Orange bee rescue
Live bee removal in Orange, done all the way
The City of Orange has some of the best-kept older homes in Orange County, especially around Old Towne Orange and the Plaza, plus newer neighborhoods up toward the hills on the east side. On the old wood-framed houses, the porches and craftsman trim leave gaps, and swarms find them quick. Up in the hillside neighborhoods it’s more often bees under the roof tiles or in the brush and trees nearby.
If a hive inside a structure gets sprayed, the dead bees and the honey stay in the wall, where they can stain it, attract pests and pull in the next swarm. On a live removal I take the whole colony out, comb and honey included, and then seal the entry.
Orange 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.

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

FAQ
Orange bee removal questions
Do you service Orange, CA?
Yes. Orange 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.
Do you kill the bees?
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.
What if the hive is in my trees?
Yes, hives in tree hollows, attics and block walls 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 Orange?
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.
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.
