Bees in your walls, roof or yard in Chino? I take them out alive, remove the hive and seal the entry so they don’t come back.

Chino bee rescue
What a swarm wants, in Chino or anywhere else in San Bernardino County, is a dry, protected cavity, and palm trees, tree hollows and attics all fit the bill. After they’ve built comb in there, that colony isn’t leaving on its own.
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.
Chino is about 2 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.

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 the bee removal expert, was incredibly professional and calm throughout the entire process of removing the beehive that was discovered inside the walls of my home. From the moment he arrived, he reassured me that everything would be handled safely and there was nothing to worry about. I was shocked to see the hive had grown 12 inches wide and 18 inches inside my walls! Eli was upfront about the cost from the beginning and there were absolutely no hidden fees. He was always on time, answered every question I had, and made sure I understood each step of the process. His knowledge, honesty, and patience helped put me completely at easy during what could have been a very stressful situation. Thank you again, Eli for your outstanding service and for easing my fears. What could have turned into a serious and costly problem was handled professionally from start to finish. I highly recommend Eli to anyone who needs bee removal services. Rex from Chino.”

“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.”

FAQ
Yes. Chino is about 2 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of San Bernardino 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 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.
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.
