Live bee removal, hive cutout and repair in Julian.
Bye Bye Bees arranges live bee removal, comb cutout and repair for Julian cabins, homes and orchards. A licensed and insured contractor relocates the colony when possible, and visits to the mountains are scheduled in advance because of the drive.
Julian began as a gold rush town in the 1870s and is now known for its apple orchards, pie shops and historic Main Street. It sits more than 4,000 feet up, with oak and pine forest, Volcan Mountain to the north and Cuyamaca Rancho State Park and William Heise County Park close by. Winters can bring snow, and summers are warm but milder than the valleys below.
Cabins, older wood frame homes and orchard barns are the main buildings here. Bees need insulation to get through cold mountain winters, so they look for sheltered cavities like cabin walls, crawl spaces and the walls of barns and fruit sheds. In spring, the apple blossoms and wildflowers bring a burst of bee activity and swarms.
Inside cabin walls and log or board siding, crawl spaces under raised floors, orchard barns, hollow oaks and woodpiles near the house.

Julian is a longer drive, so visits are scheduled ahead, often grouped with other backcountry jobs. We will give you a time when you call.
Yes. A colony with stored honey can survive the cold inside a wall, and the comb grows each year, so it is best to remove it.
Live removal is always the first choice, which keeps bees in the area for your trees.
