Dan came to the rescue of our 100 year old cotton wood grandpa tree where bees came back to nest in its tree trunk. While other companies were intimidated by the task Dan reassured us that it will be ok. He made himself available and was very knowledgeable and talked about the bees with care and respect. I would highly recommend Dan to anyone who cares about our environment and our pollinators ! read more

Dan did a fantastic job removing a large hive we had high in a tree. He is very knowledgeable about bees, calm, explained everything well, and cleaned up all the debris from the process.

We got good advice about protecting a swarm on our property. We recommend them for bee situation advice.

Well if Dan and his team are good enough for Balboa Park they are way better than me. I had been romping around Balboa Park and happened upon a ginormous beehive, so every few days I would stop by and see how they where doing. This went on for over a year, I saw them and would take photos and video's. I really enjoy bees they are just so amazing and You can let your imagination go wild and they become scary even. I took footage over the year but as luck would have it. I came by with my pups just in time to see Dan and the team remove the bees to a better place. What are the odds. I tip my hat to you Dan, they where fun to watch on the trail just behind the Tennis courts, in Balboa Park. read more

We Save Bees - Dan found this box buried in the canyon. - Pest Control Near Me - San Diego, California

Bee Man Dan was highly recommended by our communities Facebook group. He's from Escondido. We contacted several beekeepers and he seemed to be the most personable and responsive with the best price for the service. All correspondence was through text after giving him a call and receiving an automatic text back. Pretty convenient as we sent over pictures and got some advice before asking him to come take a look and paid him for his services. We were definitely FOR the idea of saving the bees and rehabilitating them, that's why we are okay with paying for a beekeeper. We had a swarm of bees come in, that landed on our young avocado's tree trunk (about an inch in diameter and only 6ft tall), Tuesday afternoon. The swarm was about 4ft above the ground. Was told that it will most likely go away in a few days. We waited for a week before calling a beekeeper for prices. When they were removed, we saw some honeycombs forming, meaning they must have ran out of time to find a new hive and was starting one on our little tree. Pretty rare, but it happens, I guess. We got several other offers for cheaper (they didn't seem as reliable) and many no pickup calls. We decided to go with Dan by 2pm in the afternoon and he told us he'll see if his guys (bee wranglers) finish up early and can stop by later today or will definitely tomorrow morning at 9am. A Bee Wrangler (his name was Hutch), came in the morning, on time (early), and removed the bees within the hour! He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions! Wow, it was so amazing to watch the whole process, it was so finesse! read more

I had a bee colony take over a birdhouse in my yard. I needed to relocate the colony asap for personal reasons. Dan was able to send someone out the next morning despite their busy schedule to get the job done. They were a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend! read more

Monique did a great job professionally removing a hive from our backyard! Great communication via text and she even took videos for us. Thanks for relocating our bees! read more

Bee Man Dan was great. He came when he said he would and promptly removed a hive that had made a home in an old tool box. It was nice to know the bees would actually be getting a new welcoming home that wasn't ours! read more

I had Dan the Bee Man come over to my property several times many years ago to remove some bees that kept coming back and he did good work removing them but when I decided I wanted to keep the bees I asked him to put them in a bee box for me so they could stay on the property. He stated he would take them home and replace my queen and get them settled in a box and then come back. So I paid him several hundred dollars for all of that and he kept making excuses why he couldn't bring my bees back month after month after month. After almost a year, he just started ghosting me. I never got my money back either after he took my bees. read more

I am a beekeeper myself and was introduced to Dan when I was just getting started beekeeping. I purchased my first hive from Dan, and have called and relied on him many times over the years with questions. Dan and his crew are super experienced in handling bees in many different situations. The "Bee Wranglers" that work for Dan are all great guys who do everything from delivering hives to beekeepers in and around San Diego, to capturing errant swarms, to actually extracting full hives of bees who have made their homes in an unwanted location. I had a hive that became more and more aggressive over the past year, until they got to a point that i didn't want to handle them anymore. Dan sent two of his guys to seal up the hive and take it to a far away aviary to be rehabilitated. Dan and his guys are real pros, if you have any issues with bees or need a hive of your own, Dan is the guy to call. read more

Monique and Marley were great! They figured out we didn't have an underground hive after all; the bees were just visiting to drink from a leaky sprinkler. Big props to a business that can say, "You don't need to buy anything from us." If we have an issue in the future, we'll definitely call them back. read more

Highly recommend Bee Man Dan and crew! We had bees take up residence in an old spa several years ago and when it came time to clean up the space, I knew without a doubt that I wanted them safely relocated and not harmed. Dan came highly recommended so I reached out and was able to get scheduled within the week. Silas came out and boy, is he a wealth of information!! My husband and I learned so much. To our surprise, the colony was no longer active (bees had absconded) at some point since the call but Silas still cleaned up the combs and advised us on what to do to keep new bees from arriving. Many thanks to Silas for his help and the knowledge he so freely shared with us. Save those bees and call Bee Man Dan! read more

I called Dan when we had a bee swarm on a tree in front of my house. He was out of town, but still helped and answered questions. He gave me great information and did not charge for the consultation; and he even gave me a follow-up call the next day. The bees eventually left, as he said they would. read more

Bey reasonable pricing and he doesn't not harm the colony. Simply takes it away for use in farming community.

PEGGY H (Trabuco Canyon, CA): I was gone for vacation for about 2 weeks, when I came home to a large beehive (about the size of a soccer ball) attached to my roof! I immediately began researching and contacting many bee companies within the area, and We Save Bees/Bee Man Dan were the fastest to respond. It was evident right away that all the employees in these companies would be very accommodating and patient with me during this stressful time. I first spoke to Loree on the phone where I stated my problem and concerns. By sending her pictures via text, I got my estimate right away. Then the next day, someone already came to solve the problem! They took down the hive really quickly, and they reassured me that the bees would be put in a good home. The next day, they came by once again to do a thermal scan of the roof area to make sure there was not another hive forming inside my roof (thank goodness there wasn't!) Overall, they were such a great company to work with! I highly recommend their services if anyone else has a bee problem. Their service was so accommodating and speedy. read more

We used Bee Man Dan last year as we had a few bees in the attic and around one corner of the house. Dan and his team came and took a look, built a contraption on the side of the house (strange wire cone and hanging box) and we waited. we ended up having two hives settle down with only a few swarms occurring which was fine- as long as you didnt panic! My wife trained as a bee keeper in the UK to help teach of their importance to the ecosystems so we were very happy to have them rehoused. read more

I've had a hive in my owl box up in a tree for the last 3 years. I have a small avocado farm and kept them for pollination. I needed the hive moved to another location on the property (the tree they were in needed to come down). It is an established hive and so the box would be very heavy (they can be over 100lbs). Dan rigged up a pulley and lowered the hive gently into a cart and moved it to the other location. He then left a capture box in the original location since about 20% of the hive were out foraging. I was able to move the capture box myself 2 days later at nighttime (the bees are surprisingly calm at night). The next day many bees came back, estimated around 3,000 (maybe 10% of the hive) . I called Dan and he explained that this was normal. The problem was, these bees were not so happy and I couldn't get with 50 feet of the old area with getting harassed. I texted Dan and he send someone over to handle the remaining bees. Since he considered this to be somewhat dangerous he got someone to our house even though it was the 4th of July! I would recommend Dan to anyone and will use him for any future bee needs. read more

The bee wranglers; Jerad and Kasey of "We Save Bees" came to relocate the bee hive. That's more reason to select Dan's outfit, because it relocates bee hive with bees and not killing bees. And, they accept my offer to be an apprentice working up close with one of them. Informative and fear-busting experience. read more

First time having a MAJOR bee problem... Days before solar panels were scheduled to be installed, I noticed a bunch of bees swarming around my roof!!! Called a few places... Nobody returned my calls except Dan the Bee Man! Dan and his crew were quick, professional, very informative, and were able to remove the bees safely. read more

It started out good. Dan came and gave us a quote. He did the work. However, the bees still persisted. Turned out that there was another hive that we weren't aware of. Dan quoted us for another job. We paid him for that job too. However the bees still persisted. Dan pretty much gave up and told me that he charged me too little for the work and that the money I gave him is not worth it for him to follow up on. He suggested that I just call the exterminators. Which made NO sense to me since he was the one who convinced me to use him over exterminators due to the risks involved with leaving bee hives and honey in the walls of your house. He again assured me that he has done everything that he can do and that he can only suggest that I use the chimney and hope that the bees will leave due to the smoke. I smoked it out nearly everyday for about 4 months. The bees still persisted. Dan would not follow up and he said that his job was done. I think we misunderstood what the job was. I wanted the bees to be removed from my chimney and they were still there. Dan told me that his job was to take them out and put the filler and sealing. I guess whether the bees come back inside is none of his concern. I felt like I paid Dan to come and make some holes in my chimney, put some pink filler in there and leave. I thought the whole purpose of sealing and putting the filler in was to prevent the bees coming back. I don't even know if something else happened or if something wasn't sealed correctly. Dan wouldn't come back to check up on it and COMMUNICATE with me. I guess the warranty doesn't really mean anything. read more

Dan sent Christopher to take care of the hive at my house and it was a great experience. Christopher was great at communicating and educating me throughout the process. His passion was very evident and he was also very personable. He made sure that I felt informed and comfortable with every step and his craftsmanship was superb as well. I highly recommend! read more

Thank you for relocating the bees. Dan provided a thorough explanation upfront of what needed to be done to remove bees from inside my kitchen vent. He gave the approximate time frame of how long the process would be. This really helped when the strange contraption was built so I understood what it was for and knew what to expect. It took about 4 weeks and the bees were relocated today. Hopefully the bees won't come back. All the staff were friendly and professional. They really knew a lot about bees. I truly appreciate them for making a stressful situation sort of stress free. Thank you! read more

Highly recommend Bee Man Dan who was efficient, professional and fairly priced. He came within a week of our call to remove the beehive and bees from our roof in one day. Did a great job. read more

Tried to contact them yesterday, all I got was a busy signal for 30 min. When a woman finally answered, she said she would text me, and wanted me to text back with photos. Well, she never sent any text. When I tried to call back...busy signal again. I guess Dan is too busy to help? read more

Avoid this company if you can. There's a lot of room for improvement with Dan's communication and ethics. I reached out to Dan and the office staff for bee removal receiving contradictory info from both. The office staff said the bees would move on on their own but then a few days later Dan texted saying he'd send someone to collect the bees and we'd schedule an appointment in the next couple days. The fee would be $350 for a very small hive. Great, I thought. Lets get this done. Over a week later I get a text from Dan saying a wrangler would be at my house in a couple hours to collect the bees. Huh? No one ever contacted me about appointment days/times, there had been zero communication from this company and the hive had dwindled down considerably. The wrangler showed up, took a couple pics of the hive and said there was no need to remove them. So much time had passed and the bees were in fact moving on. He spent less than 15 min at our property. A couple weeks later I received a bill for $150. Never once did Dan or the office staff communicate there would be a fee for not removing bees. When I reached out to the office to discuss this I never received a reply. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere. read more

We had a male/female crew come by & are still very happy with their work, 2 years later. I saw their care in how they worked. I think that the bees appreciated them also, but I couldn't get them to give me a quote as I don't understand bee-talk! I was also happy with the cost (quite reasonable!). R. Serafine read more

Bee Man Dan came as a recommended referral from one of our trusted Pest Control Companies my agency has done business with. Out of several Bee Removal Proposals, Bee Man Dan was selected and the service was excellent: - Great Customer Service - Timely Communicaiton - Reasonably Priced - Rapid Turnaround Service The bee hive was located inside a portion of a residential roof and Bee Man Dan expertly and humanely removed the hive, honey comb, and other bee debris. The roof portion itself was restored well enough to the point my agency was able to step in and begin a scheduled roof repair just days later. A pleasure to work with Bee Man Dan and his Team! read more

We asked for a quote for bee removal in 3 spots. They came out did part of the job without giving a quote and then insisted on payment. One easy hive removal for $350. While Dan may know bee's but his business skills and ethics are in question. this is the exact email sent HI Dan, thank you for this - can we make an appointment for you to come out and estimate removing the other hives? they seem to be getting out of control. thank you!!! clearly asks for an estimate - why Dan is confused I have no idea. I think we need to look at the facts. read more

Had them come out to Fullerton to remove a few wasps nests for a Halloween party we were having. They came out on 3 days notice, and were in communication with me over the weekend before as well. They sent me pictures of the work, and when I had questions about the work, the office checked in to make sure I was satisfied. I appreciated their work, and their concern for my satisfaction. Would definitely recommend them and use their services again. read more

We discovered a large hive in our backyard tree about 25 feet up in the air. I called The Bee Man and his personable and friendly crew arrived to deal with the relocation. I learned so much about bees! Fascinating. You can tell these people know what they are doing and care about our planet and the bees. Huge ladders and careful rope pulley systems were implemented to carefully cut and lower the tree branch ( if you leave any residue of the hive the bees will come back ). I could not believe how hard they worked and how gentle they were. The hive was lowered and bees and honeycomb carefully relocated into a bee box for transport hopefully to a new bee keeper Home ! My yard and branch was carefully cleaned and all residue removed. Wow !!! Can't say enough good things. Price was very reasonable. Excellent work ethic. Great people. Highly recommend. read more

Dan is the man! Called him yesterday during a Sunday afternoon (expecting to go straight to voicemail), but he answered and was very respectful. He asked about the situation and I described it and even sent him pictures that you will see on this post. Dan called back and he gave me his honest opinion and informed me about the behavior of bees in general. What surprised me was his advice was to wait until Tuesday and he said that it would be 80% chance that the bees would leave my tree. It is Monday, a day later, and they are all gone! I called multiple businesses like Dan's, but they all wanted money right away and none gave me friendly insight like Dan. I appreciate Dan for his honest advice and not trying to just make a buck, honest people like Dan get my upmost respect. If I ever need services offered by Dan I will most definitely call him right away. Although I didn't receive his services, just by his expertise and professionalism I can ensure that his service will not disappoint! Thank you Dan! read more

Dan is great. Very fast response to my initial call. The hive was in a Pepper tree at a rental property and we were concerned about the kids living there but we were worried about saving the bees too. The bee wranglers removed the bees in the rain. Dan sent me a photo of his bee hotel on a covered porch. We couldn't be happier. read more

Bees had built a hive inside a telecom post. The cable company poisoned the bees one year, but did nothing to prevent the bees from coming back. Afraid for the bees, I called Dan to rescue and relocate them. Dan's people did an excellent job gently and patiently nudging the bees into a transitional home and sealing the post. They will even give me a bee box to install in my garden! I highly recommend Dan and his workers who were kind and caring. read more

Some bees moved into a water control panel at the foot of the stairs leading up to my front door during the rains last Thursday, and when it became clear that the bees were not going to leave on their own I called We Save Bees and was put into contact with Dan. He responded via text right away even though he was on a job at the time and I was able to send him all the info he needed before he called me back which made setting up the next-day appointment very easy. My bee removal guy was Jonathan and he was very polite and professional, he called 20 minutes before arriving to let me know he was on his way, and I received a receipt and even photos and video documenting my bee removal which was pretty cool. The price was in line with what my husband and I had researched for a live bee removal of our size and I feel that the service was worth it. Would definitely recommend! read more
