Corona bee rescue
Live bee removal in Corona, done all the way
Corona sits right up against the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains. On the south and west edges of town, backyards run straight into brush and open land where wild colonies live, and the swarms coming down out of those hills move into stucco walls, tile roofs, block walls and irrigation boxes in the newer tracts. From spring into summer, Corona keeps me busy with a steady run of swarms.
Getting the bees out is only half of a Corona 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.
Corona is about 12 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
From first call to bee-free
-
Free inspection
I find the hive, check how big it is, and walk you through the plan and the price before any work starts.
-
Live removal
The colony comes out alive and stays together with its queen. I don’t use pesticides or poison.
-
Full hive extraction
I take out all the honeycomb, honey and wax residue, so there’s nothing left in there to rot or attract new bees.
-
Seal and relocate
I seal the entry points so bees don’t move back in, and the colony goes to a vetted local beekeeper.

What Inland Empire and LA County customers say

“Eli is the best! 5 stars! Professional and informative! Very easy to talk to. Texted me back whenever I ask questions. Explained how bee removal is a multi day process in my case. No problem! I had an outside hive in a decorative pedestal. Had it for 20 years! He took the brood and queen the first day. Then he allowed the workers time to settle down for a few days. During that time I had at least one large group swarm, then fly away. Eli informed me that this is normal and expected. Then he returned a few days later and took my remaining bees away! Everyone was saved!!! Thank You, Eli !!! Eli the GOAT! (Greatest Of All Time!)”

“Eli was amazing to work with. When I was describing our bee problem, he asked all the questions and was very thorough in his explanation of what needed to be done. He was true to his word and came out that very day. He immediately took care of the problem and explained every step to us. I would recommend his Bee service to anyone that has a bee problem!”

FAQ
Corona bee removal questions
Is Eli the Bee Guy available in Corona?
Yes. Corona is about 12 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of Riverside County. Call (626) 487-6052 to set up a free inspection.
Are the bees killed or relocated?
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.
Can you get to a hive inside the structure?
Yes, hives in block walls, spaces under decks and patios and roof tiles and eaves 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.
Is bee removal free in Corona?
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.
How fast can you get here?
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.
