Question 1

I have a 1930s Craftsman bungalow near downtown Fullerton and bees are in the original open eave above the porch. Is an open-construction eave harder to access than a closed one?

Accepted Answer

Open rafter-tail construction is actually more accessible than a closed soffit, in that we can often see directly where the colony is rather than probing for it. The challenge is closing the opening after extraction without altering the original open eave character. We seal the cavity against re-entry while preserving the architectural form.

Question 2

There's a large active swarm in the Magnolia Ave area , it looks like it's settled on a tree branch on city property. Who handles that?

Accepted Answer

Swarms on city trees or public right-of-way property in Fullerton would normally go through the city's public works or vector control contact, but in practice swarms on accessible branches are collected by local beekeepers and removal services. We can collect the swarm if it's accessible , and collected swarms are faster, lower-cost jobs than established colonies. Call us the same day you spot it.

Question 3

The bees entered through a gap in the chimney flashing of my 1950s Fullerton home. Can you access a chimney flashing cavity?

Accepted Answer

Chimney flashing gaps are a common entry point on homes of that era. The colony is typically in the cavity between the chimney body and the surrounding wall or attic space. We access through the flashing gap or an adjacent opening, extract the colony and comb, and seal the flashing gap to prevent re-entry.

Question 4

I'm a Cal State Fullerton student renting in the area. My landlord isn't responding to the bee issue. What can I do?

Accepted Answer

As a tenant, you can document the issue in writing to the landlord and note it as a habitability concern. If the landlord is unresponsive, some cities have tenant protection lines. We can provide a written assessment of the situation that you can include with a landlord communication.

Question 5

The colony seems to be behind the drywall in a room of my Fullerton home. I can hear buzzing through the wall. Can you confirm the location before opening anything?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use thermal imaging to locate the heat signature of the colony before opening any access point. This gives us the specific location and approximate size of the hive so we open exactly where needed, not exploratorily. The thermal assessment is part of the job.
