My tenant scheduled w/smiling bee, they were home by 3 on Saturday. You didn't even want to wait a few minutes. Just wasted a whole wk, did you bother calling to reschedule since you didn't make an effort at all? read more

The Smiling Bee came out within 2 hours of our call about wasps that were swarming around our house. The team was quick, professionally and didn't use chemicals because of our small son (their suggestion!) Was really impressed and appreciative of their knowledge as well. They were very kind as well. I really recommend this local, wonderful business! read more

Braulio did a great job of removing a hive of yellow jackets from a brick planter. Afterwards, he filled in the gopher hole that had hosted the hive. His charges were quite reasonable. And he did not complain about my being late to our appointment. read more

Very Happy to have had Brian come out and take care of the bee hive in the garage . Very caring and kind man who takes good care of the bees ! His work ethic is unbeatable ! I called left a message and he got back to me the same day and set up an appointment the next day with his colleague Wendy for an estimate , whom i have also written a review about for The Honey Ladies . He showed up on time the day of the job and got right to work with the bees . Both work together great and would call again for any of my pest control needs ! I love the fact that the Bees went to Brians Almond Orchard . I also bought a jar of Honey from Wendy . She sells at the Farmers Market and also has a website TheHoneyladies.com . If you have any Bee problems i highly recommend Brian and Wendy for the job . His prices are reasonable and competitive . read more

Great, friendly and HONEST service. Smiling Bee came over to my house for a consult as I noticed an increase in wasps in the front yard. He looked around the perimeter for nests and concluded that while there were no nests, the wasps were there because mosquitos were hiding in the grass and a bush had caterpillars. Suggested I have my gardener spray these two areas. Bummed that there will be no wasp hunting today but also appreciative of the honest advice as opposed to paying for an unnecessary charge. read more

I was very impressed with the attention and care Smiling Bee gave our situation. I loved watching the bee gathering process and knowing the bees weren't being executed buy rather relocated. It was a good experience and I would highly recommend using this company. read more

I don't understand how you're still in business, I left multiple messages before I received a call back. I had to take time off work for them to come, only to have them not show up. By far most unpleasant experience, left me to call another company which provided the professional service you would expect. read more

Besides the fair prices, the customer service was top notch! Not only did Mr. Medina help us with our bee issue, he gave us a free lesson on what bees are all about. We are glad we called him and gave the bees a chance to do what they do - work hard to make honey! If you thought you cannot find honest people anymore, you thought wrong! Give him a call - you will not regret it! read more

I called him on thursday night when i saw a looooot of wasp in my living room. He came on that night and took care of what we thought the most of it (on the top of the chimney), and he was going to clean up the rest next day. The next morning we saw quite a number of wasp in the living room, and turned out there was another hive near the bottom of the chimney. He took care of that one too. I am very satisfied with the service provided and he charged reasonably considering the efforts and time he spent on. I would definitely call him again for future works. read more

Excellent service. He worked around plans for a large party in our back yard to remove bees from our hot tub enclosure. Would call him first if we ever need this service again. read more

Quick service. Up front pricing. Very respectful/careful of your floors/walls/etc. Knows his stuff. Will definitely use again.

Smiling Bee is your solution to bee problems. When I called, I was called right back and promised that they would come to my house within 30 minutes which they did. The owner of the company gave me a fair estimate up front to kill and remove two yellow jacket in-ground nests which were causing major problems in my front and back yard. Within an hour both ground nests were compromised with yellow jacket killer medicine and thoroughly removed from the ground. On top of removing the nests, Smiling Bee cleaned up the affected area. I cannot recommend Smiling Bee enough. The owner of the company was the person who preformed the work and he did an outstanding job of completing the job on time and within the estimate given. If you have a bee or yellow jacket or wasp problem above or below ground then call Smiling Bee. You will be as pleased and content as I am. read more

I completely agree with all the five star reviews. I had a bee hive inside the wall of a storage shed in my back yard. Broulio came out and removed the bees and hive and patched the wall and outside of the unit where the bees were entering. He really knows his stuff and is truly an educated bee specialist. I found him very reliable and when he was running a little late he called me right away to let me know and I appreciated that courtesy. The best part is that Broulio did not kill the bees, but relocated them to an orchard. I've been hearing that the bee population is declining, so I did not want them destroyed. I completely recommend Broulio. He even said if the bees came back he would come back at no extra charge. J. Souza read more

Discovered a wasp nest, dripping honey, on the second-story beams by the front porch. Reviewed Yelp. Called the Smiling Bee and Brian came out that same afternoon (on a Sunday.) Quickly removed the wasp nest and found a second one in the gutters. Also removed "petrified mushroom" that had grown on the fascia. He's also a bee keeper (1300 boxes) so I learned about honey. Highly recommend him. Great customer service, knowledgeable, efficient and a nice guy, ta bout! read more

Braulio quickly removed a few wasp nests above my garage door and upstairs bedroom window. Great service

we have used Braulio and his crew twice in 8 years. Won't hesitate again. We have some new bees and are keeping an eye on them. Might need to call the Smiling Bee again in a few days. They are the best! read more

We had yellow jackets coming into our living room from the attic. 20 yellow jackets flying around in the house is not fun. My Orkin guy came out, but could not find the nest. Braulio came within a couple of hours of calling him, found the nest in minutes, and completely removed it for us. The price was very reasonable, especially for something I could never do myself. And he's a really nice guy, too. I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

Called Smiling Bee and owner asked me to text him my address. Did so and he was here in 15-20 minutes. immediately set about getting rid of a nasty Yellow Jacket community who had found a home under my driveway. Took care of the "bees," removed the nest, and filled it in with dirt. All accomplished in about 30 minutes. He said to call him if any "bees" returned and he would come out - at not cost. I'm very happy with Smiling Bee and the cost was below quotes I had received from other exterminators. read more

What an interesting experience! Smiling Bee turned a potentially stressful situation into an educational experience for my whole family. Bryan was very professional and knowledgable (third generation) about bees. He came to my house on a Saturday evening to remove a hive that had moved into the wall of my garage, without us even knowing. He could tell they were there just by putting his hand on the wall. Sure enough, when we cut open the wall, there were over a thousand of bees in there forming a hive. He was able to safely remove the bees without hurting them--a great outcome for everyone. He was also really nice and seems like a really great guy. I highly recommend him. read more

Reliable. Fast. Professional. Experts. Removed a large wasp nest inside my home's wall. Accessed and removed from the outside of our home. Replaced and sealed with a guarantee they won't return to that spot. I highly recommend this business. read more

If I could give more stars I would. We found the bees coming out of two gofer holes in the ground on a Saturday evening and having a dog and two small boys that love being outside it was of a big concern. I called Smiling Bee to just leave a message right after we found them and he actually picked up. Braulio was a pleasure to talk to and he said that he could come out the next day which was a Sunday and we are in Gilroy. He arrived on time, was professional and took care of it quickly. He even took the time to show my boys the hive that they dug out of the ground. Of course he showed it through the window to us. I would defiantly recommend this company and I will be keeping his number handy. read more

We discovered a couple of wasp nests on our home and gave them a call. They showed up the same day, on time, removed them quickly and were really reasonable with pricing. He even plugged a hole in the wall for us to make sure no wasps go inside. Highly recommend! read more

I had a fantastic experience with Smiling Bee. I found a giant wasp's nest near my back door and decided to call Smiling Bee after reading the reviews. Braulio and his son-in-law were able to fit me in the same day -- they showed up on time, quoted a fair price, and successfully removed the nest after I gave them the go-ahead. (Note: Braulio goes by "Brian" also -- he said many people have trouble understanding his name when they call the first time so he started saying Brian to make it easy -- which is why some of these reviews talk about Braulio and some talk about Brian. Same person!) Braulio also inspected all the eaves around the house and found 4-5 other nests which they also removed. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant -- would absolutely call Smiling Bee if I have bee issues in the future! read more

Brian is wonderful. We called him to remove a wasp nest and he came the very next morning to take care of it. He also inspected all the vents and eaves thoroughly and removed another hive. Highly recommend him!! read more

We found a wasps nest in the patio between the rafters one day and weren't sure what to do. While other pest control businesses quoted us $150 without even knowing what was needed to be done, Brian from Smiling Bee told us he'd come, check it out, give us a quote and if we wanted him to do it - he would. No pressure. He came, he saw, and need I say, he conquered. He quoted us $90 to get it done, he also inspected the house and found two other budding/old nests which he removed, checked the dog house, tool shed etc. Thorough and good value! Service with a smile and a great attitude! Would definitely recommend and use again (hope we never have to :P). read more

I am so glad that i chose Smiling bee for bee nest removal. Braulio is really good at what he does. Called them and got an appointment the day after. He finished the job in no time. Very happy with his services. I highly recommend him. read more

Braulio was awesome. This is the kind of independent business you dream of dealing with when you have a problem around the house. Called on Thursday morning and he agreed to come by our place after I got home from work that day. He was smart, efficient and friendly - and charged me the fair price that he quoted over the phone. Stop looking at other reviews and call this guy! read more

I would highly recommend the Smiling Bee. They are very professional and definitely knowledgeable about bees. We had over 40,000 bees doing their thing in several vent holes of our second story home. Bryan was prompt and did exactly what he promised he would do. He guarantees all his work and we would not hesitate to use his services again. Though I hope we never see his friendly face again! read more

Smiling bee is amazing. I had a major bee emergency that I walked in to at 5:30 in the evening. I believe that he was already closed and done for the day, but he still came out anyways. I am so thankful for you. I had a bathroom full of yellow jackets and with 2 small children I was freaking out. He arrived to my house in about 20 minutes and located the hive in my attic and was able to clean the hive out and get rid of all of the bees in about 30-45 minutes. I am so happy beyond belief with the excellent service that I received and I will recommend Smiling bee to everyone I know. read more

Braulio is great! He and his co-worker came out same day that I called, dug down about two feet in my yard and pulled out a wasp nest about the size of a small melon. Thanks! read more

Professional service. Quick response. Competitive pricing. Highly recommend. No wasps. We had some persistent issues with wasps getting into our condo. We always encountered only one wasp indoors at a time, so it was more of an annoyance rather than an urgent situation for us. We eventually got around to bringing in a professional to come in and take a look. Called Smiling Bee and scheduled an appointment for the following day. We showed him where we had discovered one old nest in the attic. He took that one out, and did a little more investigating and took out another three nests. He also installed some netting around our bathroom vents to prevent them from getting indoors in the future. Overall, it took about an hour. So far, no issues. Great experience. We'd use Smiling Bee again. read more

We called because we were having a problem with paper wasp and yellow jackets. We called and he came within an hour. He was super nice and knowledgeable. He cleaned up a spot above our garage that had nests and made sure the bees and wasps no longer could get to their nest. Reasonably priced and efficient. Highly recommend their services! read more

My house's master bedroom was invaded by horde of yellow jackets. I called but did not leave message as I wanted to talk to live person. But they called back hour later asking if I needed their help. As it was later Sunday afternoon, I scheduled for early Monday morning appointment around 8:30 AM. They came around 9:00 AM and went promptly to work. There was very large wasp nest between the wall next master bedroom that required accessing from outside by cutting open the wall from outside. They removed the nest and resealed the wall fast. Price was fair and I am very happy with their service. read more

Braulio was very helpful, immediately responding. He came the next day to remove the beehive and bees, relocating them to a safer location. Friendly, considerate and thorough in his work. read more

I purchased eight hive from Smiling Bees back in February. A short time later, there were some issues with a couple of the hives. Contacted Braulio and he was able to resolve those problems. Very knowledgeable, honest and my go to person for bees! read more

My kids discovered a bee hive in an opening of the roof their playground in our backyard. I considered removing it myself since it looked relatively small (about the size of my fist) but since it was partially concealed, I didn't want to take the chance of it being much larger than it looked and getting myself stung. He arrived just a couple hours after I had called him. He did an inspection of the rest of our house and discovered several more bee hives scattered around the perimeter of our roof. I decided against having them removed as they were all very small and I didn't want to spend the extra money. He also reassured me that these particular bees posed no danger to us. However, I'm glad that I've been made aware of their existence so that I can keep on eye on their growth. When negotiating the price, he asked me to quote a price I thought was fair. I asked for $50 since I thought the job was very minimal and he accepted. Two exterminator companies I had called previously had asked for $200 and $250 just for the service call so needless to say, I was very happy with the price. It took him just a few minutes to remove the hive inside our playground. He also discovered another hive that was completely concealed inside another opening, which he removed for me. To conclude, I thought Smiling Bee was very honest, courteous, and professional and I highly recommend him read more

After a appt. mix up Bryan came and removed the wasps. Fast, efficient and professionally and job well done!! Thank you!!

When I first saw we had bees in the exterior wall of our house I freaked out! Didn't want to exterminate them so I looked on yelp and found Smiling Bee. They called me back within a few hours and Mr. Medina came out that evening at 8pm to take a look. I was so impressed with his knowledge and the next day they had removed the bees and the hive with the utmost care to the house and the bees. Fair in his pricing and a genuinely honest man. Would do business with him again. Super job! read more

"Smiling Bee" deserves five stars all the way! They did an outstanding job of finding place where the yellow jackets were entering our home and repairing entry sites to block future infestations. They were professional, knowledgeable and very nice to deal with. read more
