Azusa bee rescue
Live bee removal in Azusa, done all the way
Most of the hives I take out in Azusa are tucked into sheds and garages. I also find plenty in wall cavities and chimneys. If a colony moves in during spring, it can be tens of thousands of bees by summer, with honeycomb filling the whole space behind it.
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.
Azusa is about 16 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.

“Eli came through, took care of the issue, and was remarkably professional with his communication. I highly recommend his services. Not often you deal with bees on a massive scale, but it’s reassuring there are people who are passionate about taking care of them correctly while still offering a professional experience. Though I hope I won’t need his services again, I’m deeply grateful for his work ethic.”

“Great service, Eli knows what he's talking about. Said he was going to put a repellent and the bees would slowly disappear over the course of 5 days, and sure enough after 5 days the bees were gone.”

“Eli is with all kinds of knowledge about bees! He is also easy to talk with at the same time. My bees are gone after his service and with the time frame he told me. I truly recommend him if you found bees in your yard or house!”

FAQ
Azusa bee removal questions
Do you offer bee removal in Azusa, CA?
Yes. Azusa is about 16 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of Los Angeles County. Call (626) 487-6052 to set up a free inspection.
Do you kill the bees?
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 shed?
Yes, hives in sheds and garages, wall cavities and chimneys 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.
How much does bee removal cost in Azusa?
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 Azusa?
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.
