RESTORING BALANCE AND HARMONY

To The Enviroment We Live In … One Hive at a Time.

Rescue & Relocation

Backyard Bees offers an alternative to honeybee extermination. We remove bees from your home, property or business without the use of pesticides.

Adopt a Hive

We relocate bees from unwanted locations and place them in Orange County backyards, hotel rooftops and small gardens. Got space? Let’s talk!

Honey & Products

All our honey is gravity strained and unheated, which preserves the honey’s natural aroma, nutritional value, and fine taste.

Welcome to Backyard Bees

Every good deed we do helps restore balance and harmony to the environment we live in.

We strive to instill respect for the natural balance of Earth’s cycles by rescuing and relocating unwanted honeybee hives and conducting educational workshops and garden tours for children of all ages. Honey processing and creating beeswax products all take place in our backyard honey house and mini organic farm.

Even to the smallest creatures, we should have care and respect. They are here to help us, not hurt us.
Save the Bees!
