A licensed and insured contractor relocates healthy colonies when possible, and same day visits are common during the hot swarm months.

Santee sits between a river and a regional park

Santee is framed by open land. The San Diego River runs through the middle of town, Santee Lakes sits to the north, and Mission Trails Regional Park borders the west side. The willows along the river, the chaparral on the hills and the eucalyptus around the lakes all hold wild colonies.

The housing is mostly newer than in neighboring cities. Carlton Hills and Carlton Oaks have 1960s and 1970s ranch homes, while much of the rest of Santee was built in the 1980s and later with stucco, tile roofs and long block walls between yards. Summers are hot, so swarms run frequent from spring into early summer, and colonies move into any shaded hollow they can find.

Santee bee removal FAQ

My home backs onto the San Diego River trail. Why so many bees?

The river corridor supports many wild colonies, and their spring swarms often scout the first homes they reach. Sealing gaps after removal is the best defense.

A swarm landed on my fence this morning. Is it dangerous?

Swarms are usually calm because they have no nest to defend yet, but keep your distance and call quickly before they move into a wall.
