Bee Rescue & Relocation

When bees settle somewhere they can't stay, the instinct is often to call an exterminator. We are the other option. We remove live bees in the Greater Sacramento region and relocate them instead of killing them.

Live bee removal is free. If a colony is inside a wall or other structure, we'll explain what's involved, including any repair or other costs, before any work starts. Call us and we'll tell you when we can get there.

Habitat Restoration

Native plants give wild bees food and places to nest. We support California-native, pesticide-free flowering plants for school and community pollinator beds in the region.

If you have a site in mind, or want to help with planting, get in touch and we will tell you what is possible right now.

Bee Education

We offer hands-on pollinator lessons for Sacramento-area classrooms and publish free guides on how bees live and how to help them.

Teachers and group leaders can email us to ask what is available for your group.
