We were scheduled to film at a house for a Netflix movie on Monday & discovered wasp nests in the eves of the 2 story house & aggressive wasps Sat afternoon. I called several removal companies that all advertised 24/7 hr response & same day service..turns out that wasn't really true- no one could come out until Monday. I called Queen Bee- they responded immediately and came out that afternoon. They humanely removed the wasps & their nests for a very reasonable price. They are now at the top of my list to call the next time I have an issue! read more

Eugene and Serge removed a large bumblebee nest from my yard. The bees were aggressive. It was a big job which they performed perfectly. The bees were saved and relocated. I highly recommend Queen Bee Removal. They are genuinely great people! read more

We contacted this service yesterday because of a concern about wasps on our property. We had use the same service for Bee Removal about a year ago. We can't say enough positive things about this service, and specifically the technician, Serge. He is very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. read more

Serge was Amazing and professional. I don't think I could have found a better person to remove our bees.

So grateful to Eugene and Queen Bee Removal for their efficiency and professionalism. We had three different small hives around the house of various wasps and bees, and he took the time to explain all of them, and what to expect upon removal. And then the removal work itself was expedient, and handled with care. Booking was easy through their website, and payment was super simple upon completion. I would absolutely call them again. read more

Wow. I've been ghosted on Yelp by vendors before, but never in an urgent situation when I have a swarm of bees coming out of my fireplace. They were very professional and knowledgeable on the phone. We set up the appointment for the same day in the afternoon. He even said, see you soon. Took time off of work and arranged for someone else to pick up my kids. No show. No call. Didn't answer my texts, calls or voicemails. Ghosted. I get that things can happen unexpectedly, but come on. Give a girl the heads up. read more

This is an amazing service. Highly recommend Eugene. He worked really hard and did a phenomenal job. Bees are removed and relocated to a new home. A win, win for me and for the bees! Would definitely use this service again. read more

Before and after photos of huge bees hive. Outstanding work! Bees be gone. Thank you Eugene and Sergey. You gave me piece of mind. read more

See all

I left a message and received a quick call back. Eugene took the time to explain how to handle the bees that were in my chimney. I appreciated his professionalism. read more

James the Bee Keeper came over and was super cool. He used bee behavior and intuition to figure out how to remove them without killing a single bee. So far so good. They were super nice and not too expensive. Great job, James! read more

Eugene was great and very knowledgeable. He was also at my house within a couple hours of calling. Highly recommend!

I called QBR a few weeks ago to come remove a nest of wasps that was near the back part of my house. Eugene came out on time and inspected it. He explained how he would remove the wasps and gave me a quote. within the hour Eugene removed the wasps. apparently i had a 12 wasp nest. i would recommend them. in and out in a flash, quoted me on the spot and came on time. all things i expect from a professional business. thanks Eugene no more wasps! read more

Honestly this was an amazing experience! I went totally on intuition in selecting this service that humanely removes and relocates bees, didn't even check the Yelp reviews! After spotting the little creatures swarming around my compost, i called Queen Bee, spoke to Eugene and literally a couple of hours later he was there!! He is a fourth generation bee keeper and really knows all there is to know about his subject. He looked at the hive and gave me a very fair estimate of removal cost to vacuum the bees up. He took photos for us and gave us the honey combs and explained about the bee nectar and that the dark areas were pollen, fascinating! The nectar was delicious!!! He also explained what we could expect to see for the next few days after removal... I would totally recommend this service to anyone. Eugene is a great guy with a friendly professional demeanor. read more

Within 12 hours of contacting they had given us an estimate, assessed our situation, and completely removed a hive that had taken up residence in our composter. Thanks so much!! read more

Queen bee removal was a pleasure to work with. From the initial call Eugene was very helpful and informative. I was concerned about having the bees safely removed from my property and NOT KILLED!!!! They had a beekeeper out at my house within two hours. Same day professional service it doesn't get better then that. I would definatly recommend them to anyone and will call them for any future bee probelms of my own. Thank you for saving and relocated the bees safely I wish more people realized how important bees are. read more

I had several wasp nests located on the eaves of my apartment unit that were causing problems with the tenant. I tried Queen Bee Removal because of the reviews I have read on Yelp. In my opinion and experience with John who took my order and Eugene(owner) who came out to investigate and estimate the cost of collecting and relocating these wasps, this company runs it's business professionally and efficiently. Eugene will explain everything you want to know about wasp and bee relocation and how he will vacuum and collect the wasp away from my property. I would highly recommend this company if you have a wasp or bee problem. A definite YES!!! read more

I had what I thought was a hive, but turned out to be a swarm. Western Exterminator quoted me $300 to kill them, and that it was a 2 man job. I went back to my search, found QBR and made an appointment. About half an hour later Serge called to say he was about 30 minutes away. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and seems to enjoy his work. It was exciting to watch the whole process and the bees behavior. I'm grateful to have found QBR who will give the bees a new home. They were friendly on the phone too. read more

Respectful of people & insects! They don't use pesticides! Also, they don't harm the insects - they gently capture them & then re-locate them to a place where they won't be a danger for people. Perfect for my vegan wife & myself who don't kill anything! The service we received in the office from Mila was superb! Very informative & she returned calls quickly. The service we received from Tom, the person in the field who actually did the removal was fantastic.. He was also very informative & went above & beyond the call of duty. All of this for a very reasonable price & same-day service! I recommend Queen Bee Removal to anyone concerned about pesticides or animal welfare. Also, I recommend them to anyone looking for great service at a great price! read more

What a great company! I called them YESTERDAY, and they came out to inspect that afternoon. after a thorough inspection, he scheduled a morning hive removal. THis morning, they showed up, removed the hive, gave us ample photo opportunities (the hive was near a big window) and let my son look his fill. They were courteous, efficient and speedy! i would reccomend this company to anyone looking to remove a hive on or near their home. And the bees get donated to a farm so they can establish a new hive! LOVE LOVE LOVE!! read more

This is probably the best bee removal service you will find in LA. I had a giant hive in my guest house that I have been ignoring for years hoping it would go away...well those little bees never left as they expanded their family to 10 or 20 thousand little furry winged friends. Queen Bee showed up on time as expected and spent nearly all day removing the hive, cleaning out the area and then sealing it properly to make sure they wouldnt come back. They also were great to seal up a few other areas around the house to ensure bees do not enter and start a new hive there too. What I learned is this service is not cheap or free but they were the best priced when I called around between a few local companies. I also feel like the job was done right and confident I wont have to deal with the bee problem for a few years atleast...now on to the racoon issue I am having in my attic :) read more

By far the easiest experience I have had with a service business. I contacted the business through yelp, they called me back real quick, I could not pick up, but they texted with me. (Super convenient when at work). I had my wife send me the picture of the hive which I subsequently sent to Queen Bee. They were able provide feedback on the spot and alleviate my concerns. We set up an appointment for the next day morning. Highly recommend! Exceptional and truly professional read more

Eugene was great. he cam to my house 2 hours after i called and diagnosed the problem. he was prompt when he came to remove the hive and all the bees that in under my roof. he did a great job! and he showed me pictures of what i was facing. even gave me a piece of honeycomb the bees started making. if you need a service for bee removal, than he is the one to call! Kevin Gorman, Calabasas, Calif read more

We had a wasp next in the ground at the base of a tree trunk. It was easy to set up an inspection and appraisal and the work was done quickly and cleanly. I like that they did not use any chemicals to remove the nest since we have dogs. read more

If you find a nest please call QBR. Eugene promptly came to the property and gave us a very reasonable quote to remove and relocate the bees. Another company I contacted would only exterminate them for a lot more money which is terrible. Please read up on the importance of bees in the environment. We don't want them living in my homes but we should not have them killed when they can be safely removed and relocated. The hive was well established and took a full morning to completely remove, the job was done professionally with minimal damage to the property. I have some amazing images too! I can't recommend Queen Bee Removal enough. read more

discovered a swarm of bees on our property and my wife insisted I find a "capture and release" service ( 4pm on July 3rd !!)........found the excellent reviews on Yelp for Eugine at Queen Bee Removal and called him at 4-15pm......much to my surprise he not only answered the phone immediately but offered to come to us when he finished in Santa Monica...he texted me when 15 minutes away, arrived on schedule, explained what he was going to do ( and as far as I was concerned at a very fair price) and by 6-30 the swarm was gone Hard to convey just how refreshing this service was 1 phone answered personally 2 Eugine is very friendly and polite 3 made a commitment and stuck to it 4.kept in touch 5.on arrival was very pleasant, efficient and effective 6 removed the swarm at a very reasonable price Other service providers take note...this was the real deal and warrants the highest possible rating from me......no hesitation in recommending Eugine if you have a bee problem......strongly suggest you make him your first call...you won't be disappointed read more

I called Friday afternoon. Said they would be at the house on Saturday between 8-10am. They called at 7:30am and said they would be at the house at 8:30. They arrived at 8:25, checked the area, told me it was a wasp nest inside the air conditioning unit, quoted me $200 for removal, safely removed the wasps and nest, and were cleaned up and gone by 9:30am. Serge and Larry were completely professional and pleasant, and took the time to show my curious 8-year-old the nest and wasps they removed. I highly recommend Queen Bee! read more

I set up a time for this company to come look at two beehives I have in the attic. They didn't show up for their appointment. I left three messages after the no-show and they didn't bother to return my call. Since I didn't have a chance to rate their service I wanted to let everyone know about their horrible customer service and no-show for the appointment!!! Not sure how they got a 5-star rating on their review!!! read more

One guy showed up to give us the bid and a different guy showed up two hours late to do the work, saying the first guy couldn't make it that day. We were told the work was guaranteed for the huge $1,200 fee (the hive was in our wall and been there for months so it was large) then after we paid and he took out half the hive he changed his mind and said now couldn't guarantee his work and we should hire an exterminator - before he even went up into our attic to further investigate - which he only did at my prodding. He couldn't refer us to an exterminator. Then, he charged us another $650 (negotiated down from $900 in a heated exchange with the office) to come a second day, promising that if he brought another helper he could really finish things up well from the attic. He showed up alone, did not finish the job and then again recommended we hire an exterminator. When we asked, he did not know the name of any beekeepers or know where he took his bees. We had to hire another bee removal company to come and finish the job - which they did without any problems and WITH a four month guarantee. When we asked to speak to the owner, they would not tell us who it was and said it was "confidential information." Huh? We learned that if we have a bee problem in the future we will find a licensed, bonded company. read more

Eugene was great. We had a hive that was growing in our fence so it was hard to see how big it was. I called Eugene and he called me right back. Even though he was super busy he was able to come out with within a couple days before our 4th of July party and remove a huge hive. He followed up with a visit at night to ensure all the bees were removed safely. Our hive was a honey bee hive so it's important the bees are transported safely. Thanks Eugene you were awesome! read more

Responded to my request on the next day, and the bee hive was removed without any issues.. Would recommend to anyone!

Professional, informative, and effective service that got rid of the massive amount of hive and bees in our attic. I was happy to see that the bees were not destroyed but would be taken to an apiary. Eugene is a gem! He and Serge came on time and did a great job! read more

We called these guys on a Thursday at 4:00PM and they were here the next morning at 8:00 on the dot. Serge came and inspected what we thought could be a hive, but he thoroughly checked it out and showed me that there was no hive, but just possibly a swarm. We highly recommend these guys and I LOVE that they don't kill the bees, they collect them and then relocate them to the Antelope Valley. GREAT COMPANY read more

Queen Bee was extremely prompt, professional and courteous. They made us feel better knowing that the bees would not be killed and would be taken to a bee farm. Any time that we contacted Queen Bee, they returned the call quickly and made service calls without any hesitation and without additional fees. I would definitely recommend Queen Bee if you have a bee problem! read more

Eugene is a true professional and, from our point of view, the gold standard in bee removal. When he came to diagnose our bee problem (hive in the roof) he was incredibly thorough. He inspected the bee invasion from the roof, from inside the attic, and from the kitchen -- he even spotted the attempt by the prior owners of the house to deal with the problem using poison gas (a solution that doesn't even work, by the way -- it's just a cheap fix that kills bees temporarily). So he knew precisely what he'd be dealing with, including removing part of the roof, extracting the hive and straggler bees and all the debris, and then patching up the area where the hive had been. We were very impressed with his work. read more

Super prompt, fast and courteous. If i ever have a bee problem again no need to look up another person to help. A++++

Phenomenal timing, service, advice, and help. Eugene was awesome. Had a ton of bees outside my daughter's room and he was patient, kind, and too-notch! No more bees!!! Would recommend to anyone who needs this service. read more

every communication from the moment of first contact was clear, professional and friendly. came out the same day within 1 hour and took down 10 wasps nests and charged me the same price they quoted for 2. not to mention they use no chemicals and don't kill anyone!! VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER! read more

Thanks Eugene for your quick help with the hive. Queen bee was professional and very efficient. Would use again.

What an amazing experience it was to work with Eugene from Queen Bee Removal. Eugene was at my house within an hour of our phone conversation. He arrived punctually, and assessed and diagnosed the situation with skill and professionalism. Other companies I called tried to scam me into paying after hour rates at 2 in the afternoon, but not Eugene. I found him honest and extremely reasonably priced. Best of all, he took care of the problem and now my kitchen is bee-free. I appreciate his help and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services. read more

We called Queen Bee on Friday because we thought we had a nest of bees under our artificial grass. They scheduled an appointment to give us an estimate as early as we were available, which was great! They came right on time and looked around. They determined that we had yellow jackets (wasps), not bees and that they were really under the concrete. They patiently explained that we really should be using an exterminator because the only way to get them out live was to break the concrete, which they felt (and we agreed) wasn't worth it. Their advice was professional, honest and generous. We will DEFINITELY call them if we have a bee problem in the future! read more
