Claremont bee rescue
Live bee removal in Claremont, done all the way
Claremont is home to about 37,000 residents in Los Angeles County, and the honey bees like it here as much as the people do. When I get a call in Claremont, the colony is usually in palm trees, tree hollows or attics, and most people don’t know it’s there until they hear the buzzing.
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.
Claremont 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.

“This man is a saint walking on earth. He made himself available for a last-minute request and shared his own proprietary system for removing the bees ethically from my apartment building… He really didn’t have to help us as much as he did, but he did because he cares. And I’m so grateful to have connected with him. Please recommend Eli The Bee Guy!”

“Eli did a wonderful job of removing the bees from our patio area. He did the job quickly and said that we could reach out in the future if needed. He answered all my questions as well!”

“Eli was great to work with. We had a 10+ year bee hive problem at our house and finally called Eli to come and remove the bees. It turned out to be 3 separate hives in the end. Eli had to come out several times to ensure they were all gone but each time he was very responsive and easy to work with.”

FAQ
Claremont bee removal questions
Do you offer bee removal in Claremont, CA?
Yes. Claremont is about 7 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of Los Angeles County. Call (626) 487-6052 to set up a free inspection.
Is your bee removal humane?
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.
What if the hive is in my palm tree?
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.
How much does bee removal cost in Claremont?
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.
Do you offer same-day or emergency bee removal in Claremont?
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.
What about wasp and yellow jacket nests?
Yes. I take care of wasp and yellow jacket nests too, including aggressive ground nests near patios, pools and play areas.
