooped hundred of bees into a box, picked out the Queen safely housed her, and placed her in a box where hundreds of bees followed. Given that nobody was injured and the bees were relocated, it was definitely an awesome source of entertainment during the quarantine! And, today (the next day), there are no bees on balcony. Thanks Bee Rescue! read more

Awesome experience with Bee Rescue. Had a client with an active Bee Hive in the soffit area under the roof. Reached out to Bee Rescue and Jeff came out same day, did an evaluation, and was able to give us a quote on the spot. Few days later Jeff returned and removed a portion of the roof to reach the bee hive, removed the large hive, and then put the roofing back and sealed it up tight. Jeff provided pictures and videos of the removal which was amazing to see. Will be reaching out again if we come across another hive! Thank you! read more

Jeff did an expert and thorough job of removing a hive from our attic. We only noticed it a few weeks ago, but as it turned out it had been there much longer. Jeff came in the morning, extracted the bee hive, relocated the queen to a nearby box, and came back later to collect the new hive in the box. Communicated well and was able to gain access to hive without cutting through the roof. For the amount of work involved, I felt he offered a good value. read more

They are a great team, excellent service and very nice and professional. Would definitely recommend them!!!

Appreciate Bee Rescue to help with our bee hive / cluster removal at our property. Jeff came appropriately as scheduled. He was very helpful and considerate to save all the bees that have been removed. The price was reasonable for the amount of time he has spent to remove the bees. He was very smart and knowledgeable about his work to do it efficiently and carefully per my experience. read more

We had acquired a bee hive in a matter of a few days and they were getting very annoying. Called Bee Rescue Friday and Jeff came out on Saturday morning. Jeff was able to remove the bee's with the queen and relocate them, which was very important to us. He was very professional and explained everything to us as we were very inquisitive. Highly recommend! read more

Jeff is awesome, honest, on time and fair. Simply cannot ask for more. There are tons of bee companies that are kill first operations. Jeff isn't that. Please, use this awesome guy if you ever have the need! read more

I calledJeff from Bee Rescue when I had bees nest in my compost bin. They had been there about a year but they had become increasingly more aggressive. Jeff was very informative and gave me several options to consider. I reluctantly decided to have them removed as it was becoming impossible to go out in my backyard without the danger of being stung. Jeff came out and within an hour and a half had the problem solved very efficiently. As he had informed me, I still have some bees left, but they are no longer a problem. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable and professional and pleasant to work with. read more

All I can say is Jeff and Julie are the best! We had a brand new hive forming on the underside of our BBQ lid we found when we noticed a lot of bees starting to show up around the grill. I knew that I didn't want the bees to be killed so I looked up local bee keepers in our area. I came across their website and once I saw that they rescued bees I called them in the morning and Jeff said they would swing by later that day! They arrived around 1PM were very nice and I didn't even have to ask them to put on masks for COVID precautions which was very respectful they did it without asking. They took a look at the hive, went back down to their truck, got geared up and and started removing the bees. We live in an apartment and the BBQ is on our patio on the second story so we were able to observe safely behind the glass door while they worked. Jeff even showed us the queen and explained how long the hive had been there and what stage the bees were at in their hive building which was very educational. Overall I cant recommend them enough and if we ever have another bee problem I wont call anybody else Thank you for saving our patio and for helping the bees find a new home. read more

Great experience! I called Bee Rescue on the Sunday before Memorial Day about a new bee colony that settled in an irrigation box on my property and they came first thing on Memorial Day. They were in and out fast and had great communication. I will definitely call them again if we have any other bee issues! read more

These guys are GR8! They came out within hours of calling them and safely removed and relocated a queen and her hive that had setup housekeeping under our shed. They had to remove a section of the floor but replaced it with wood I had available. If you've got a hive, PLEASE DO NOT KILL THEM! We're already losing bees at an alarming rate. Call BEE RESCUE! It's in the name. Need I say more? read more

Bee Rescue is great! Responsive, punctual, and did a thorough job removing the bees in a humane manner. Very reasonable pricing, especially when you consider the nature of the work (he was up on the second story of my house dealing with the hive on a hot day in full protective gear). Jeff also got pictures and video of the hive removal process so I could see what he was dealing with. It was so interesting I ended up buying on book on the life of the honeybee. One of the best small business owners you'll ever have the privilege of working with. read more

They were friendly, knowledgeable, and responded quickly. Also, they were more than $600.00 below the "other guys." I will recommend them to all. Best of all, they didnt kill the bees. Thank you for beeing just what we needed. read more

They just helped us out with a hive that grew in the brick wall in our backyard. They arrived the next day after we called them and quickly assessed the situation and quoted us. They came back 2 days later to do the removal and they worked very quickly and efficiently and made the whole process easy and safe. We are so happy they were able to help us out!!! read more

Bee Rescue was amazing! Jeff showed up on time and took care of the bees that had gotten in our attic space! It was fascinating to watch ! I would definitely recommend them ! read more

BEE REMOVAL AND ROOF REPAIR: Yesterday, we had 20 lbs of honeycomb, and honey, removed from our attic. In order to reach the hive the roof had to be opened up. At one point we had upwards of 10,000 bees. I highly recommend Jeff at Bee Rescue. Jeff performed a live removal to save the bees. He removed tiles, cut out felt paper, opened up plywood, removed the bees and honeycomb by hand (to preserve healthy bees - better than vacuuming the bees), scooped out the wax, cleaned out the honey, coated the area with odor suppressant, replaced the insulation, plywood, paper, and put the tiles back into place. The surrounding area was bee proofed with mesh. We interviewed multiple bee removal companies and Jeff at Bee Rescue was by far the most knowledgeable, and most cost effective. We highly recommend Jeff at Bee Rescue. He was awesome and our roof looks great!!! read more

Awesome job by Jeff!!! We did not want the bees to be killed but wanted them to be removed and rehomed and Jeff did an awesome job. Thank you!! read more

I noticed a few random bees near my hot tub until one day there was a swarm of about 50-75 bees. Called several companies but found Jeff to be the most responsive, personable & knowledgeable, and competitively-priced. He took care of the problem, removing a large hive from my hot tub pump area, in 2-3 hours. I love that he takes the removed queen/hive to a local bee keeper as well. Highly recommend this company! read more

I have called this company twice now for help with bee issues in our yard. The first time the gentleman who took my call let me know they were very busy and it would be a day or two to make it out to us and suggested I call around to other businesses. He seemed annoyed with my call asking for help - there was a swarm of bees around our house and chimney and I could see them in the attic vents - but ultimately I understood that they are very busy so whatever I brushed off that encounter. But then I call a second time for a question regarding a bee swarm around the pool in our backyard. After following this company on both Instagram and snapchat I assumed they really cared about the safety of bees. So I figured a call for advice to safely get the bees away from my pool would be welcomed. Not the case at all. The gentleman straight up told me he didn't have time to deal with my call. I absolutely understand they are busy and feel this could have communicated cordially. But telling a potential customer you don't have time to deal with them or their issue is absolutely unacceptable. Not sure how a business owner thinks they can treat or talk to anyone this way. read more

Thank you so very much, Mr. & Mrs. Bee Rescue! Excellent service, hospitality, and just friendly people (all of us practiced social distancing). Called at 1230pm and they were able to make it here before 6pm to remove a hive (about 1200ish) from one of our bathroom exhaust vents in the roof (plus a few snuck in). Not only safely and kindly rescued the bees but fixed the vent screen in about 30 minutes. Thank you again and be safe. read more

Prompt and professional service. We contacted Jeff on Sunday and he offered to come out the next day, even though it was a holiday. He assessed the situation and removed a hive of bees that had been built inside an outdoor trash can. We were fascinated watching him gently remove the hive while explaining the process to us. The whole experience was both positive and educational. read more

Came home this afternoon to find a bee swarm the size of a loaf of bread, hanging on a shrub in our front yard, near the sidewalk. Called several places but most were either closed, or too busy, or failed to call back, etc. The Bee Rescue guy was in the area already and came within about 10 minutes. Was very pleasant, professional and efficient. He also knocked a little off the price because the bees were so close to the ground and easily accessible. I was pleased that the bees would not be killed, but instead are donated to a beekeeper. read more

Very pleased with Jeff of Bee Rescue. We found bees swarming around on our patio. They had built a hive inside of a cabinet in about two days! Jeff came out, removed the hive, located the queen, built a little wire cage for her, and will relocate them away from our house. Now we can let our cat out again! read more

Apparently We've had a colony of bees under our roof for quite a while. I learned this because Jeff at Bee Rescue showed me extensive pictures of the work he performed getting rid of them. Our regular exterminator will kill the bees but does not remove hives. They referred me to someone who does and they gave me an estimate: X to kill and remove hive: X+two hundred to relocate the hive and bees. I then looked at Yelp and called Bee Rescue because they had all five star reviews. Talked to Jeff, he gave me an idea of cost, and came out to inspect the next day. Jeff strikes me as a conscientious young man who seems to really know his bees. His estimate (because he had mentioned a range on the phone) was two hundred less than the other and he did not kill the bees. When he came out and saw the work required, he said his estimate should have been the same as the other estimator but stuck to the lower price (same as the first guys just kill price) and his price included saving the bees. He arrived early, worked steadily, and gave a wonderful presentation of the colony he removed (and bees in general) when he finished. He also said to look for bees who were out looking for pollen when the nest was removed who will be returning to the area and to call him as soon as we see some and he will be back. Also gave a two year warranty. Very pleasant experience. Highly recommend him! read more

I had some honeybees starting to make a hive above the room over our garage. Bee Rescue came out within about 90 minutes of me calling them and swiftly removed the bees and installed more netting on the vents so bees could not enter again. I thought it was going to be much more of a hassle to even get someone here, so I was pleasantly surprised that the whole thing was taken care of within about two hours of discovering the bees. I highly recommend Bee Rescue. Fast, knowledgable, humane, and responsive. read more

Love these guys! So cool that they do live bee removal. We have an old 1916 craftsman home and had two hives on our property. Bee Rescue delivered prompt, excellent service. The bees were safely removed and rescued. Highly recommend Jeff and his team! read more

8/20/2014, I highly recommend this service to remove bee's and bee hive from your home. I came home from work yesterday and discovered bee's had moved into my bird house. The bee population grew quickly. I did some research and found out that the bee's will attack if they feel threatened. The article said, never spray the hive with water or insect spray because they will attack. Hmmm. Makes sense to me so I called around and got some quotes. I spoke with Jeff at Bee Rescue who gave me a reasonable price. Bee Rescue doesn't kill bee's instead relocates them to another location where bee keepers adopt them. Jeff came to my house and removed the entire bee hive without killing them. I strongly recommend Bee Rescue for home and business owners. After the bee hive was removed there about 50 bee's that remained behind for about one week until the "Left behind bee's" died off. Sad that bees will not allow bees from another hive to join there hive. read more
