Beekeeper Nova did a fine job getting rid of the wasps inside the vents on top of the roof today, he found several active nests with lava, he removed the nests and placed the mesh over the opening of the vents to prevent the wasps/hornets from entering the attic and inside the house. I am happy with their service and highly recommend this company, also the charge was reasonable and affordable. read more

I called Nova on a Saturday when I noticed two bee nests under my roof. I didn't have any knowledge about bees and couldn't tell the difference between honeybees and wasps. Nova reviewed my photos and scheduled the service to be the next day (Sunday). He came on time and dealt with the issues quickly and effectively. I'm so grateful for his service, while he charged much less than what big companies had offered me. I highly recommend him whenever you have bee issues. read more

Removed the bees and closed up most of the stucco. I had to redo the stucco myself, but that's probably to be expected. Price seemed reasonable. No more bees, so quality is Ok. read more

I called Nova on a weekday evening about a wasp nest burrowing into the side of our house, expecting an appointment within a week, and he came within the hour to remove it at like 7 PM! It was in a tricky location- they had gone through a vent outside, above the ceiling, and burrowed inside. He explained what he needed to do, and even showed us the crazy wasp nest that he removed. My kids always swarm people and ask them a bunch of questions- so I extra appreciated that he was kind to and patient with them. It cost us $750, and he guarantees the work in the same area for 1 year. read more

Called Nova and left a message for honey bee hive removal from our backyard. He replied the same day and promptly scheduled the service the next day. The service is delivered on time in a very professional way. The hive was under our shed. Nova has to opened the shed floor, collected bees in the bee box, located the queen bee and kept her in a special container. He restore the shed floor after the removal. The service price is reasonable. I would recommend Nova to anyone who wants to resolve the bee issue in their property. read more

Yellowjackets had managed to nest behind one of our side panels. Nova was very responsive, came for a site visit, provided estimate and offered to return in less than a week. On the scheduled date, he came in fully equipped and managed to remove the nest, seal the surface and restore everything to original condition, incurring minimum damage. Job was done within an hour. Nova is very professional, knowledgeable, responsive and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend. He is also a professional beekeeper so you may want to purchase some of his honey as well! read more

We contacted Nova through messages on Yelp for hornet nests we saw. He replied within a couple of days and came by a few days later to address the hornets we had in our attic. He was very thorough and removed all of the nests that we saw and answered all our questions about what to do in preventing them in the future. I have not seen them come back and it has been about 4 months now. Highly recommend! read more

Very reasonable price for service and came the Monday morning for complementary quote when I put in the Yelp message on the Saturday. My tenant met with Svwen but I was able to. When decided to go with him based on the reasonable estimate he came back Tuesday morning and took care of 9 small wasp nests. read more

Each season we have bees come along and make their hive in our oak tree. The main problem was that they would be walking on the ground during the day and we would wake up to a sea of dead bees on our drive way as I guess at night they would be attracted to the dim security lights. At the time we had a dog and from time to time he would have a stinger on his paw. I'm prior seasons we had contacted a few but either the price was too high or it was difficult to schedule something. This year the wife found beekeeper nova and Swvin responded promptly to a direct message and he came out in a few days. The bee hive opening is roughly 20 feet up in the tree. Swvin did not hesitate to climb up his ladder and take out all of the old hive, fill it with a mud mixture, and apply three to four wire meshes to keep the bees from getting back in. While he was up there we talked and he answered all of my bee questions. When it did get warm, those honey bees really wanted back in. Each day they just tried and tried to get in. About three weeks later we are in the house and hear the loudest buzzing from the backyard. It was a huge cloud of bees and they really were trying to get in. About an hour later the swarm was gone. Later in the week my daughter noticed they would land close to the lower mesh and walk right in so somehow they got back in. I messaged Swvin and he said he would come out after the storms. He came out the following week and said they had broken through a rotting portion of the oak. He took out the new honeycombs that were built and meshed up the new opening. I recommend Swvin if you have any bee removal needs even if it's up high in a tree! read more

I called on a weekday morning and he was able to get to my house within a couple hours. I had noticed there were bees coming in and out of a wall and wanted it to be taken care as soon as possible. He was very professional and said the bees were scouting and hadn't created a nest yet. Sealed up the holes and said to call again if there were any problems. Thank you for quick service! read more

He's great! He was able to come to my house within the hour of me contacting him about some wasps that have been buzzing around my front door. Unfortunately, he couldn't do much about them without a nest to remove, but he gave me advice about how to deter them from scavenging around my front door. Have not seen any wasps since I followed his advice! read more

He's all about bees. Rescue, professional removals, rearing of nucs, packages and queens, pollination. read more

Great service and helped us removed the bee hive! Very fast response too. Recommend the service

I found this lifesaver on Yelp - he came out to my house right away after I had gotten stung multiple times by a bunch of wasps I had disturbed while moving a pile of weeds. I was in so much pain and knew I needed a professional to help me feel safe in my backyard again. He was able to locate the wasp's nests buried in the ground, took some interesting photos for me, and removed the whole thing in less than a half hour. It's been a couple months now and no wasps in sight - phew! read more

Very responsive. Showed up the next day too remove a wasp nest from our oak tree. Also sealed up the hole with mud/wire mesh to prevent them from returning. read more

Very responsive and helpful. Was so glad to find him as I needed gifts for my friends and neighbors for the holidays. Everyone was so excited and grateful. The most delicious honey! read more

I noticed a swarm of probably 1000+ bees on a post on our patio. We called Nova and he was on his way here within 1 hour. Interestingly, the bees all left before he got here. I felt bad because I had to call him off but he was very gracious even though he was almost here. Will definitely use him next time. read more

Removed a yellow jacket nest in the ground in the front yard near a walking path. He came within an hour on the same day I called. He sprayed the hole, plugged it up and then carefully dug out the entire nest/hive, avoiding the irrigation. He showed me some of the paper combs they'd built and a queen which was super interesting. Very nice guy. I highly recommend! read more

Amazing service! I reached out via Yelp at about 9am and he was at my house by 11:45! Impressively fast and efficient. Highly recommend!

Fast, friendly, and effective! We had an underground yellow jacket nest near our front door that I would attempt to kill at night. Luckily I called Beekeeper Nova instead. The yellow jackets were still flying around after 1 a.m. and I wasn't too confident that I could safely deal with the situation. Beekeeper Nova came over and took care of them in the morning. read more

Found beekeeper nova on yelp, and he was very responsive. We noticed lots of bee-like things flying near our shrub and got stung before. Nova come by and removed what turned out to be a yellow jacket nest (inside a plastic structure) in the front yard. Mission accomplished and we didnt need to be home and miss time from work! He sent pictures of his work and guaranteed it for a certain amount of time. We are very thankful! read more

Highly recommend! Messaged this business through Yelp on Thursday evening. They responded about 30 minutes later and said they could come on Saturday morning. (I had a wasp nest on one of my exterior vents.) Arrived at the time they said they would and were done within 5 minutes. Quick easy and great customer service. read more

This is a small business and the owner responded by message right away and came the next day to get rid of the wasps. He was super nice and friendly and has a passion for bees. I will for sure call him again if I have another problem with these scary, stinging insects which I realize are just trying to live their own lives but I'd appreciate it if they did it away from my front door. read more

Contacted Beekeeper Nova and requested a quote for a removal of a (what I thought was a) paper wasp nest in my front yard. He promptly responded with a quote and a time that he was available to come. We scheduled an appointment for today and when he came, he noticed that the nest was not a paper wasp nest but a hornet nest. (Whoops.. google images might have led me south a bit this time.) He said that usually he would charge $195 for this type of removal, but was willing to honor his original quote. I apologized for the mistake and thanked him for honoring his price and he responded with "Anytime. Love seeing people happy and getting a good service." Beekeeper Nova, you definitely earned yourself a happy customer here. All in all, he was a super knowledgeable and helpful guy. Although I'd love to never see a hornet nest in my backyard ever again, if I ever do, he'd be the first person I'd call!! Thanks again read more

My tenant had thousands of bees in her patio floor. I immediately called a Beekeeper named Deb, who also is amazing ,and she recommended Nova. He arrived promptly and was very professional from start to finish. He found the best way to get the bees out with no structural damage to the patio. He's very brave to go out there with no suit and have the bees all over him. I would highly recommend Nova for bee removal. Save the bees! read more

We had a bee problem all of a sudden with a bunch of bees building a hive on the ground. I wanted to get rid of the hive though I wanted to keep the bees safe. I found beekeeper nova on yelp, called and got him to come the same day. A bit pricey but hey, no bees harmed! Also, he got his 5y old son to do the vacuuming of the bees into the bag, which was awesome. Apart from the fact that it made me feel less macho :) read more

OUTSTANDING! Same day service to successfully remove two yellow jacket nests in the ground adjacent to a playground and bathroom at a private campsite in Santa Cruz mountains. Made our 80 person campout a success - zero visible yellow jackets, when a party the previous weekend had 12 stings across 10 people. Thank you!! read more

Grateful to have found Nova on Yelp when our bee problem had become a real concern for our family. We had a swarm of bees in a tree in front of our house for a couple days. They appeared from nowhere and were "hanging out" about 6 feet above the sidewalk in front of our house where families and children walk every day. I called Nova and left a message at ~5:30pm on Wednesday night; received a text a couple hours later, and Nova showed up at 10pm the same night to relocate the bees. Did a great job carefully relocating the hive and gave me some education along the way. Thank you! read more

Juan was very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. He quickly removed some wasp nests that were right next to where we park our cars. They were tucked up in an awkward little corner of our bay window, but Juan cleaned the wasps out quickly and treated the area so they won't return. He also had a look around the rest of the house to make sure there weren't other nests hiding. I highly recommend this company. read more

Amazing - responsive, effective! We had a large yellowjacket nest in the ground cover right by the front porch. We texted beekeeper nova on a Sunday evening and by Monday midday he'd come out and removed a large nest. Great work, good communication - all by text. Highly recommend beekeeper nova. read more

I recently had Nova come out to remove a couple of hives from my back yard and check for additional ones. I started off by leaving a message through the Yelp platform and he got right back to me with his initial thoughts about my situation, a (fair) price quote, and his availability (which fit with my schedule). Appointment day went very smoothly! Unfortunately, you don't come across many service providers like Nova these days who quickly respond (to your initial contact), show up on time, do their work fast and efficiently, and don't hit you with surprise costs in the final bill. read more

Beekeeper Nova was very responsive, professional, efficient, and complete in removing a hive of bees that had taken up residence in a cabin wall near Morgan Hill. His before and after pictures and video with explanations were valuable and re-assuring of the completeness of his work. Highly recommend his bee removal services. read more

Don't look any further, Beekeeper Nova is the right guy for the job. He removed the wasp nest from my backyard that was 10 times bigger than the initial impression. I'm so glad I did not attempt to remove this myself. There's a 1 year warranty . He's a specialist with 15 plus experience. read more

Professional! From initial call all the way through completion of bee hive removal Nova kept me informed of the situation and provided status updates of the situation and what he had to do. We cannot be more happier with the work he did. For years we had a bee problem with other who did a bad job of not getting rid of the bees. After Nova completed, not a single bee came back or flew by. He also did a great job patching up any holes and ensured the area where the hive was completely closed. He even provided some honey from their personal bee hive. We can't thank them enough for the excellent job they did. 100% satisfied, true professionals in their line of business. read more

We had bee hive since moved in 2012, but it's getting worse year after year. Called Nova around noon, he showed up around 2 o'clock. Since the bee hive was so big, he can't clean it up from outside, so he brought two more people to help him next day. Weeks later, a swarm of bees started another new hive, Nova cleaned it up and removed a new hive from the other corner of the roof. However, the bees really liked our house, insisting to stay. Nova had to come back third time to relocated more bees and spent hours to seal all the gaps under the roof. Nova is very patient to deal with this never ending problems. His fee is very reasonable comparing to our previous quote, and he also offered free service on the third removal. Nice person, knowledgeable about bees and continue to deal with the reoccurring problem until it is completely done. read more

Very happy. Bee swarm congregated on a bush in our backyard yesterday afternoon. I gave them until about noon today, but they had not moved on, so I called Nova. Nova arrived to my location in Sunnyvale in under an hour (during which time the swarm had moved to a bush in our front yard). Within half an hour of arriving, most of the bees had been put in the box, with the queen identified and sequestered in the box as well. Nova showed that the swarming bees were not actually aggressive, and once the queen was in the box, the rest would start moving inside to be with her. Nova left the box a few hours to allow the remaining bees to get on board, and came by to retrieve the box just after sunset, by which time there were no bees flying and just a handful sitting on the box. Very happy with the speed, expertise, and being able to know that these bees were not exterminated but will be moved to hives in agricultural areas where they are needed as pollinators. read more
