Laguna Beach bee rescue
Live bee removal in Laguna Beach, done all the way
Laguna Beach is home to about 23,000 residents in Orange County, and the honey bees like it here as much as the people do. When I get a call in Laguna Beach, the colony is usually in sheds and garages, wall cavities or chimneys, and most people don’t know it’s there until they hear the buzzing.
Getting the bees out is only half of a Laguna Beach 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.
Laguna Beach is about 8 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.

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

“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!”

FAQ
Laguna Beach bee removal questions
Do you service Laguna Beach, CA?
Yes. Laguna Beach is about 8 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.
Can you remove bees from inside a wall or roof in Laguna Beach?
Yes, hives in sheds and garages, wall cavities and chimneys 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.
How much does bee removal cost in Laguna Beach?
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 Laguna 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 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.
