Covina bee rescue
Live bee removal in Covina, done all the way
Covina is home to about 51,000 residents in Los Angeles County, and the honey bees like it here as much as the people do. When I get a call in Covina, the colony is usually in tree hollows, attics or block walls, and most people don’t know it’s there until they hear the buzzing.
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.
Covina is about 14 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.

“Eli was great! He’s very communicative over text and was more than happy to explain what the process was to someone like me who is by no means a bee enthusiast! I would feel very comfortable hiring Eli again for any future bee-related concerns!”

“Eli took care of our bee issue in a timely manner, and he was at our house prompt at the time he said he’d be here. He explained the whole process to me of removing the hive and what to expect afterwards. He was very professional, friendly and courteous in helping us deal with our bee issue and his prices are very reasonable.”

FAQ
Covina bee removal questions
Do you service Covina, CA?
Yes. Covina is about 14 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of Los Angeles County. Call (626) 487-6052 to set up a free inspection.
Do you kill the bees?
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 trees?
Yes, hives in tree hollows, attics and block walls 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 Covina?
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.
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.
