Live bee rescue in Chino Hills, San Bernardino County. I don’t use pesticides on honey bees, I pull out all of the honeycomb, and the bees go to local beekeepers.

Chino Hills bee rescue
What a swarm wants, in Chino Hills or anywhere else in San Bernardino County, is a dry, protected cavity, and sheds and garages, wall cavities and chimneys all fit the bill. After they’ve built comb in there, that colony isn’t leaving on its own.
Getting the bees out is only half of a Chino Hills removal. The comb, honey and wax have to come out too, and then I seal the entry. Skip either one and you’re likely to have bees back in the same spot next year.
Chino Hills is about 7 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.
Recent jobs
Recent jobs in Chino Hills: comb laid out during a removal, large hive in an opened wall, hive inside an eave and open-air colony under an overhang. All of those colonies came out alive, with the comb pulled and the entry sealed afterward.

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 Chino Hills? 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.

“I had 2 large swarms of bees in my palm tree, right outside my backdoor!! I called Eli and he came out the same day. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. His service was fast and efficient. He removed both swarms and determined the location of the main hive lingering in my retainer wall. I will definitely be calling him in the future. I highly recommend his service, and appreciate his knowledge and care in rehoming these amazing pollinators that benefit us all.”

“We had bees coming through the wall and we didn’t know what was going on! Eli came and saved the day! He discovered the bees were entering the house via a crack in the wall. Eli sealed the crack and the bees left. Eli also continued to follow up to make sure the bees were completely gone! Thank you Eli! 😊”

“Very Fast, Prompt! Had bees coming into an old tiled wall fountain that had a hole in it early in the morning. Eli came to the house within 2-3 hours after calling/texting and was able to remove the swarm from the wall and helped patch the small entrance area! Safely guided all the bees out with care and precision! Love to see the care that is given to the bees. His knowledge and explanation of bees made me feel at ease and know that these fascinating creatures are not truly as scary as I thought they were. I truly recommend his services!”

FAQ
Yes. Chino Hills is about 7 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 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.
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.
