As a live bee removal company our main goal is to rescue honey bee colony’s that would have otherwise been exterminated.  As remove beehives from neighborhoods we want to bring them back so they can continue their important work pollinating flowers. Throughout the year we accumulate rescue colonies and we are always looking for new safe environments for our bees while we restore good health in the hive. With the foster program we will be able to place these hives around Santa Barbara county.   These bees will act as a canary in the coal mine and let us know about the health of the area as well as pollinate nearby flowers.
