What bee removal looks like in Dixon, CA
Dixon is a small Solano County ag town straddling the I-80 corridor between Sacramento and the Bay Area, and the Dixon May Fair (one of the oldest continuously-running county fairs in California) is the heart of its identity. The downtown has older 1900s–1950s wood-frame and brick buildings, and surrounding residential is a mix of modest suburban and rural farmhouse properties. Dixon is surrounded by some of the most intensive almond, safflower, sunflower, and processing-tomato agriculture in the state, and that creates huge seasonal forage pulses — February almond bloom is particularly dramatic here and kicks off swarm season earlier than most of the metro. Most of our calls involve colonies in old barn walls, outbuildings, and scattered valley oaks on rural and agricultural properties.

Common bee situations we see
Bee Swarm on a Branch
Usually a temporary cluster while scouts search for a new home. Typically docile — we remove same-day before they establish.

An established hive that needs careful extraction. We handle the full removal, including comb if accessible.
Bees in the Ground
Often bumblebees or ground-nesting mining bees. We assess the species and advise on the best approach.

Bee removal in Dixon: common questions
- Is bee removal really free in Dixon?
- Yes. The Bee Conservatory is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and live bee removal and relocation in Dixon is completely free — there are no hidden fees and no charge to homeowners. Our work is funded by donations, which lets us rescue every colony instead of exterminating it. Call (916) 404-4294 or report a swarm online to get on the schedule.
- How fast can you remove bees in Dixon?
- We aim to assess most Dixon swarm reports the same day they come in. A swarm clustered in the open is usually docile and easy to collect quickly. An established colony inside a wall, roof, or tree cavity takes more planning, so we schedule those for a full extraction visit after assessing the access point.
- What should I do if I find a bee swarm on my property?
- Don't panic and don't spray. A swarm is a temporary cluster of bees searching for a new home, and it is usually calm because the bees have no hive or honey to defend. Keep children and pets away, give the bees space, and report the swarm to us. Spraying pesticide makes the bees defensive and harder to relocate safely.
- Do you remove bees from inside walls and roofs in Solano County?
- Yes. When a colony establishes inside a wall, roof, soffit, or chimney, we perform a full live removal — locating the colony, opening the cavity, and relocating the bees and accessible comb to a registered apiary. This is more involved than collecting an open swarm, but it removes the bees humanely without poison and prevents future re-infestation.
- Should I call an exterminator instead?
- For honey bees, no. Extermination kills a beneficial pollinator, and dead bees and abandoned comb left inside a wall can attract pests and cause odor and staining. Our free live removal solves the problem and protects the bees. We can also help you tell the difference between bees and wasps before you decide on a course of action.
