Our Story

Rooted in Encinitas, Devoted to Bees

A family tradition of beekeeping in North County San Diego

Encinitas Bee Company has been part of the San Diego County community for years. What started as a deep passion for honeybees and their vital role in our local ecosystem has grown into a full-service beekeeping operation — offering humane live bee removal, ongoing hive maintenance, and small-batch artisan honey.

We believe bees are essential partners in our environment. That's why every removal we perform prioritizes the safety of the colony — relocating live bees whenever possible rather than exterminating them. Our approach is rooted in respect for nature and a commitment to the health of San Diego's pollinator population.

Beekeeper Rose leads our team with decades of hands-on experience. From backyard hive consultations to emergency swarm calls, we bring the same care and expertise to every job.

What we stand for

Humane Practices

We never exterminate when live removal is possible. Every colony deserves a chance to thrive in a safe environment.

Community Roots

We are a local, family-run business. San Diego County is our home, and protecting its pollinators is our mission.

Artisan Quality

Our small-batch Encinitas Honey™ is harvested with care — raw, unfiltered, and full of the flavors of North County flora.
