Arcadia bee rescue
Live bee removal in Arcadia, done all the way
Arcadia is home to about 57,000 residents in Los Angeles County, and the honey bees like it here as much as the people do. When I get a call in Arcadia, the colony is usually in palm trees, tree hollows or attics, and most people don’t know it’s there until they hear the buzzing.
With Eli the Bee Guy, the colony comes out alive. I take out every piece of honeycomb and wax and seal the entry points, because the smell left behind draws new swarms back. The bees go to vetted local beekeepers instead of being killed.
Arcadia is about 23 miles from my Ontario Google Business location (Eli the Bee Guy | Bee Removal and Rescue). 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.

What Inland Empire and LA County customers say

“Eli, the bee guy was very professional and worked with my elderly parents in a nice and quick manner for an insane bee infestation they had in their backyard. He was able to coordinate with me (even not living in the area) and with my parents, accurately and timely. The best part was that the bees get to live a life somewhere that’s more safe and conducive for them. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Eli and his father took good care of us. They were able to come remove our hive the next day after contacting them. The hive was about one year old and approximately 40,000 bees, and he removed them in just over two hours. We decided to go with Eli because we wanted the bees to be removed humanely and relocated to another location where they could thrive and continue their critical role in our ecosystem. Eli’s communication was great and they were on time. We also purchased a jar of delicious, natural honey from them. I would highly recommend their services. Kind, courteous and professional.”

FAQ
Arcadia bee removal questions
Do you service Arcadia, CA?
Yes. Arcadia is about 23 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of Los Angeles County. Call (626) 487-6052 to set up a free inspection.
Is your bee removal humane?
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.
What if the hive is in my palm tree?
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.
What does bee removal cost in Arcadia, CA?
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.
Do you offer same-day or emergency bee removal in Arcadia?
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.
Do you handle wasps and yellow jackets?
Yes. I take care of wasp and yellow jacket nests too, including aggressive ground nests near patios, pools and play areas.
