Irvine bee rescue
Live bee removal in Irvine, done all the way
Irvine is master-planned: villages, HOAs and business parks. Most of the homes are newer stucco with concrete tile roofs, and in Irvine the swarms usually end up under those roof tiles, in the eaves, or down in the irrigation and water meter boxes in the landscaped common areas. So much of the city is run by HOAs and property managers that I work with management companies here all the time, so the removal and the repair follow the community’s rules.
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.
Irvine is about 4 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.

FAQ
Irvine bee removal questions
Do you offer bee removal in Irvine, CA?
Yes. Irvine is about 4 miles from my Orange County location, and I cover all of Orange County. Call (626) 487-6052 to set up a free inspection.
Is your bee removal humane?
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 deck?
Yes, hives in spaces under decks and patios, roof tiles and eaves and irrigation and water meter boxes 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 Irvine, 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.
Can you come out today in Irvine?
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 handle wasps and yellow jackets?
Yes. I take care of wasp and yellow jacket nests too, including aggressive ground nests near patios, pools and play areas.
