Colton bee rescue
Live bee removal in Colton, done all the way
What a swarm wants, in Colton or anywhere else in San Bernardino County, is a dry, protected cavity, and irrigation and water meter boxes, sheds and garages and wall cavities 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.
Colton is about 20 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.

“Left a small opening on this house we’re working on and never thought we’d show up 48 hrs later with a swarm of bees here. Found Eli on google and he was there within 2 hours to solve our problem. Thanks Eli for your help and quick response!”

“Highly recommend! Eli responded quickly and had someone out the same day to safely relocate a large hive from my backyard. The whole process was smooth, professional, and stress free. So grateful for their fast and humane service. Thank you!”

“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
Colton bee removal questions
Do you offer bee removal in Colton, CA?
Yes. Colton is about 20 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of San Bernardino 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 water meter box?
Yes, hives in irrigation and water meter boxes, sheds and garages and wall cavities 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.
What does bee removal cost in Colton, CA?
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.
Can you come out today in Colton?
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.
Do you handle wasps and yellow jackets?
Yes. I take care of wasp and yellow jacket nests too, including aggressive ground nests near patios, pools and play areas.
