Bees in your walls, roof or yard in Laguna Niguel? I take them out alive, remove the hive and seal the entry so they don’t come back.

Laguna Niguel bee rescue
Most of the hives I take out in Laguna Niguel are tucked into attics. I also find plenty in block walls and spaces under decks and patios. If a colony moves in during spring, it can be tens of thousands of bees by summer, with honeycomb filling the whole space behind it.
Getting the bees out is only half of a Laguna Niguel 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 Niguel is about 11 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
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.

“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
Yes. Laguna Niguel is about 11 miles from my Orange County 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 attics, block walls and spaces under decks and patios 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.
