La Mirada bee rescue

Live bee removal in La Mirada, done all the way

La Mirada is home to about 48,000 residents in Los Angeles County, and the honey bees like it here as much as the people do. When I get a call in La Mirada, the colony is usually in tree hollows, attics or block walls, and most people don’t know it’s there until they hear the buzzing.

Getting the bees out is only half of a La Mirada 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 Mirada is about 21 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.

How it works

From first call to bee-free

  1. Free inspection

    I find the hive, check how big it is, and walk you through the plan and the price before any work starts.

  2. Live removal

    The colony comes out alive and stays together with its queen. I don’t use pesticides or poison.

  3. Full hive extraction

    I take out all the honeycomb, honey and wax residue, so there’s nothing left in there to rot or attract new bees.

  4. Seal and relocate

    I seal the entry points so bees don’t move back in, and the colony goes to a vetted local beekeeper.

  • “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

La Mirada bee removal questions

Is Eli the Bee Guy available in La Mirada?

Yes. La Mirada is about 21 miles from my Orange County location, and I cover all of Los Angeles County. Call (626) 487-6052 to set up a free inspection.

Are the bees killed or relocated?

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.

Can you get to a hive inside the structure?

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.

Is bee removal free in La Mirada?

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.

How fast can you get here?

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.

What about wasp and yellow jacket nests?

Yes. I take care of wasp and yellow jacket nests too, including aggressive ground nests near patios, pools and play areas.
