Humane, live bee removal and hive relocation for homes and businesses in La Habra. I’m a beekeeper, so the bees leave alive instead of getting sprayed.

La Habra bee rescue
La Habra is home to about 63,000 residents in Orange County, and the honey bees like it here as much as the people do. When I get a call in La Habra, the colony is usually in block walls, spaces under decks and patios or roof tiles and eaves, and most people don’t know it’s there until they hear the buzzing.
Getting the bees out is only half of a La Habra 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.
La Habra is about 18 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 La Habra? 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.

“Stubborn bee’s in my attic. Multiple visits to finally evict the bees. Very prompt responses and professional advice.”

“We had bees coming through the wall and we didn’t know what was going on! Eli came and saved the day! He discovered the bees were entering the house via a crack in the wall. Eli sealed the crack and the bees left. Eli also continued to follow up to make sure the bees were completely gone! Thank you Eli! 😊”

“Eli is the quintessential professional. He was quick to respond when I called to inquire about his services. Fortunately for me, he was able to accommodate my timeframe. He was prompt for our appointment, thoroughly explained his process, and completed the job well within the timeframe he promised. Eli's depth of knowledge was quickly apparent in the short time we spoke. It was also clear that Eli respected the bees and the important role they played in our environment. The one thing that stood out to me about Eli, and the thing I'll remember the most, is the positive energy he exudes. Not only does he do a good job, but he also leaves you with a sincere sense of satisfaction.”

“Very fast service, very friendly! Was here within a day, and took care of my bee problem that there's no way I could have handled. He definitely knows his stuff. Worth every penny, and would absolutely recommend if you have any bees that need relocated!”

FAQ
Yes. La Habra is about 18 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of Orange 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, spaces under decks and patios and roof tiles and eaves 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.
