Living Next to the Canyon Preserve

Rancho Peñasquitos was built mostly in the 1970s and 1980s on the slopes between Black Mountain Open Space Park and Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve. The preserve holds a creek, a waterfall, old oaks and sycamores, and the historic Rancho de los Peñasquitos adobe, and those trees and rock crevices shelter wild colonies all year. Neighborhoods like Park Village, Twin Trails and Sundance back right up to open space, so swarms drift into side yards, stucco walls and garage frames each spring.

Typical Nest Spots in Rancho Penasquitos

  • Stucco walls on the canyon side of 1980s two story homes
  • Garage door headers and attic gable vents
  • Backyard trees and palms near the open space fence
  • Irrigation valve boxes on sloped landscaping

Frequently Asked Questions

We back onto Black Mountain open space. Why do bees keep showing up?

Open space provides constant forage and natural cavities, so scouts from wild colonies regularly check nearby homes. Sealing vents and gaps on the canyon side cuts down repeat visits.

A swarm is hanging on my tree right now. Is it an emergency?

A resting swarm is usually calm and may leave within a day, but it can also move into your wall. Call quickly so it can be collected before it settles.

Do you relocate the bees or kill them?

Live removal is always the first choice, and healthy colonies go to a beekeeper apiary in the backcountry.

Is Rancho Penasquitos part of the City of San Diego service area?

Yes. It is one of the city neighborhoods we cover, along with nearby Mira Mesa, Carmel Mountain Ranch and Rancho Bernardo.
