Humane, live bee removal and hive relocation for homes and businesses in Baldwin Park. I’m a beekeeper, so the bees leave alive instead of getting sprayed.

Baldwin Park bee rescue
What a swarm wants, in Baldwin Park or anywhere else in Los Angeles County, is a dry, protected cavity, and roof tiles and eaves, irrigation and water meter boxes and sheds and garages all fit the bill. After they’ve built comb in there, that colony isn’t leaving on its own.
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.
Baldwin Park is about 19 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.

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 Baldwin Park? 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 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.”

“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 was very easy to work with. We set it up the day before and he was out on site on time and ready to go. He removed the beehive very fast. The whole process was very streamlined and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to call him again. Thank you, Eli again for the great work.”

FAQ
Yes. Baldwin Park is about 19 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of Los Angeles 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 roof tiles and eaves, irrigation and water meter boxes and sheds and garages 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.
