Noe Valley Bees

We can't recommend Noe Valley Bees highly enough! We had a massive bee hive form quite quickly in a tree in our SF backyard, NVB came out the next day and removed the hive, no fuss or muss. No chemicals. No unnecessary extermination of a healthy (just unwelcome) hive.

The bees will be given a new home and made productive making local honey. Win win!

What a great service. And extremely reasonably priced.

I've called Philip of Noe valley bees twice in the last few years to remove several small wasp hives outside my building. He responds promptly, offers plenty of availability, and is effective and safe in getting rid of these hives. Unlike many others, he doesn't rely on poison to get rid of them, which I greatly appreciate. I'd recommend his services to anybody needing to get rid of hives in a safe way

Update: We had a very productive and pleasant visit with Philip. He used his thermal camera tech to quickly find the bee nest. He explained what our options were, next steps while patient answering our many questions. I wish all contractors were this easy and nice to deal with.

I had a bee hive growing inside of an exhaust vent at the exterior of my home.

I called Philip, and he asked me to text him photos of the hive. I texted him two photos of the hive. Philip called me back, and told me that I have a healthy nest of yellow jacket bees.

He then suggested that he come out to remove the nest later that day, approximately 3 hours after our call. I agreed. Please note that this was on a Sunday.

True to his word, Philip showed up, and promptly removed the nest/hive in less than 30 minutes. He then applied a powder to the outside of the exhaust vent that will discourage the yellow jackets from coming back.

Philip is honest, extremely responsive, and efficient. I highly recommend Noe Valley Apiary (Noe Valley Bees) for bee issues that you may encounter.

Phil came out to remove a yellow jacket nest in our front yard. He answered the phone right away when I called and was out within 24 hours.
He calmly dealt with nest (without the use of chemicals!) and was done in a few hours. Great service - highly recommended!

Phillip picked up the phone on my first call and arrived the same day to check out openings for bees in my home. I liked that he was reliable and easy to communicate with via text. Satisfied by the services ($80 to come and inspect openings and tape up).

Philip helped us with with a situation in which there was a new beehive in a the wall and floor of our house. He was kind, patient, and responsive. He helped us solve the problem. I would definitely recommend him to anyone with a bee problem. Thank you!

When I realized we had a yellowjacket nest I immediately thought how are we gonna get rid of this without polluting our organic garden where we grow food & without harming our neighbor's bees?

Leaving it wasn't an option - I was stung 4 times trying to work back there

Philip is so easy to deal with - he was very communicative, explained the process well, told me what he uses & left everything where he found it ... except for the yellowjacket nest

I promptly added him to our neighborhood reliable services list

If we ever have a yellowjacket nest again I'll call him immediately - it was possibly the most painless home services call we've ever had!

Philip is phenomenal! I discovered a yellow jacket nest in my bathtoom wall late on Friday of 4th of July weekend. He came out to handle the problem for 1/8th of what another company quoted and did it on July 4th!!!! He is so knowledgeable and really cares about his work. No more yellow jackets!

Excellent next day service to remove an underground hive of yellow jackets. Phil dug out the hive, vacuumed up all the yellow jackets, and left it with a pet safe powder that killed all the remaining ones. He was great.
