LA County bee rescue

Live bee removal, from the San Gabriel Valley to the coast

Across Los Angeles County, honey bees move into stucco walls, tile roofs, chimneys, water meter boxes, planters and sheds. Left alone, a colony keeps growing — and so does the honeycomb inside your structure.

Eli the Bee Guy removes the colony alive, takes out the entire hive and honeycomb, and seals the entry points so bees don’t return. The bees are relocated to vetted local beekeepers instead of being killed.

Most LA County jobs are handled by Eli’s own trained crew, working to his standards. Large, high-risk removals, such as big multi-year hives, second-story walls and commercial buildings, Eli handles personally.

How it works

From first call to bee-free

  1. Free inspection

    Call or send a message. Eli locates the hive, checks how big it is and explains the plan and price before any work starts.

  2. Live removal

    The colony is removed alive — no poison, no chemicals — and kept together with its queen.

  3. Full hive extraction

    All honeycomb, honey and wax residue comes out, so nothing is left to rot or attract new bees.

  4. Seal and relocate

    Entry points are sealed to prevent re-infestation, and the bees go to a vetted local beekeeper.

  • “Eli was so nice and took care of our enormous bee problem! He did our inspection and removal all in the same day and it only took about an hour. We would definitely recommend his services!!”

    Andrea Pastor

  • “I had a major beehive that was growing out of control. Eli came out, explained the process, and was able to find the queen — which was impressive cause it looked like finding a needle in a haystack. Great value for those looking for humane bee removal options!”

    Max Robles

  • “Eli The Bee Guy!! Great name, and he did a great job! Very professional, explained what he was going to do and went right to work and did it. Again great job!”

    Tracy Karvala

  • “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.”

    Michael Sokolowski

  • “I found a company whose mission is to capture your inconveniently misplaced honey bees and place them with a forever nurturing home! No killing, no one left behind, and a new home. Make sure to call Eli, great work and done in 10 minutes!!!”

    Cynthia Laija

  • “Eli showed up after I noticed some bees flying up and around the chimney stack. He got right to work, performed a thorough inspection of the chimney to ensure there were no bees building a hive, and sprayed repellant around the top. Thanks to his proactive measures and thoroughness we never had bees near the chimney again.”

    Daniel Martinez

  • “Eli is the best! 5 stars! Professional and informative! Very easy to talk to. Texted me back whenever I asked questions. I had an outside hive in a decorative pedestal for 20 years! He took the brood and queen the first day, then returned a few days later and took my remaining bees away! Everyone was saved!!!”
