Ontario bee rescue

Live bee removal in Ontario, done all the way

Ontario is home base. Eli the Bee Guy’s main Google Business location is at 255 Via Prado, so Ontario jobs often get my fastest response. I pull hives out of interior walls, from under roof tiles and out of eaves all over town, from the older homes near downtown and the Euclid Avenue corridor to the newer tracts in Ontario Ranch and the warehouses and commercial buildings around the airport.

With Eli the Bee Guy, the colony comes out alive. I take out every piece of honeycomb and wax and seal the entry points, because the smell left behind draws new swarms back. The bees go to vetted local beekeepers instead of being killed.

Ontario is about 2 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.

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.

  • “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 did an amazing job gathering all these bees and fast! Very clean work at geting to the hive. Hopefully i do not have to use his services again, but if I do he will be my first call.”

  • “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 called Eli because I had a swarm of bees in one of my citrus trees, and he came all the way to my home in Fontana the same day. When he arrived most of the bees were gone, and there was no hive. The bees are going after a white crystal substance in the tree leaves. Eli assessed the situation and gave advice on what I can do, but didn’t charge me, since he didn’t remove them. He was so kind and helpful! I truly appreciate and recommend him.”

Thank you Eli👍👍👍 We would highly recommend Eli for any issues concerning bees, because we know that bees are so very important to our environment, but can occasionally infringe upon our homes & businesses. Again, we do appreciate that Eli removes bees 🐝 in the most gentle way possible. Devin Hunt”

FAQ

Ontario bee removal questions

Is Eli the Bee Guy available in Ontario?

Yes. Ontario is about 2 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of San Bernardino 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 Ontario?

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.

Is bee removal free in Ontario?

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.

Can you come out today in Ontario?

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.
