Highland bee rescue
Most of the hives I take out in Highland are tucked into irrigation and water meter boxes. I also find plenty in sheds and garages and wall cavities. If a colony moves in during spring, it can be tens of thousands of bees by summer, with honeycomb filling the whole space behind it.
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.
Highland is about 27 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
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 a major Beehive that was growing out of control. Eli came out , explained the process , and was able to find the queen— which was impressive cause it looked like finding a needle in a haystack. Great value for those looking for humane bee removal options!”

“Eli was great! He successfully removed a big beautiful beehive that was in the roof of my home. He’s very professional. I highly recommend him!”

“Eli was great to work with. We had a 10+ year bee hive problem at our house and finally called Eli to come and remove the bees. It turned out to be 3 separate hives in the end. Eli had to come out several times to ensure they were all gone but each time he was very responsive and easy to work with.”

“Eli took care of our bee issue in a timely manner, and he was at our house prompt at the time he said he’d be here. He explained the whole process to me of removing the hive and what to expect afterwards. He was very professional, friendly and courteous in helping us deal with our bee issue and his prices are very reasonable.”

FAQ
Yes. Highland is about 27 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 irrigation and water meter boxes, sheds and garages and wall cavities 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.
