Anaheim bee rescue
For bees, Anaheim is really two cities. In the older neighborhoods of west and central Anaheim you’ve got mature trees, palms, block walls and wood-sided houses with plenty of gaps for a colony to get into. Anaheim Hills is newer stucco with tile roofs on the slopes, and there the swarms settle under the tiles and up in the eaves. Then there’s the resort and convention district, with its hotels, restaurants and shopping centers, where a hive near an entrance has to come out fast and without a scene.
If a hive inside a structure gets sprayed, the dead bees and the honey stay in the wall, where they can stain it, attract pests and pull in the next swarm. On a live removal I take the whole colony out, comb and honey included, and then seal the entry.
Anaheim is about 14 miles from my Orange County Google Business location (Eli the Bee Guy | Bee Removal and Rescue - Orange county). Eli the Bee Guy is owner-operated. I take on the large and high-liability removals myself, and smaller jobs go to my own trained crew, who use the same methods. I never hand a job off to a pest control company.

Services
I take live colonies out and rehome them with vetted local beekeepers.
Every bit of honeycomb out of walls, roofs, chimneys and sheds.
A ball of bees on a branch or fence in Anaheim? I box it alive for $250.
Safe around kids, pets and anyone with allergies, and I seal the entry points when I’m done.
Quiet, low-key removals for businesses, HOAs and property managers.
Ground nests and wall nests, taken out without pesticides.
I take nests down off eaves and patios and out of play areas.
How it works
I find the hive, check how big it is, and walk you through the plan and the price before any work starts.
The colony comes out alive and stays together with its queen. I don’t use pesticides or poison.
I take out all the honeycomb, honey and wax residue, so there’s nothing left in there to rot or attract new bees.
I seal the entry points so bees don’t move back in, and the colony goes to a vetted local beekeeper.

“Eli the Bee Guy is very responsive and attentive to his clients. Not only does he care about the bees, he is very knowledgeable on his extraction, repair, and care. Eli was contacted and provided a timely free consultation. His prices were reasonable and provided a sense of security throughout the whole process answering all my questions. The quote provided was very reasonable, he offered to repair and patch the section he used to extract the bees and that was also reasonable. I would go with Eli again 100 times over should I need help with any bee extraction or need any advice, recommend 120% hands down. Thank you Eli for all your help!”

FAQ
Yes. Anaheim is about 14 miles from my Orange County location, and I cover all of Orange County. Call (626) 487-6052 to set up a free inspection.
I remove bees alive whenever I can and relocate them to vetted local beekeepers. I’m a beekeeper, not an exterminator, and I don’t use poison on honey bees.
Yes, hives in palm trees, tree hollows and attics are routine work for me. I open up the cavity, take out the colony and all of the honeycomb, and then seal the entry point so bees don’t move back in.
The inspection is free. The removal isn’t, because a proper live removal costs time, fuel, equipment and liability. Swarm removal is $250. A structural removal from a wall, roof or chimney usually runs $375 to $1,000, depending on how much I have to open up and seal. I’ll give you the exact price before any work starts. More on what goes into bee removal cost.
Often, yes. I’m open 24 hours Monday through Saturday, and a lot of the time I can come out the same day. If anyone in the house has a severe allergy to bee stings, tell me when you call. See emergency bee removal.
Yes. I take care of wasp and yellow jacket nests too, including aggressive ground nests near patios, pools and play areas.
