Hesperia bee rescue
Hesperia is home to about 100,000 residents in San Bernardino County, and the honey bees like it here as much as the people do. When I get a call in Hesperia, the colony is usually in block walls, tree hollows or attics, 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.
Hesperia is about 34 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.

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 Hesperia? 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.

“I had 2 large swarms of bees in my palm tree, right outside my backdoor!! I called Eli and he came out the same day. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. His service was fast and efficient. He removed both swarms and determined the location of the main hive lingering in my retainer wall. I will definitely be calling him in the future. I highly recommend his service, and appreciate his knowledge and care in rehoming these amazing pollinators that benefit us all.”

“Found out I had bees trying to live in my exterior bathroom vent. Eli answered my email request and was able to respond out quickly. He explained the plan to trap them and answered my questions. Once the trap was in place, I realized how much more of a problem I had! Luckily, the bees had not totally 'moved in' so the 'eviction process' started working quickly. No invasive 'wall/stucco demo' situation for me, thank goodness! It did take about 10 days to get the little buggers totally gone, but i was fine with that. Thanks, Eli!”

“Eli is with all kinds of knowledge about bees! He is also easy to talk with at the same time. My bees are gone after his service and with the time frame he told me. I truly recommend him if you found bees in your yard or house!”

“Eli quickly and humanely removed the bees that were invading the inside of my home. They have since flown away to make their home elsewhere. He was reasonably priced and came quickly. WONDERFUL service, so glad to have my bedroom back!”

FAQ
Yes. Hesperia is about 34 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of San Bernardino 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, tree hollows and attics 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.
