If bees have moved into your Palm Springs home, hotel, business, or outdoor property, you need a local expert who can respond quickly and handle the job the right way. BeeSmart Bee Removal has been serving the Coachella Valley for over 30 years, providing Palm Springs residents and property owners with safe, humane, and highly effective bee removal solutions.
Palm Springs is one of the most bee-active cities in the entire desert region. The city’s iconic mid-century architecture, lush resort landscaping, mature palm trees, and year-round warmth create ideal conditions for bee colonies to establish themselves — often inside the very walls and structures that make Palm Springs properties so distinctive. Our team has removed colonies from historic estates in the Movie Colony neighborhood, resort properties along East Palm Canyon Drive, commercial buildings downtown, and everything in between.
We understand Palm Springs. Its architecture, its climate, its seasonal bee patterns — and most importantly, how to get bees out of your property safely and permanently.
Palm Springs sits at the northwestern tip of the Coachella Valley and experiences some of the highest temperatures in California during summer months. That extreme heat pushes bee colonies to seek cool, shaded cavities for nesting — and the city’s mix of mid-century modern homes, aging stucco construction, flat rooftops, dense resort landscaping, and commercial buildings gives bees an abundance of entry points.
Several factors make Palm Springs particularly susceptible to bee problems:
Year-Round Warm Weather — Unlike most of California, Palm Springs rarely gets cold enough to slow bee activity significantly. Colonies can grow and establish themselves in any month of the year, meaning there is no true “off season” for bee infestations in Palm Springs.
Africanized Honey Bees — Africanized bees, commonly referred to as “killer bees,” are well-established throughout the greater Palm Springs area and the entire Coachella Valley. These bees look identical to European honey bees but respond to perceived threats far more aggressively and with far larger numbers. A colony that seems calm when it first moves in can become a serious safety hazard within weeks. If you spot bee activity on or near your property, do not attempt to disturb the nest — call a professional immediately.
Unique Architecture — Palm Springs is globally recognized for its mid-century modern architecture. While stunning visually, flat roofs, exposed eaves, hollow block walls, and large open overhangs are prime real estate for nesting bees. Many of these structures have cavities that are difficult to access without the right expertise and equipment.
High Tourism and Foot Traffic — Palm Springs welcomes millions of visitors each year. Bees nesting near hotel pools, restaurant patios, outdoor event spaces, and public walkways are not just a nuisance — they are a liability. Fast, professional removal is essential for any commercial property operator in the city.

Every job we take in Palm Springs follows the same structured, proven process — one we’ve refined over three decades of working in the desert.
We Are Professional Beekeepers — Not Exterminators
The majority of pest control companies treat bees the same way they treat ants or cockroaches — with chemical sprays. At BeeSmart, we come to every job as trained, professional beekeepers. Humane, live removal and relocation is always our primary method. We protect the colony, protect your property, and protect the environment — without reaching for a pesticide.
We Remove the Full Hive, Every Time
Many homeowners and property managers in Palm Springs have made the costly mistake of hiring a company that kills the bees but leaves the honeycomb behind. In Palm Springs’ summer heat — where temperatures regularly exceed 110°F — abandoned honeycomb melts rapidly, soaking into walls and ceilings with honey, wax, and fermenting organic matter. This attracts new bee swarms, as well as ants, rodents, and other pests, and can cause serious structural damage. BeeSmart always removes the complete hive structure and seals every cavity — the job is not finished until the problem is fully resolved.
Deep Local Knowledge of Palm Springs Properties
From the vintage estates of the Movie Colony and the Old Las Palmas neighborhood, to the boutique hotels and short-term rentals of Uptown Palm Springs, to the commercial corridors along Palm Canyon Drive and Gene Autry Trail — we know Palm Springs properties intimately. We know where bees gain entry, where they hide, and how to reach them no matter the structure.
