What bee removal looks like in Wilton, CA
Wilton is genuinely rural Sacramento County — hobby ranches, horse properties, small orchards, and working farms scattered across large parcels southeast of Elk Grove. The housing is a mix of 1960s–90s ranch and modular homes, and the Cosumnes River Preserve (the Central Valley's largest protected riparian habitat) anchors the landscape with extensive valley oak, sycamore, cottonwood, and willow forest. Because the preserve supports one of the largest wild honey bee populations in the metro, we see more feral-colony tree calls and swarm pickups here than anywhere else in Sacramento County. Homeowners frequently find colonies in old barn walls, outbuildings, water meter boxes, and heritage oak trees on the edges of pastureland.
