Bees in your walls, roof or yard in Garden Grove? I take them out alive, remove the hive and seal the entry so they don’t come back.

Garden Grove bee rescue
What a swarm wants, in Garden Grove or anywhere else in Orange County, is a dry, protected cavity, and attics, block walls and spaces under decks and patios all fit the bill. After they’ve built comb in there, that colony isn’t leaving on its own.
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.
Garden Grove is about 12 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.

Services
I take live colonies out and rehome them with vetted local beekeepers.
Every bit of honeycomb out of walls, roofs, chimneys and sheds.
A ball of bees on a branch or fence in Garden Grove? I box it alive for $250.
Safe around kids, pets and anyone with allergies, and I seal the entry points when I’m done.
Quiet, low-key removals for businesses, HOAs and property managers.
Ground nests and wall nests, taken out without pesticides.
I take nests down off eaves and patios and out of play areas.
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.

FAQ
Yes. Garden Grove is about 12 miles from my Orange County location, and I cover all of Orange 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 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.
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.
