I recommend this company for any of your bee concerns. I called and in less than 24 hours our bee issue was resolved. By the end of the day they were gone. Definitely will use them again if needed.

Thanks so much for the work Liza!

Over the July 4th weekend, I sent Ryan a photo of the hive and he was quick to identify it as a wasp nest and respond with a quote so everything was clear and upfront. He also helped me sealed the attics vents (10+) so that saved me a lot of time and coordination with other trade-people. Thank you so much Ryan! everything went smoothly. Ryan is very knowledgeable about bees. The bees have dispersed by the afternoon and I can have peace of mind now. I know who to contact for any bee related issues in the future!

Provider response

Thanks so much for the work and the nice review Nhu!

Ryan did an amazing job removing a huge beehive from my yard. He responded super quickly to my texts and is incredibly professional and friendly. He came out the next day to assess the hive living inside the trunk of a tree in my driveway. I appreciated that he advised me to consult with an arborist before cutting into the tree to get the bees out, and I took his advice. After getting clearance from an arborist, he came back with all the tools and gear he needed to pull out what he later told me was the biggest hive he'd relocated so far this year! You can really tell he loves his job and puts great care into it. The bees were understandably grumpy after he extracted the hive and were buzzing around our yard but Ryan made sure to advise us on how soon to expect them to leave and when it would be safe to reenter the yard. I knew I could contact him if I had any issues but didn't need to - the bees were almost entirely gone by the next day. He saved my dog from future bee stings and I really appreciate all his hard work. Definitely call him for your bee relocation needs!

Provider response

Thank you so much for the awesome review Melissa. I'm so glad I was able to work on this one. What a journey!

Ryan is awesome and really knows his profession. He removed a yellow jacket hive from my yard. Thank goodness. Enough of the stings😱. He also sells local honey. Check him out! Highly recommend.

Provider response

Thanks so much, Katherine! Yellow jackets are no joke, so I'm glad I could clear them out and give you your yard back. Enjoy the honey, and reach out anytime you need me! — Ryan

I had bees coming into my home via an outside vent. Ryan contacted me immediately and was able to come out and humanely capture and relocate them. Everyone is happy and I learned a lot about bees!

Thanks, Jaqi! Vents are a favorite hideout for bees, so I'm glad we got them safely relocated. Love that you walked away knowing more about these amazing pollinators. Call anytime! — Ryan

I literally like everything about this company. Ryan has helpled us twice: a huge swarm of bees in our composter a year ago and another in our tree last week. When i call he shows up right away, has the best prices in the county, hes super friendly and kind, and i love that he re-homes the bees (and its really cool to watch too)! His honey is absolutely delicious. I would recommend his services to everybody!

Provider response

Thank you, Kathleen! Twice now — and I'm always glad to come back. A swarm in the composter is a memorable one! It means the world that you like everything we do. Call anytime! — Ryan

BEEing ecologically responsible is what Sunshine Honey and Bee Removal is all about. I had a large swarm of bees land on my rose bush early Sunday morning and contacted Sunshine Honey. They immediately came to my and the bees' rescue, safely removing them. They were great! And the icing on the cake is that they also sell honey! A really win-win for the environment!

Provider response

Thank you, Kelley! Being ecologically responsible is the heart of what I do — saving the bees instead of spraying them. So glad I could relocate that big swarm for you. Call anytime! — Ryan

Emily Gargus

Sunshine Honey was amazing! Our neighbor alerted us to a large swarm of bees moving into our wall through some holes around our plumbing. Within two hours Ryan was here and safely removed the entire hive. Even better, the bees will be re-homed where they can continue to thrive and do what they need to do. We are extremely grateful for Ryan’s very quick and professional service and highly recommend him!!

Provider response

Thank you, Emily! Bees love sneaking into walls through the tiniest gaps, so good thing your neighbor caught it early. Glad I could get them out and sealed up. Call anytime! — Ryan

Ryan is outstanding. He came out immediately and quickly got rid of the bees that found their way into a hole on my stucco. He explained the process well and was fair and reasonable in his pricing. I highly recommend him.

Provider response

Thank you, Steven! Coming out fast is a point of pride for me — bees in a hole only get harder to deal with over time. Glad I could knock it out quickly for you. Call anytime! — Ryan

We discovered a hive of bees in our compost tumbler and, after calling multiple pest control businesses who either did not handle bees or could only exterminate them, I called Ryan from Sunshine Honey. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and was able to come to our home on the same day to remove the bees. He was methodical and calm as he led what looked like thousands of bees into a bee box and took them to their new home to become potential honey makers/pollinators. I highly recommend Ryan for any of your bee needs. Thank you, Ryan!

Provider response

Thanks so much for the kind review, glad I could help. If you ever need a jar of raw local honey, just ask!

Highly recommend him. Called this morning for an estimate and was lucky enough to catch him in my area. He text me that he was on his way and showed up when he said he would. After talking to him about the process I said go, and he went to work immediately. It was pretty cool to watch! Ryan is honest, knowledgeable and humane with regards to bees. And overall he's a really nice guy. I learned more about bees today than I ever thought I wanted to know. After hearing how he lost many of his bees in the Thomas fire I was happy to give him my business.

Provider response

Thank you so much for the recommendation! Same-day estimates are how I like to do things. It was a pleasure helping you out — don't hesitate to call if you need me again! — Ryan

Literally the best honey I have ever eaten. I am a bit upset though that all other honey seems inferior now.

Provider response

Ha! I'll take full responsibility for ruining all other honey for you, Brian. Thank you — that's about the best compliment a beekeeper can get. Enjoy, and there's always more where that came from! — Ryan

Roy Yokoyama

Ryan was called to resolve our bee problem in front of my house behind a huge bush. Ryan cut part of the bush to get to the gap in the stucco where the bees were starting to make a hive. He filled in all the gaps and the bees no longer is a problem.. He stopped by couple of time since then to make sure the bees are no longer our problem.. Ryan is very consciences of his work and very professional. Would call him again without a second thought.

Provider response

Thanks so much Roy. Was a pleasure!

Ryan is super knowledgeable about bees and you can tell how much he cares about beekeeping when you talk to him. I love Sunshine honey and I'm on my third jar now and I can't get enough. It's the best honey I've found on the west coast and I put it in everything. Sometimes I just eat it straight from the jar.

Provider response

Thank you, Ellison! Bees really are my passion, so it means a lot that it comes through when we talk. I appreciate you taking the time to share that — reach out anytime! — Ryan
