  • Honey bees are removed alive by a beekeeper, with no pesticides or poison.
  • All honeycomb comes out, and entry points are sealed so bees don’t move back in.
  • Rescued colonies are rehomed with vetted local beekeepers.
  • Wasp and yellow jacket nests are handled too.

Hours and response time

I’m open 24 hours Monday through Saturday, and I can often get there the same day. On Sundays I still answer calls and texts, but the removal gets scheduled for Monday. If anyone in the home has a life-threatening allergy to bee stings, tell me when you call so I can move your job to the front of the line.

Where I work

Eli the Bee Guy is based in Ontario, and I take jobs up to about 50 miles out:

  • Orange County: Anaheim, Irvine, Fullerton, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach and every other city in the county
  • The Inland Empire: Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Chino, Upland, Riverside, Corona and nearby cities
  • Los Angeles County: Pomona, Claremont, La Verne, Diamond Bar, West Covina and the San Gabriel Valley

Here’s every city I serve.

Pricing and payment

The inspection is free, and you’ll know the exact price before any work starts. A swarm removal is $250, and structural removals from a wall, roof or chimney usually run $375 to $1,000. I take cash, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, checks and invoicing, plus Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Square. More on what goes into bee removal cost.

Before you call

What should I tell you when I call?

Where the bees are (wall, roof, tree, water meter box, ground), roughly how long they’ve been there, how high up the entrance is, and your city. A photo or short video of the entrance helps me give you an accurate quote.

Can you come out the same day?

Often, yes. I’m open 24 hours Monday through Saturday. If you call on a Sunday I’ll still pick up, and the removal goes on the schedule for the next working day.

Should I spray the bees while I wait?

No. Spraying makes the colony defensive. It can also kill bees inside the wall, where the comb and honey are left to rot, and it makes a live removal harder. Keep people and pets away and call me instead.

Is the inspection really free?

Yes. I’ll tell you what you’ve got and what it’ll take to remove it before you commit to anything. The removal itself isn’t free. A proper live removal takes time and equipment, and I’m taking on the liability.
