Wow!! What a great experience we had with AA Beekeepers!! a huge hive of bees moved in to a frog statue in our backyard! AA Beekeepers came out the same day and safely removed the bees. It was really important to me that the bees were not harmed, and that they would be moved to another location where they could keep the colony together to continue making their hive. That's exactly what AA Beekeepers do. They carefully remove the colony of bees and relocate them to continue pollinating. Bees are so important to our environment and we must protect them. Thank you, AA Beekeepers for a job done! keep on protecting our pollinators. We need them! I highly recommend this company! read more

They can quote by just looking at the photos we sent and they were able to come the next day even it's Sunday. The hives are hidden inside the wall of the front yard so it had to be cut open. The cut was clean and wall was later seal very nicely. Nice work! The technician was very gentle to the bees when they were transferred to a box. Very happy with the service, highly recommended. read more

AA-Beekeepers were very responsive when we found that bees had started making a hive in our home from an existing hole in the stucco of our home. They came out the day after our request and the bees were moved to a new home in two. We chose AA-Beekeeper because of their careful preservation of the bees and their hive. The removal was accessed from the outside and barely looks noticable against the white stucco of our home. We are happy with their flexibility and speed of the project completion. read more

Discovered bees flying in and out of a hole in a retaining wall. Called AA and they came out the first time to inspect, the second time to install a one-way device to get the bees out and keep them out, and then someone to trap the bees (see photo) and take them off to an avocado orchard. Despite rain and high winds, they stuck to the timetable and got 99+% of the bees out and on their way. This is obviously a one-off, so I really have no comparison other than to state that I am very pleased with their responsiveness and punctuality. True professionals. read more

Great communication, was prompt and thorough in their work and cleared a large hive in an apartment unit I managed. Cleaned up and covered the hole they cut out well, making it very easy to finish the repairs later. Will definitely be using again for future bee hives read more

AA Beekeeping came by to give us a quote on removing and relocating a hive from our tree. I wish I had better understood the costs before the technician came out so I did not wast anyone's time. Perhaps giving a generalized idea or average cost could be helpful when clients first call in. Otherwise, the office staff were extremely helpful. The technician was later than anticipated but very friendly and knowledgeable. Cost- one thing that surprised be was just how expensive the bee removal would be. The safety of the bees were our first priority but $550-800 for removal was staggering due, in part, to my ignorance. AA-Beekeeping quoted us $600 for our removal, which based on what I learned was very fair. Unfortunately, this cost was too much for us at this time so our bees will be with us for a bit longer. read more

AA-Beekeeper Live Bee Removal - Where our bees are in the tree. - Pest Control Near Me

I cannot speak more highly of AA-Beekeeper. After doing a ton of research and getting many people out to look at the job, AA-Beekeper did a thorough job of taking my roof apart , removing what was an astounding bee infestation and then re-patching my roof. I'm attaching a photo of just a portion of what they had to remove. The two men that came out to do the job were exceptionally professional, courteous and calm . They are TRULY BEE EXPERTS . I also asked if they would relocate and they told me that they do. It was extremely important to me that this was done even though I'm a bit terrified of the tiny creatures. Fascinating day to watch them work. You can look at other sites but literally after calling a ton of people and getting several estimates, this company by far exceeded my expectations . THEY ARE BEE REMOVAL MASTERS!!!!! read more

AA-Beekeeper Live Bee Removal - Portion of bee colony that was removed from inside my roof - Pest Control Near Me

We had a bee hive building up on our palm tree, it was getting bigger by the day. we called AA Beekeeper for Murrieta and Sergio came out, in no time it was removed with no problem. He was such a nice man and very precise on what he was doing. Great job,. I would not think twice on what company to call again if I ever need another Bee removal. Thanks for a great job! read more

We had a hive in the corner eave of a tile roof, above the balcony of our hillside home. The drop to the bottom is at least a 100'. Sergio and his crew were fearless! Within 2 hours, he had removed the hive and taken pictures, repaired the roof, and took the bees with them. We haven't seen a bee since. Can't recommend AA Beekeepers highly enough! read more

AA Beekeeper came to our house to remove a hive that was inside a wall. They did a great job, removing the bees (not killing them) and repaired what they had to cut through to get to the hive. And Sergio, the team leader, was terrific. I highly recommend them. read more

Earth and bee-friendly relocation is what I was hoping for when a beehive made its new home inside our attic. AA Beekeeper responded promptly to my weekend call, confirmed they do live bee removal (not exterminate) and provided a modest estimate. We paid a fair price to have a beautiful (I asked for photos) hive relocated safely to San Diego Beekeeping Society. AA Beekeepers - thanks for saving our bees! Our bees are now with read more

These guys were nothing but professional, courteous and did an amazing job removing the bees from our home. Everyone I worked with through the process, from the people in the office to the field were knowledgeable, thorough and I couldn't recommend them enough! Well done! And thank you for doing such an incredible job and keeping the bees safe, alive and relocated to a new home. read more

A rare occasion that you have bee issues, but when you are in need bee removal the AA beekeepers are great. I called around (the county, beekeeper association, etc) they were the most responsive, communicated over the phone or text. They gave a reminder call the day off and 1 hour advanced notice. The removal was straight forward - a crew of three had everything under control and provided updates as needed throughout the process. read more

We keep getting bees in our house and it's infuriating! This is the 3rd time we've had bees and the second time AA Bee Keepers have come out. They are always so professional and do an amazing job. They respond quickly and arrive on time. I love that they save the bees instead of killing them. This last time they patched up all of the crevices so hopefully we won't get bees again! read more

Called, left a message, and got a return call from someone (no caller ID) who just said "I'm returning your call." They seemed offended when I asked who they were. (It was AA Beekeeper). Was told they were busy, but would call later in the week. They never called. I called once a week for four straight weeks after that. Each time, a very pleasant female told me she would talk to a supervisor and they'd call. They never did. This is no way to run a business. read more

Efficient, Professional and very quick response. They came and assessed the situation and were able to open up my roof, get out about 25lbs of hive and honey out of my roof/crawl space. They patched the roof back up after they removed all the bees, hive and honey. There were here for about 2 hours. Why not 5 stars?? They were expensive. Maybe it just cost more to do a live removal???? I got a 4 month guarantee also. read more

We had an infestation of bees under a Spanish tile roof. AA Beekeeper responded immediately to our call and had a crew on site within an hour. They were able to non-invasively locate the bees exact location with a thermal camera and had a removal team on site the following day. Sergio coordinated the entire process from start to finish and was great to work with as were his technicians Alex and Eddie. Very very satisfied and highly recommend this company to anyone needing bee removal services. read more

Had about 4000 bees starting a hive in a wall of a back unit, called bee friendly at 1:30 Sat afternoon and by 2:45 a nice professional by the name of Voss came and took care of the situation quick and easy... Very reasonable with the price and even sealed up the hole in the wall they were coming in and out of... Thanks guys!!! -Adam read more

I called them at 3:20 on a Saturday afternoon and they were at my house by 5:30! I thought it was a bit pricey ($425 to remove 2 small hives and insulate a tree that had another large hive) for only two hours of work, but for the convenience of them coming out immediately and the friendly, helpful service, I was satisfied. read more

I was very happy with the quick response they gave us to rid us of the bees we had on our campus. They got here quickly and went to work. They were professional and helpful in educating us on the bees. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who has a bee problem! TY AA-Beekeeper read more

i had a guy from this co come out. he was on time and did the work of removing a large bee hive. saving the live bees. highly recommend this company ellen read more

We reached out to AA-Beekeeper when we noticed a swarm near our house, they came out same day and actually removed a fairly large hive! What I love about this company is there great communication, professionalism and the fact they relocate the bees. Supposedly when removing a hive, some straggler bees can be left behind for a bit and after a few weeks per my request, AA came back again to remove any remaining bees. They are so prompt and personable. It's high bee season and I highly recommend giving them a call. Super knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you again! read more

Theses guys were great. I really didn't know I had a bee problem until about a week ago. Hornet spray doesn't work. The bees had already built a huge nest. The bee guy's came out the same day that I called. The original price they quoted 150 which I thought was more than fair. By the time they got there and saw what the bees had done they said the only way they could get them out was to open the wall. So the price went up to 450. After complaining about the price I offered them 350 and they said OK. They knew just how far up the wall they need to go to get to the hive. The hive filled up about a foot from the bottom of a white trash bag. They left about an hour ago. If I add an update you'll know the bees are back. Money well spent. read more

Great service & price. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Tech was very friendly & knew his bees!

Excellent service, very helpful and professional. Thank you for helping! I have already recommended this company to some family and friends. -Christy read more

They WERE great. After two rings on the phone, it switches to a busy signal. Their web page was taken down. What happened? How can I find them. I have bees again in our house. (They've been gone for 4 years.) read more

John did a great job. I was very pleased with the price,quality and how fast they were able to schedule and complete the work. 80 lbs. in the ceiling and wall by the chimney. read more

We used them for a major bee removal and they were great. They were very professional and helpful. A month later, the bees have no come back. I would recommend them. A little expensive is my only minor issue. read more

These guys are a rip-off! Do Not Use. They charged $400 for bee removal and said the honey-comb had to be removed as well for an additional $1000 or the bees would come back. Bees came back. Paid the $1000 and then they called and said they need an additional $1200 to do another section. I said I needed it in writing and exactly what they did and were going to do. Heard back nothing. Called another company and they said these people did nothing - except exterminate the original colony - and not even all of that. They took care of the problem at a fraction of the cost. read more

I called at 6:40pm on a Friday evening and they arrived by 7:30pm. Anthony and Carlos were both friendly and professional. They removed the bees efficiently from a patio table under my orange tree where the bees were swarming. I am able to use my backyard and my Man Cave again thanks to Bee Friendly Bee Removal. I would recommend them to all of my friends and family! - Mike the Laker/Dodger Fan read more

I called "Bee Friendly Bee Removal" and told them about the approx. 20,000 bees that had built a hive INSIDE one of the vents to our house. "Bee Friendly Bee Removal" arrived within a couple of hours. In approx. one hour they completely remedied the situation. On the phone, I dealt with a gentleman named Al. Al was a total professional with heart from the very beginning. He answered all of my questions and thoroughly explained everything I wanted to know. He made me and my family feel like our satisfaction was his number one priority. A technician by the name of Sergio arrived almost immediately. Sergio was extremely courteous, cordial, very kind and unbelievably professional. It was crystal clear that he always had our best interest in mind. He made us feel comfortable and at ease as soon as he arrived. Once he was "in" the swarm of bees, he even took a couple of pictures just so we could see how bad it actually was. His kindness and generosity was edifying and greatly appreciated. We were so impressed we even offered him a tip, and he kindly and very respectfully declined it. We were moved by this. He told us that he knew how hard times were and that he didn't want burden a family more. What impressed us even more was when I called the company back and found out that Sergio could have easily taken our tip and everything would have been fine. It was not "against policy" to have accepted the tip, and yet Sergio still selflessly and respectfully declined it. God bless him. It's people like Al and Sergio that give companies a great name. From A - Z, it was an awesome experience to have had the privileged of having worked with Al, Sergio and the "Bee Friendly Bee Removal" organization. STRONGLY RECOMMEND THEM!!! THEY ARE SIMPLY THE BEST!!! - Eduardo Cerna and family, EXTREMELY SATISFIED CUSTOMERS! :) read more

STAY AWAY! We gave a very detailed description, size, location, etc. and was quoted $150 for the removal. After the technician arrived three hours late we were told the job would be $350. BAIT AND SWITCH!!! Read the other reviews, Tony L. had the same experience. read more

Avoid at all costs. Met and received estimate...fine. Scheduled appointment. Took afternoon off work to meet and they no showed. No call, no response to my call. Do not use this unprofessional service. Zero stars if possible. There are better alternatives out there. read more

This is in regards to the Craig B. review. I was the property manager, Craig B. is the owner of the property. Bee Friendly was totally unprofessional. First Max showed up to take care of the problem and afterwards could never be found again. Then a guy named Voss took over and just kept wanting to charge more and more even though bees kept swarming all over and they were not being dealt with. The company that finally resolved the problem said no hive removal was done and really didn't need to be done. (And they were a fraction of the cost!) I am still waiting for an invoice from Bee Friendly which I requested many times. I have put a stop payment on the credit card charges because they didn't do what they said they were going to do. Great idea, yes I will also file complaint with the BBB. Bottom line is they charged $400, then $990 and said they need another $990 to resolve the bees. Finally - the other company charged $250 and came back the next day and the problem is solved. What a difference in money and customer service. read more
