Diamond Bar bee rescue
Diamond Bar is home to about 55,000 residents in Los Angeles County, and the honey bees like it here as much as the people do. When I get a call in Diamond Bar, the colony is usually in block walls, spaces under decks and patios or roof tiles and eaves, 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.
Diamond Bar is about 10 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
I find the hive, check how big it is, and walk you through the plan and the price before any work starts.
The colony comes out alive and stays together with its queen. I don’t use pesticides or poison.
I take out all the honeycomb, honey and wax residue, so there’s nothing left in there to rot or attract new bees.
I seal the entry points so bees don’t move back in, and the colony goes to a vetted local beekeeper.

“Eli the bee removal expert, was incredibly professional and calm throughout the entire process of removing the beehive that was discovered inside the walls of my home. From the moment he arrived, he reassured me that everything would be handled safely and there was nothing to worry about. I was shocked to see the hive had grown 12 inches wide and 18 inches inside my walls! Eli was upfront about the cost from the beginning and there were absolutely no hidden fees. He was always on time, answered every question I had, and made sure I understood each step of the process. His knowledge, honesty, and patience helped put me completely at easy during what could have been a very stressful situation. Thank you again, Eli for your outstanding service and for easing my fears. What could have turned into a serious and costly problem was handled professionally from start to finish. I highly recommend Eli to anyone who needs bee removal services. Rex from Chino.”

“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!”

“Communication was quick and clear. Daniel came out the same day for wasp removal. He was kind and answered my questions. It was a smooth process and I recommend them.”

“I was very pleased with the level of professional service Eli provided. I liked that he shared picture and video he took of removing the comb to let me see how much of a home the bees had made in my roof eve/soffet. When the stubborn residual bees found a new crevice to enter following the first removal, he made a prompt revisit to “evict” them, and patch the small entrances they were using. I greatly recommend his services, especially after seeing how easy and convenient it was to correspond back-and-forth.”

FAQ
Yes. Diamond Bar is about 10 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of Los Angeles County. Call (626) 487-6052 to set up a free inspection.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. I take care of wasp and yellow jacket nests too, including aggressive ground nests near patios, pools and play areas.
