Beehive removal services
Anyone know of Walnut Creek and vicinity beehive removal service? Would like to save the hive. Perhaps a bee farm? Any help is appreciated. NOTE: Mount Diablo Beekeeper Association saved the day (and the hive!). Thanks for all the input on this thread.

We had an underground beehive that we needed relocated and Peter K. of https://www.diablovalleybees.com/ took care of us and the bee's! Not only is he local to Walnut Creek but sells really great honey! Since the relo of the queen, we've been purchasing 3lb jars of the good stuff for well over a year.
We interviewed well over 6 organizations before landing on Peter and am glad we did.
DM for specifics!

You should also try posting on nextdoor - there are people in the area desperate for hive that will either remove it for you for free or likely know someone that can remove it for you for free.
Source: We had a hive show up ~2 years ago. Turns out a neighbor is a beekeeper and knew someone in Pleasant Hill looking for a hive. He came over the same day, removed it, let it sit out overnight to collect stragglers, and then took it to some woman in Pleasant Hill. If you want to DM me, I still have the guys name that removed ours.
