Los Alamitos bee rescue
What a swarm wants, in Los Alamitos or anywhere else in Orange County, is a dry, protected cavity, and palm trees, tree hollows and attics all fit the bill. After they’ve built comb in there, that colony isn’t leaving on its own.
Getting the bees out is only half of a Los Alamitos 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.
Los Alamitos is about 17 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.

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 Los Alamitos? 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.

“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!”

“Came out the next morning and handled everything quickly and easily can't recommend him enough. And he's got the best business card I've ever seen”

“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. Los Alamitos is about 17 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 palm trees, tree hollows and attics 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.
