Troubled By Bees or Wasps?

Bee Friendly Honey provides an ecologically sound and sustainable service for the physical relocation and removal of bee and wasp hives from unwanted locations. Hives of honey bees that are removed are safely relocated to our partner apiaries in the East Bay Area and the Sierra foothills. We are fully bonded and insured, and our services are entirely pesticide-free.

We always ensure complete hive removal. Unlike spray-and-leave methods, which can attract pests like rodents, ants, and wood-eating moths to decaying hives and their contents, our approach prevents such issues. Our diverse clientele includes residential and commercial customers, Homeowners Associations, property management companies, realtors, local city governments, and even the U.S. Government.

As a local, community-focused small business, we prioritize quality service over the high-volume approach of large pest control companies. We're always happy to answer your questions and typically schedule services within a week of your contact.

Thank you for supporting your local beekeeping business! Your support allows me to pursue my passion while serving the community and the earth through healthy environmental practices.” - Steve Harris, Owner and CEO
