What bee removal looks like in Orangevale, CA
Orangevale is named for its early-1900s citrus industry, and that heritage still shows: legacy orange, walnut, and fruit trees persist on many of the older semi-rural parcels, giving us a steady stream of swarm calls every spring as those mature trees throw colonies. The housing is a mix of 1950s–1970s ranch homes on half-acre to acre lots (Hazel Avenue corridor, Oak Avenue) and newer 1990s–2000s stucco infill in the denser sections. Native coast live oak, interior live oak, and California bay laurel grow throughout the area, and the lower density compared to Citrus Heights means cavities in mature trees are abundant. Most of our wall-colony calls come from the older wood-frame homes, while the larger lot properties see more tree-cavity and heritage-orchard swarms.
