Benicia Bee Removal-Honey Any One?  We closed an REO listing in Benicia this last week.  There was a colony of bees in a small shed at one end of the property.  The way we found out was another agent held an open house.  He saw more than just a few bees buzzing around.

My business partner went on the quest to find a bee keeper.  We thought it would be easy peasy to get this accomplished.  She talked to pest control companies and bee keepers far and wide.  This was a bigger project than we could ever imagine. We did not want to kill them as they are good for the cycle of life and food.

No one wanted to touch it.  This was not just a hive, but an entire colony of bees.  Thousands and thousands of bees.  All engaged on the underside of the shed floor.  It took the bee lady several days to extract the bees and prepared the site so they would not re-inhabit.  She took the bees and gave them a new home.  Of course there will be stragglers but she did a great job and sent us pictures.

Aside from finally getting them removed, my eyes lit up with the thought of honey, gooey, golden honey dripping with goodness.  My mouth was watering.  UNTIL the bee lady educated us.

She said NO WAY would she give us the honey and for good reason.  She said we donot know what was on the ground or under the shed.  Could have been other pests with their little remains, could be poisonous sprays and contamination from other products in the shed.  WOW, I never thought about the production and how the environment could affect the end product.

The bees are safely removed to their new house, above ground in a more sanitary living environment and starting the honey production all over.  This time it really will be gooey and golden and good to eat!

Our Benicia Bee Removal was a success.  And the new homeowners are happy too!
