Glendale bee rescue
Live bee removal in Glendale, done all the way
Glendale is home to about 197,000 residents in Los Angeles County, and the honey bees like it here as much as the people do. When I get a call in Glendale, 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.
Getting the bees out is only half of a Glendale 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.
Glendale is about 35 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
From first call to bee-free

-
Live removal
The colony comes out alive and stays together with its queen. I don’t use pesticides or poison.
-
Full hive extraction
I take out all the honeycomb, honey and wax residue, so there’s nothing left in there to rot or attract new bees.

“Eli was very easy to work with. We set it up the day before and he was out on site on time and ready to go. He removed the beehive very fast. The whole process was very streamlined and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to call him again. Thank you, Eli again for the great work.”

“Eli was a joy to deal with. The beekeeper came right on time and promptly removed the swarm of honeybees that was taking up residence in my yard, I was so happy to find them a good home. Both Eli’s service and price were fantastic. I would recommend this service with no reservations.”

“Eli, the bee guy was very professional and worked with my elderly parents in a nice and quick manner for an insane bee infestation they had in their backyard. He was able to coordinate with me (even not living in the area) and with my parents, accurately and timely. The best part was that the bees get to live a life somewhere that’s more safe and conducive for them. 10/10 would recommend!”

FAQ
Glendale bee removal questions
Is Eli the Bee Guy available in Glendale?
Yes. Glendale is about 35 miles from my Ontario 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 Glendale?
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.
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.
