Fontana bee rescue
Live bee removal in Fontana, done all the way
Fontana stretches from the foothills up north, around Summit Heights and Sierra Lakes, down through the older neighborhoods along Sierra Avenue and on south toward the freeway corridors. Most of my calls here are for tile roofs, irrigation boxes, block walls and sheds on the bigger lots. The inland summers run hot, and the swarms keep coming well into the season.
If a hive inside a structure gets sprayed, the dead bees and the honey stay in the wall, where they can stain it, attract pests and pull in the next swarm. On a live removal I take the whole colony out, comb and honey included, and then seal the entry.
Fontana 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.

The colony comes out alive and stays together with its queen. I don’t use pesticides or poison.

What Inland Empire and LA County customers say

“Thank you to Eli for the excellent service you provided. I called regarding a bee issue at one of the HOA properties we manage in Fontana, and I appreciate that you answered immediately and sent someone out the very same day to relocate the bees. I am very happy with your prompt response and kindness throughout the process.”

“I called Eli because I had a swarm of bees in one of my citrus trees, and he came all the way to my home in Fontana the same day. When he arrived most of the bees were gone, and there was no hive. The bees are going after a white crystal substance in the tree leaves. Eli assessed the situation and gave advice on what I can do, but didn’t charge me, since he didn’t remove them. He was so kind and helpful! I truly appreciate and recommend him.”

“Very professional and fast service! Repairs looks good. Too bad we couldn’t keep the honey 🍯”

“I had a bee issue that was much larger than I knew. They were not resting, they had taken up residence in an opening under the roof. I wanted the bees removed without killing them. Eli was able to evict them with minimal loss of bees. While the bees were deciding where to go next, my front yard looked like a scene from an Alfred Hitchcock movie. The next day I found maybe 10 dead bees, most likely the victims of their bee hive mates. Save the bees, call Eli.”

FAQ
Fontana bee removal questions
Do you offer bee removal in Fontana, CA?
Yes. Fontana is about 12 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of San Bernardino County. Call (626) 487-6052 to set up a free inspection.
Is your bee removal humane?
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 attic?
Yes, hives in attics, block walls and spaces under decks and patios 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.
What does bee removal cost in Fontana, CA?
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 Fontana?
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.
