Owner Sam Marino (pictured right) has been fascinated by honeybees since he was young. From Costa Mesa, he and his dad Jeff provide humane bee removal across Orange County — carefully rescuing and relocating hives each year. They never exterminate.

Sam has served on the Orange County Beekeepers Association board and enjoys teaching neighbors, friends, and students of all ages about the importance of bees and backyard beekeeping.

Contact Sam at Coast Bee Removal. He lives in the neighborhood and he is fabulous! He truly cares about bees and he will relocate the hive rather than destroy them.

Every few year a hive begins in my composting bin. Some years all I need to do is spray a little Orange Guard on the edges of the compost bin and over the outside so they get the message and leave the next day. This time they had too much comb already in place and wanted to stay. So called Sam the bee guy at Coast Bee Removal. He relocates bee hives to farms and orchards instead of killing them. He lives in Costa Mesa. A really great guy! and great experience.

Sam with Coast Bees is wonderful! He is prompt and courteous. He gently removes the bees into a bee box and relocates them.

Sam the Bee Keeper is amazing, removed a 3'x4' hive from my backyard, about (80,000 bees?) packed them up and relocated them.

Can't say enough great things about Sam & his bee service. He came over a few months ago and removed - relocated a hive from the morning glories covering our fence. Unlike the previous times where the bee guys came with a shop vac essentially destroying the bees Sam gently removed the hive, found the queen and coaxed most all of them into his bucket for relocation.
