Honeycomb Removal in Los Angeles & Orange County
If the bees are gone but the comb stayed, the problem did not. Leftover honeycomb holds honey that softens and seeps in the heat, stains ceilings and insulation, draws ants and rodents, and leaves a scent that pulls in the next swarm. Beecasso removes the comb, brood, honey, and wax completely so the cavity is clean and far less likely to draw a new colony.
Common Situations
Comb Left by a Previous "Removal"
A spray-and-leave job kills bees but leaves the comb behind. We open the cavity, clear every frame, and clean the space so it stops seeping and stops attracting swarms.
Abandoned or Dead-Out Hive
A colony that died or absconded leaves comb and honey that go rancid and stain. We remove all of it and treat the cavity for residual scent.
Comb Discovered During a Repair or Remodel
Opening a wall or roof can reveal old comb you never knew was there. We clear it fully so it does not become a moisture and pest problem inside the finished structure.
What This Service Covers
An established colony leaves pounds of comb and honey inside a wall, roof, or attic. In warm weather the honey softens and seeps, which can stain ceilings, saturate insulation, and attract ants and rodents. The residual scent also signals future swarms. Complete comb removal is what prevents all of that.
Our Process
We remove every frame of comb along with the brood, honey, and wax, then clean the cavity and seal the primary entry point. If the comb was left by a previous removal or an abandoned hive, we assess it and clear it.
What Is Included
Full removal of comb, brood, honey, and wax, cavity cleanup, and sealing of the primary entry point.
Pricing

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the comb have to come out?
Comb left in a wall holds honey that softens and seeps in the heat, which stains, attracts pests, and leaves a scent that draws new swarms. Removing the comb is what makes the fix permanent.
Does removing the bees also remove the comb?
Only if the job includes it. A complete removal takes the comb, brood, honey, and wax, not just the bees. Always confirm comb removal is included.
What happens if comb is left in the wall?
In the heat the honey softens and seeps into insulation and drywall, which stains and attracts ants and rodents. The wax scent also signals scout bees, so a new swarm can move into the same cavity.
Can you remove comb left by another company?
Yes. Send a photo and we will assess the cavity and clear it.

We live in an apartment complex where beecasso was kindly called to be of service by our apartment management team, to address a cluster of bees that were trying to make their home on our patio. Not only did Beecasso team member, Caleb, come out next day, he was incredibly professional, thorough, and kind during his service. Jerry, another Beecasso team member, also came out the following day and followed the same professional, empathetic, and efficient service that we received the day prior. After the treatment, we had a question about the lingering bees and called the service line that was provided to us on a handout given by Caleb on the first day, explaining more about the process. Steve, the manager / owner, answered and was incredibly knowledgeable, reassuring, and committed to helping the issue resolve. All I can say is that with every interaction, Beecasso was exactly the type of service team that I would hope to address our concerns. They were also extremely sensitive to the alarm presented since we have a bee allergy in our home, and also a tenant next door also has a bee allergy as well and we just wanted the bees gone. So, it was really important to us that no straggler bees entered our house as each service person came and went through our home to the patio. Each member of the team were so cautious and attuned to help keep the inside “bee-free.” Although this is not our property, we are beyond thankful that our management found / contracted this business because they truly were everything we could have hoped during this unsettling process.
We had such a great experience with Beecasso recently. Two technicians came out and they were incredibly professional and kind. They were wonderful with my kids and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the process. They efficiently removed a super large beehive from our garage and did beautiful repair work afterward. The bees were gone quickly, and you'd never know there had been a problem. I highly recommend this company for their expertise and genuine care for their customers!
They came within a day of my calling to relocate my bees. The owner on the phone conveys genuine concern for the plight of bees and doing the best that he can for them. The gentleman who came were friendly and professional.
