Live bee removal that actually solves the problem

From Fullerton and Anaheim to Irvine, Huntington Beach and Mission Viejo, honey bees move into wall cavities, tile roofs, chimneys, irrigation boxes, block walls and palm trees. 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.

It’s an owner-operated service: your removal is handled directly by Eli, a trained beekeeper — never subcontracted to a generic pest control crew.

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.

    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!!!”
