Such an incredible informative experience!! This was super cool to witness I was looking at some different bee removal services and I stumbled upon this gem. What made me end up working with him was the fast response and good communication. The price was very good too. He taught me so many things about bees it was very fun. In this very very old box in my dad's backyard was a pretty big bee hive. Arin handled it like a pro! He was very careful but knew exactly how to get the queen. He even gave us a part of the comb and told me how to use a cheesecloth and everything to filter it so that was awesome of him. Arin is unBEElievable read more

This company gave us the most reasonable price with no hidden ups or extras, prompt, thorough, efficient timely and was able to accomplish the task of the honey bee colonization developing within an old hollowed out tree which stands near the center of our front yard. The technician knew what he was doing to effectively drive the queen and her bees out of their newly constructed hive and away from us. The price was nearly half of what nearly all the other competitors are charging for this otherwise simple task. read more

We had a bee hive on our roof, but we didn't want to exterminate the bees. We wanted to re-home them. Arin was great. He handled everything very well. Super professional. I contacted many beekeepers and this company was the best value. He took care of everything from rescuing the bees to treating the area so they don't come back. Would definitely recommend. read more

Hi, I had posted before, but just in case, Arin, the business owner, is awesome! He went above and beyond for our bee issue. We had a four feet tall hive (which could be 20k or more bees!) and we wanted them moved, not exterminated. His quote was reasonable and he did all the work himself! He was very calm, knew alot about bees, which not all services do, and did a temperature reading inside and outside. He was clear on what was needed and did the service well and quickly, even with it being a hot day. He did a great job on making the hole needed, repairing it and getting the bees/hive out. Again, not all services do this. I so appreciate all the work he did and was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend! Thanks! read more

Arin is quite amazing! He's also a nice guy and so knowledgeable about bees and beehives. We were having bee issues and in a couple of seconds he discovered what was going on. Every morning I went outside and on the back wall around our light were bees on the wall. An hour later, they were dead on the ground. This happened every 3 days (SEE PHOTOS). My Pest guy came out & saw no hive in the light & suggested to call a Bee Keeper. When Arin came out, he quickly looked around and saw bees in the far distance in a retaining wall on the other side of my next door neighbor's property. We went to visit my neighbor & he was aware of the bees but said it didn't bother him. Arin said at night they are attracted to light, so they were coming around my light, swarming it & because they got stressed out, they hung on the wall until they died and fell off. It made so much sense, but I would have never known, if not for Arin. If you want someone who has valuable wisdom & knows their stuff, and just a good person, this is the guy to hire! He will come out to investigate without a charge. Then he charges, if you hire him to do any work, if it's needed. I would use him any time in the future. Much gratitude Arin. read more

Couldn't be happier with the service, above and beyond. Called in the morning Friday March 13/26 and had service done at 5;30 when the foragers were mostly back home. Removed both Double deep hive from my backyard. Much appreciated. Thanks Arin read more

Arin, thank you for the amazing service! I reached out to a few places for quotes on bee removal, but the moment I spoke with you, it just felt right. Your calm demeanor, kindness, and professionalism instantly put me at ease--and we were able to get an appointment right away. Even though this was an unexpected expense, it honestly feels like money well spent. You handled everything efficiently and with such care. P.S. No bees were harmed in the making of this removal--though I think a few posed for a group photo on their way out. read more

I needed a hive removed from my wall behind my chimney. I reached out to the Bees Knees and Arin immediately got on a call with me to set up an inspection. He was there the next day and walked me through my options. He and his team got right to work, getting the job done in a matter of hours. They also left the work area spotless. I found pricing to be within average for a job like this. Highly recommend. read more

Arin was quick to respond and communicated well about our appointment. So grateful to have found him for the bee removal. Price seemed very reasonable to cut the hole in the shed floor, remove, disinfect, etc. he took the bees away in a white box. Sprayed with vinegar and peppermint oil. One year warranty for the same place. Definitely recommend his work. Thanks Arin. read more

Arin was amazing on a hot day 90s in Sherman Oaks. Thank you for coming around noon and completing the task by 2pm, in this heat. You did a great job, climbing up my avocado tree, amongst the angry yellojwackets my gardener and tree cutters encountered this weekend, getting stings more than twice! Not only did you get rid of them but sealed the area so hopefully they don't return during the month guarantee. Great job and price, great service. read more

We have a swarm of bees on one of our tree branch in the community for past two days. I'm part of the HOA board and been looking for bee remover that doesn't kill bees. Came across Bee Knees and called early in the morning. Spoke to Arin and answered all my questions. Provided info to him and he was able to provide an estimate. His price is so much better than what I had seen. He was able to come out same day. He arrived in the time he said he would. So glad he wasn't a no show. That makes me feel he's good with his words. He came from about 30 miles away. When he arrived and we were showing him where it was. The huge swarm of bees weren't there anymore! We felt so bad to have him come out that far and end up with no bees to remove. We showed him pictures of the swarm of bees that was actually there. He didn't get upset or show any signs or expression of annoyance. I asked him if we can pay him for coming out. And I can't believe he said it's ok especially driving that far and probably going to end up in traffic at this time going back. Arin had a really calm energy that would probably be a bee whisperer energy would have. Well now Arin's going to be our HOA main guy to go to if we have anything to do with bees that needs to be removed. So glad we found Arin. read more

Amazing! Told me exactly what the issue was and didn't charge me. If I ever have a bee problem in the future, I know who to call!

Great experience with The Bees Knees. Quick response, quote, and service. Installing a wall AC in my uncle's home we realized we'd have to remove a very established bee colony in the exterior wall. The house is over 80yr old with very delicate, aged redwood siding that cannot be replaced. Arin was quick and careful not to damage anything. From my request for a quote to removing the hive (without killing bees) was only about 3 hrs. Importantly Arin guarantees and stands by his service. And not just talk! We uncovered additional bees a few weeks later and when i called Arin explained he was out of town. Much to my relief and surprise he sent another bee service out right away at no charge and even extended the guarantee. read more

I got a citation from the city that I have a bee hive on the oak tree. I saw the great review for bees knees and called at 9:00am and spoke with Arin. He said that he would be able to come on the same day to give an estimate and that he will get be able to come before 12noon and he will touch base with me when he could come. He called back in the next hour and he was on his way. After given the estimate he was able to start and get the bee hive taken care of at the time. I would highly recommend this company. Arin is very knowledgeable about the bees and how to handle the beehive and thoroughly explained what he was doing prior to starting the work. Very prompt and professional. Very happy with the job well done. read more

Arin came out to deal with bees that had found their way into our wall. We weren't sure how acute the problem was, but it turns out there was a whole hive's worth of bees in there! He carefully removed them and will be giving them a home on his property, where he a beekeeper. This was important to us, as these little pollinators are threatened in so many ways. I hope they can thrive in their new home! Arin had the skills to act as a handyman, opening up the siding and repairing it when he was finished. He was very nice all throughout, he was able to help us right away, and our problem was quickly solved. We can now host a party on the 4th without any attacks of killer bees--always a plus. Great service! read more

Arin is very professional and skilled. He explained our bee situation, told us the steps he would take, did the work and cleaned up the workspace after he was done. I highly recommend working with him. read more

This company is awesome! We had a hive in our wall. We didn't know how large it was, but we wanted them to be moved, not exterminated. When contacting Arin, he was clear, professional and showed for the consult, he was a freat communicator, coordinating a time. At the consult, he was great. He did temperature readings in and the house, so we could see. His quote was great and his service amazing. I so appreciate how well he did this, as it was a large hive, being 4 feet tall! It was also a hot day and there were alot of bees, and he did a fabulous job of sealing up the 10 x 12 hole that was needed to get to the hive in the wall. He was very conscientious and was helpful in letting us know what needed to happen. I was also impressed by his very calm vibe. He did everything with making the hole, getting them out, getting the inner wall stuff in it and sealing it. It was epic, tbh! read more

Arin and Steven were terrific. Arin said that he'd arrive in 40 minutes and you could set a clock to how accurate he was. Right to the minute. We had wasp nests in the carport which they took care of but Arin even discovered a bees nest in the eave and took care of that at no charge. This company has integrity and keep their promises. I'm very impressed. read more

First of all, how can you go wrong with a name like The Bees Knees. I was stressed about Arin not being able to remove a hive the same day I called but he was so calm and knowledgable about the activity I described I took the chance and waited the 2 days for him to come check it out. He was exactly right. He came back the next day and removed a roughly 4-5 month old hive. He sanitized, filled and repaired the part of the roof he had to cut through to get to the hive, looks great. But he also patched up the holes (that our solar guys made and failed to patch up) where the bees were entering the eaves. Honestly, the fact that he did that for us just solidified my respect for him and how he conducts business, he cares to do a good and thorough job. I hope I never have to deal with a hive removal again, but if I do, I will be calling Arin. This guy also has a resting heart rate of like, 10... he's so calm. My husband and I were just gasping at everything and we look over at him and he's just standing there like... "yep". He's great! Everything I believe you need for an eco-responsible bee removal. read more

OMG! I love this guy! He was beyond helpful and sweet! Our hive obsconded because ants invaded them :-( But we found them in a tree not too far away.

We were out of town when a huge hive collapsed in our yard. Angry bees stung the gardener. The Bees Knees came out the same day and humanely relocated the hive and queen. The area was pristine when we got home. We would highly recommend this company if you have issues with bees! read more

I highly recommend Arin and his company. We recently moved into a new home and found a couple wasp nests and reached out to Arin. He responded immediately and was at my house the next morning. He ended up finding 11 wasp nests in all and didn't charge extra for all the extra work. It's a two story house and he brought a large ladder and did a full inspection of the house. He was fast, clean and efficient and within 24 hours of seeing the wasps my problem is gone. read more

Did an amazing job!! Called almost 10 different bee control companies and they all were scheduled a week out but needed the job done ASAP so I called these guys and they delivered. Came same day for a quote and were able to take out all the bees in less than 3 hours on that same day! Awesome guys highly recommend if you need a job done quick and easy.

I was searching to find a company that can quote the best price to remove a hive from the roof of my house. I reached out to The Bees Knees they quoted me with the best price to do the work!

I had the best experience, will most definitely recommend!! read more

Called Aviv to handle a new bee hive that I noticed on the roof. They had built the hive down into the cavity in my bathroom wall.

I would use him again. read more

We had a wonderful experience with The Bees Knees and highly recommend them. I'd spoken with a number of bee relocation specialists and Arin stood out as an expert in his industry. It's clear that he really cares about the work he does, prioritizing both bee welfare and customer satisfaction. When we spoke on the phone, he was happy to thoroughly answer my questions and schedule a free inspection. The quote he gave us was exactly what he ended up charging for his services. His rates are highly competitive in general, but even more so when considering all of the services he provides. The services covered by his quote included humanely relocating the bees, removing the honeycomb in its entirety and using an environmentally/wildlife-friendly treatment to ensure that we would not have bees returning to or moving into the space, installing fiberglass to fill the empty area beneath the floor, and repairing the portion of the floor that he'd needed to cut into. He gave us a one-year warranty, as well as some of the honey that our bees had made! While we hope not to need his help again, he'll be our first call for any future bee-relocation needs. read more

I could not have been more impressed with Arin. I discovered a huge hive in a tree above our front yard sidewalk - low enough that people walking by had to avoid that part of the sidewalk because of the bees - so I called The Bees Knees to see if he could take care of it, and he showed up within three hours. Took care of the hive in less than an hour. Couldn't believe how quick, efficient, and thorough he was. Fair price too. He did an excellent job and would highly recommend. read more

I had a huge wasp nest on my property up in a tree, it was very concerning with the amount of wasps flying all around it and my property. I contacted The Bees Knees be removal service and was told they could come out that day, which was a relief. I met Aaron when they showed up, he was very friendly and professional. he assessed the situation right away, gave me a super fair quote and took care of the problem right there. I was super impressed with the technique and method to remove the nest so safely. The professionalism and honesty Aaron provided made me confident to use them for any problems or other pest problems in the future. I appreciate honesty and prompt service, which is what this company provided, highly recommended. read more

I had workers coming to do a project and needed to make the area safe for them. I'd forgotten about the wasp/yellowjacket issue we had until my son reminded me. I was stuck at work, but Arin responded promptly, communicated with me before and after the job, and dealt with my son on-site. He took care of my situation promptly and professionally. He inspected the entire property and found other nests we weren't aware of and took care of those as well. I will absolutely call him again if needed. Highly recommended. read more

I contacted Arin on 6/27 about a bee hive inside of my roof. He was super responsive and resolved the issue that day. This was a challenging task because my roof needed to be opened, but Arin and his assistant took the hive out and repaired my roof within 2 hours. I haven't seen bees since and he even provided a warranty for that same spot. I would definitely recommend! His pricing was fair for the job - especially since roof repairs are not included in this type of job. read more

Aaron did an excellent job removing the bee hive from my walls and I'd recommend his services. Although it was nice to have bees I didn't want them in my wall and wanted them relocated. Aaron was responsive, available, communicative, and did the job well (including repair patching and cleanup). For the amount of work he put into it, I thought it was completely reasonable and a great value. He was careful in cutting into my 100-year-old wall to minimize the impact. This was an important aspect and everyone I've asked says they can hardly tell it's been patched up. So all-in-all I'd say he did a great double-duty job and would highly recommend his services. read more
