Khaled’s Alive Bee Removal Service

Quick, simple and free of chemicals. Khaled rocks! We had 4 wasp nests growing around our patio. Khaled came and removed them with a pallet knife and a bee suit. He then showed me the Bees he was bringing to their new home in the trunk of his pickup. Cool! Patio is wasp free and bees are being fostered.

Phew! Khaled was professional and efficient and most importantly he removed the bee hive from the walls of the house! Everyone else we called either wouldn’t remove the hive or were flaky. Highly recommend Khaled. Thank you!

We had an underground beehive in our backyard that was home to some seriously mad yellow jackets. After we had one sting in the family we decided we needed to get it removed before it got even worse.
I called Khaled and we made an appointment. He came the morning of our appointment and was able to completely remove all the bees using a vacuum. This was weeks ago, and we have not seen one bee since. We paid by check that day and it was very reasonable, just under $ 200.
The whole process was incredibly easy and I would call him again if we have another bee problem!

I called Khaled yesterday afternoon when we discovered what we thought was a wasp nest. Khaled called me to let me know he was on his way and showed up at the promised time. It turns out it was a swarm of honey bees, which he expertly removed (without protection!). Very nice, and is saving the bees to produce more honey for his shop and farmer’s market honey. Turns out I had bought his honey before, so a win win for us in the East Bay and for the honey bees which will continue to live in a more welcoming environment.

Khaled came to our home the morning after I called, to remove wasps that were nesting in our back yard. He removed a large nest from a gutter, and said to call if any wasps reappeared in the area in the next week. It was $ 200 for the removal. A few days later I noticed that there were still wasps gathering there, so I called to let him know. He came back the next day and found another nest, which he removed at no extra charge. Super nice guy, I would definitely call him again, even though I didn’t get a jar of honey!

Khaled came to my home on a Saturday morning at 7am after I contacted him on Friday afternoon. He used green products to calm the wasps and then dug the nest out of the ground. He did a great job and I really appreciate that he came so quickly since the nest was in our front yard and dangerous for everyone who walked by our house. I would highly recommend him. He even gave me a jar of his honey!

I’m with Lou G, and had an almost identical experience. Called on Sunday and was surprised and delighted that Khaled answered the phone. I just had a small wasp nest, but it was high. Not an emergency. He said he’d be out Monday afternoon. Around 4 on Monday, I called to confirm. No, he couldn’t make it. How about Tuesday afternoon? Ok. Around 4 on Tuesday, I tried to call but couldn’t even leave a message. After several more attempts at calls, he answered. Another emergency, but he’d be there between 6 and 7. No show. No call. I have always relied on Unilocal reviews, but again like Lou G, this makes me suspicious. I based my call to Khaled on the 15 5-​star ratings, when in fact, I should have listened to Lou.

Khaled is like a busy bee; sorry could not resist the pun. I was able to book him for a Wednesday appointment on Saturday to remove a wasp nest from the back stairs of my house. He came, he vacuumed, he sprayed. Job was done quickly and efficiently. He even had time to share about the origin of his name. He charged me what he quoted, came during the time he promised, and even left me a jar of honey. Thanks!

Sunday we discovered an aggressive bee hive outside our dining area window. We have a toddler so I started doing my research immediately. After reading the glowing Unilocal reviews for Khaled’s Alive Bee Removal Service, I called him early Monday morning. I explained the urgency because of our toddler and he gave me an estimate, scheduled the first available appointment for Thursday, and asked for my address and phone number.
On Wednesday morning I called to confirm the Thursday appointment time, as I had to take time off work, and left a message. After not getting a return call, I began to worry, so I called again on Wednesday afternoon. No answer or return call.
Thursday came, still didn’t hear from him. He broke our appointment, was a no-​show, no-​call. Now it’s Friday, still haven’t heard from him. Long story short, we still have a toddler and a growing bee problem. I have never come across a worse run business or a less considerate business owner. Can I rate this zero stars? One is too generous. More concerning is that the Unilocal reviews are not representative of my experience, so I’m becoming skeptical of their reliability and authenticity.

Khaled is the man! I had some ULTRA aggressive yellow jackets in my back yard. He just vacuumed those fools up, no sweat. No chemicals and the mean bees were completely gone when he left. Khaled gifted me a jar of honey from his hives and invited me to visit his store in Oakland that looks like a bee hive when you walk in. That’s what’s up. Khaled is all cool.
2 thumbs UP! Thanks Khaled!

Have to echo the other reviews.
I recently discovered 7 small wasps nests scattered around the house. I called Khaled and he gave me a reasonable quote over the phone. He had me text him the address which made communication easy.
The next morning he was at the house removing the nests. He was dependable, efficient, and professional. He also looked all around the house for additional nests and answered all of our questions.
Best of all, no animals were harmed during the removal of the nests. :-)
Great job Khaled!

Khaled is wonderful! We found Khaled’s Bee Removal Service by calling his Bee Healthy Honey Shop at 2950 Telegraph Ave in Oakland.
We discovered a swarm of honey bees outside our yard earlier this afternoon. After so many years of walking by Khaled’s honey shop and wanting to purchase local honey (and not doing so), the first shop that came to mind to take care of the bees was Khaled’s Bee Healthy Honey Shop. Not knowing if bee removal was part of the shop’s expertise, we quickly learned from Khaled that he performed bee removal and relocation services. Khaled was at our property within 45 minutes of our call and greeted us with a jar of delicious honey and bees wax skin cream, and gently and quickly removed the swarm — what great customer service.
He explained to us his process and educated us about the queen bee and swarm needing to find a new home. He also answered all our curious questions about what was happening.
We will definitely stop by Bee Healthy Honey Shop for more honey.
Thank you so much Khaled.

You should have no doubt that THIS is the person you want to take care of this type of problem. Third time I have had to call on Khalid for his great service. He removed a large nest of yellow jackets promptly. Seems yellow jackets like to make nests around my home.
I called him on Friday and on Saturday he was here and out were the yellow jackets.
And of course he gave me a jar of his liquid gold honey.

I cannot say enough great things about Khaled and his service. I had him come out to extract a hive that had made their home in our bedroom wall. He showed up professionally dressed and ready to go. One of the first things he did was give me a jar of his raw honey. It was delicious.
He was very polite and knowledgable about his business, patiently answering any question I threw at him (which were plenty). He let me watch the extraction and encouraged me taking pictures of it. He was very calm during the entire time, even fielding phone calls while removing the bees.
Listening to how many phone calls he received, this time of year is very busy for this one man operation. For this reason he was hard to get out to my place immediately, but he was well worth the wait.
I know it can be nerve-​wracking to have bees in your home, but after having hosted them for two-​plus weeks, just know that they’re not going to hurt you if you keep your distance. I called a few beekeepers, and this time of year they are very busy, so just be patient.
But I highly recommend you call Khaled. It was one of the best customer service experiences I’ve ever had. You’ll even get an awesome jar of honey out of it!

I was shocked to see a swarm of bees right along my walkway to the front door. A little closer look and OMG! A very large nest right in the tree. I quickly looked up bee removal and found Khaled’s Alive Bee removal Service. Reviews on Unilocal were good so I called him and left a message. Within 30 minutes he called me back and was at my home within the hour.
Khaled immediately went to work removing the bee’s. He even showed my what the queen bee looked like. He treated the tree to kill the scent of the queen bee so any remaining bee’s would soon leave.
If you’re having a problem with bee’s this is the business to call.

Khaled’s voicemail was full when I called to schedule a wasps nest removal, but to his credit, he still returned my call within ten minutes (I assume from the last called number).
We scheduled the nest removal for 10:30 on Wednesday and at 10:45 I called and he said he was busy with an emergency bee removal but could come within 25 minutes. I would have preferred he called to let us know he had an emergency and would be late, but at least he did come as promised within 25 minutes and removed the wasps nest efficiently. Thank you Khaled for the chemical-​free nest removal.

Khaled was amazing. We had bees in our fireplace chimney, which is on a rather high peak of our house. It’s not someplace that’s easy to get to if you’re afraid of heights. Khaled worked without a net, literally. Not even a beekeeper’s net. He just stuck his head in the midst of a lot of bees around the chimney and said, «You can smell the honey.» He came back with a lure hive and put it on the chimney for a couple of weeks and all the bees moved out of the chimney into Khaled’s hive. After a couple of weeks, he came back and took the hive away to relocate it. He also brought a jar of his wonderful honey. The guy’s got nerves of steel, and a really pleasant demeanor. Great to work with. Highly recommended.

We had a next of wasps underneath our deck. We thought they were yellow jackets, but they didn’t go for the baited traps we hung up. After 3 of our family members suffered from stings, it was time to call a removal service. Thanks to Unilocal!and Khaled, our wasp nest was removed.
I asked what type of guarantee he offered, and he said if there were still wasps around after a week, he’d come back and and bring me a jar of his famous honey (which he didn’t have with him). I had a dozen or so resilient wasps, so he came back and left me a jar of honey on the porch! Thanks, Khaled!

He did an great job removing the bees. Thanks for the removing the bees!!!

Khaled’s Alive Bee Removal Service did a great job removing two bee hives from under the floor of a shed that we have. Khaled took time to educate me about Bees and the benefits of their honey. He even gave me a book and a jar of raw honey. Great service, very reliable and calls ahead of time to confirm his appointments or to let you know if he is running late. Thanks Khalid and my Gardner also said to say thanks; I got my shed back and the gardner can know adjust the water metering system which was next to the bees.
