What bee removal looks like in El Dorado Hills, CA
El Dorado Hills is 1980s–2000s foothill custom-home territory — predominantly stucco and wood construction on large lots across Serrano, Bass Lake, and the Town Center-adjacent neighborhoods. The foothill oak woodland is intact on most properties: coast live oak, interior live oak, manzanita, ceanothus, and California buckwheat, with mature trees on 1–3 acre parcels supporting substantial cavity colonies. The upscale landscape focus on Mediterranean plantings (lavender, rosemary, salvias, olive) combined with year-round irrigation gives bees a consistent forage base, and the elevation (~900 ft) pushes spring bloom about two weeks later than the valley floor. We see more large-cavity colonies in mature oaks here than almost anywhere else in the metro.
