Downey bee rescue
Live bee removal in Downey, done all the way
What a swarm wants, in Downey or anywhere else in Los Angeles County, is a dry, protected cavity, and tree hollows, attics and block walls all fit the bill. After they’ve built comb in there, that colony isn’t leaving on its own.
Getting the bees out is only half of a Downey 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.
Downey is about 27 miles from my Orange County Google Business location (Eli the Bee Guy | Bee Removal and Rescue - Orange county). 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.

From first call to bee-free

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.

FAQ
Downey bee removal questions
Do you offer bee removal in Downey, CA?
Yes. Downey is about 27 miles from my Orange County location, and I cover all of Los Angeles 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 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.
Is bee removal free in Downey?
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 Downey?
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.
