Do you have bees in your attic, wall, or water valve box? Is there a beehive in a tree or bush on your property?
Contact the San Diego County bee removal professionals at D-Tek Live Bee Removal today! We don’t use extermination methods to rid your property of a pesky or dangerous beehive. Once our trained experts remove the bees alive, they are brought to our local bee farm, where they help pollinate farmland.
Whether you live in Alpine, Bonsall, Carlsbad, Del Mar, El Cajon, San Marcos, Encinitas, Escondido, Rancho Santa Fe or Vista, we provide live bee removal and bee removal repairs to all areas of San Diego and North San Diego County.

Why is Proper Bee Removal Important in San Diego?
Bees have a very important role in our ecosystem. In fact, they are responsible for approximately 80 percent of the pollination across the world. This means that much of the food that you eat every day, including many popular fruits, nuts, and vegetables are due to the pollination activity of bees. As an active San Diego Beekeeper and Apiary owner, I know the place that honeybees have in our future and how important it is to maintain their populations.
This is why D-Tek Live Bee Removal only uses the most humane, live bee removal methods without the use of any pesticides. After every bee removal is complete, our professionals donate the bees to one of our local beekeepers where the bees can safely continue to thrive and pollinate.
We have multiple beekeepers in San Diego County that we donate our honey bees to after every live bee removal, on top of our own apiary. Our relationships with beekeepers across Southern California allow us to greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to transport the honey bees which is critical to their survival, reducing the chances of the honeybees dehydrating or possibly dying before we are able to drop them off to the beekeeper.
Quality and Professionalism That You Can Trust
Our trained professionals have years of experience in live bee removal and know firsthand how difficult and dangerous it can be! Let the experts at D-Tek Live Bee Removal handle your beehive removal safely, quickly, and affordably.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bee Removal in San Diego
How much does bee removal cost?
It depends on where the hive is located and how established it is. Small, exposed swarms are less involved than hives inside walls or attics. Most removals start around $200. Structural repairs are quoted separately after inspection.
Do you kill the bees?
No. When possible, the bees are removed alive and relocated to local beekeepers. The goal is always safe removal and proper relocation whenever the situation allows.
How quickly can you come out?
Same-day and next-day service is often available depending on scheduling and how urgent the situation is. If bees are inside a structure or near an entry point, it’s best not to wait.
What happens if honeycomb is left behind?
If honeycomb is not removed, it can attract new swarms and create ongoing problems. It can also melt inside walls and cause damage. All comb needs to be removed to prevent repeat infestations.
Do you repair the area after removal?
Yes. If siding, stucco, drywall, roofing, or other materials need to be opened to access the hive, repairs can be completed after the removal.

Great priceI can highly recommend David for humane bee removal. He responded promptly to my query, and was able to schedule my appointment, and arrived on time within 2 days.
He explained everything and even sent real time pics to me so I could safely see the hive and understand the removal process. He left the worksite clean of debris and gave me clear instructions for what to expect in case any "stragglers " might still be in the area.
He's personable, professional, and very reasonably priced for his services.

So grateful that Dave was able to remove and relocate the bees from a tree in my yard. I didn’t want them exterminated, so it was a relief to have them safely moved. I even learned a ton about bees in the process—an unexpected bonus! He was on time, had great communication, and made the whole experience easy and reassuring. Highly recommend!
