Huntington Beach bee rescue
Live bee removal in Huntington Beach, done all the way
Huntington Beach is a mix of coastal homes, palm-lined streets and big tracts of houses from the 1960s and 1970s. I find colonies in palms, block walls, older wood siding and roof eaves near the coast, and bees coming off the parks and wetlands keep the swarms showing up through spring and summer. The salt air wears out wood and caulking faster here, which is one more reason I take my time sealing the entry point after a removal.
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.
Huntington Beach is about 10 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.

What Orange County customers say

“Eli the Bee Guy is very responsive and attentive to his clients. Not only does he care about the bees, he is very knowledgeable on his extraction, repair, and care. Eli was contacted and provided a timely free consultation. His prices were reasonable and provided a sense of security throughout the whole process answering all my questions. The quote provided was very reasonable, he offered to repair and patch the section he used to extract the bees and that was also reasonable. I would go with Eli again 100 times over should I need help with any bee extraction or need any advice, recommend 120% hands down. Thank you Eli for all your help!”

“Eli the Bee Guy was the best option. He was very professional and helped us in a prompt manner. He was very affordable and as a home owner that was important to us. We highly recommend him. He came and did an inspection and was ready to start.”

“Eli is really good at what he does. He's known to be a top notch bee removal specialist in the area, no regrets. If you need bees removed, especially live removals, not exterminations, he's the guy for the job. He did a removal on the floor of the shed, and not everyone can do this kind of work. Tough work! So, definitely recommend Eli.”

FAQ
Huntington Beach bee removal questions
Do you service Huntington Beach, CA?
Yes. Huntington Beach is about 10 miles from my Orange County location, and I cover all of Orange County. Call (626) 487-6052 to set up a free inspection.
Do you kill the bees?
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 trees?
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.
What does bee removal cost in Huntington Beach, 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.
Do you offer same-day or emergency bee removal in Huntington Beach?
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 remove wasps and yellow jackets in Huntington Beach too?
Yes. I take care of wasp and yellow jacket nests too, including aggressive ground nests near patios, pools and play areas.
