Bumble bees commonly build their nests in abandoned burrows and other animal nests, favoring the fluffy insulation they provide to keep their hives warm. These nests can be located both underground and in the attics of structures, nestled within the insulation. Bumble bees are typically large, ranging from 1/4" to 1" in length, covered in fuzzy hair with distinctive black and yellow markings. It is common to find bumble bees of varying sizes within a single nest.

Bee Friendly Honey

Lafayette, California based Bee Friendly Honey is the best place to have a honey bee swarm collected from your yard or hive carefully removed from your property without hurting any of the bees. We also remove unwanted wasps and hornet nest. Call for a free estimate!

Bee Friendly Honey offers a physical hive removal service! Steve is fully licensed and bonded, and we are entirely pesticide free. We offer a sustainable and ecologically sound way to remove pests from unwanted places: hives of removed honey bees are relocated to our apiaries that are located in the Bay Area and the foothills of the Sierras, primarily Angel's Camp and Murphys.

Hives are always removed completely: we never spray and leave the hive as is, as decaying hives and their inhabitants can attract rodents and ants who go after the honey or the larvae. Simply plugging up a hole in the wall in front of the hive will do little good---insects are crafty, and can find alternative ways into your living space!

If you’re dealing with a hive, give us a call! We are local and community focused, NOT a large pest control company! We care about the quality of services provided, and are happy to answer any questions you might have. We can usually schedule you within the week that you call. Details on each type of hive removal are below---call us for a price estimate, or with any questions!

Bee Friendly Honey produces a great tasting honey in several floral notes and pollen harvested fresh from the hive. Our products are 100% LOCAL, PURE, RAW and UNFILTERED.
