Why Humane Bee Relocation Matters
Honeybees play a vital role in our local ecosystem, gardens, and agricultural communities throughout Santa Clara County.When bees decide to build a hive inside your home’s walls, attic, chimney, or tree branches, extermination isn’t just unnecessary—it’s harmful to the environment.
At Presto Pest Control, we specialize in live bee removal and relocation. Our certified specialists safely extract the queen, colony, and honeycomb, working with local beekeepers to relocate the hive to a safe, sustainable environment where the bees can continue to thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t I just spray the hive with insect spray?
No. Spraying aggressive hives often causes bees to swarm defensively, increasing the risk of painful stings. Additionally, dead bees and rotting honey left inside walls attract other pests and cause unpleasant odors and structural damage.
What is the difference between a swarm and an established hive?
A swarm is a temporary cluster of bees traveling to find a new home. An established hive has honeycomb, honey, and larvae inside a structure and requires immediate removal.
Where do the bees go after you relocate them?
They are transferred to local, protected apiaries where they can safely continue pollinating local crops and gardens.
