Moreno Valley bee rescue
Live bee removal in Moreno Valley, done all the way
Moreno Valley is home to about 209,000 residents in Riverside County, and the honey bees like it here as much as the people do. When I get a call in Moreno Valley, the colony is usually in chimneys, palm trees or tree hollows, and most people don’t know it’s there until they hear the buzzing.
Getting the bees out is only half of a Moreno Valley 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.
Moreno Valley is about 25 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.

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

What Inland Empire and LA County customers say

“I had 2 large swarms of bees in my palm tree, right outside my backdoor!! I called Eli and he came out the same day. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. His service was fast and efficient. He removed both swarms and determined the location of the main hive lingering in my retainer wall. I will definitely be calling him in the future. I highly recommend his service, and appreciate his knowledge and care in rehoming these amazing pollinators that benefit us all.”

I can not stop thanking them from my heart. They are a life saver to me and the bees. I will most definitely have them back if I have another bee hive. I love and appreciate them so much”

“st, professional, and actually cared about doing the job right. They showed up on time, explained the whole process, and safely removed the bees without making a mess or cutting corners. You can tell they know what they’re doing. Pricing was fair and there were no surprises. If you need bee removal done right the first time, Eli is the one to call.”

“Found out I had bees trying to live in my exterior bathroom vent. Eli answered my email request and was able to respond out quickly. He explained the plan to trap them and answered my questions. Once the trap was in place, I realized how much more of a problem I had! Luckily, the bees had not totally 'moved in' so the 'eviction process' started working quickly. No invasive 'wall/stucco demo' situation for me, thank goodness! It did take about 10 days to get the little buggers totally gone, but i was fine with that. Thanks, Eli!”

“Eli was great to work with. We had a 10+ year bee hive problem at our house and finally called Eli to come and remove the bees. It turned out to be 3 separate hives in the end. Eli had to come out several times to ensure they were all gone but each time he was very responsive and easy to work with.”

FAQ
Moreno Valley bee removal questions
Is Eli the Bee Guy available in Moreno Valley?
Yes. Moreno Valley is about 25 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of Riverside 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 chimneys, palm trees and tree hollows 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 Moreno Valley?
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.
