Pasadena bee rescue
Live bee removal in Pasadena, done all the way
What a swarm wants, in Pasadena or anywhere else in Los Angeles County, is a dry, protected cavity, and spaces under decks and patios, roof tiles and eaves and irrigation and water meter boxes 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 Pasadena 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.
Pasadena is about 29 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.

Live removal
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.

What Inland Empire and LA County customers say

“Very Fast, Prompt! Had bees coming into an old tiled wall fountain that had a hole in it early in the morning. Eli came to the house within 2-3 hours after calling/texting and was able to remove the swarm from the wall and helped patch the small entrance area! Safely guided all the bees out with care and precision! Love to see the care that is given to the bees. His knowledge and explanation of bees made me feel at ease and know that these fascinating creatures are not truly as scary as I thought they were. I truly recommend his services!”

FAQ
Pasadena bee removal questions
Is Eli the Bee Guy available in Pasadena?
Yes. Pasadena is about 29 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of Los Angeles 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 remove bees from inside a wall or roof in Pasadena?
Yes, hives in spaces under decks and patios, roof tiles and eaves and irrigation and water meter boxes 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 Pasadena?
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 Pasadena?
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 remove wasps and yellow jackets in Pasadena too?
Yes. I take care of wasp and yellow jacket nests too, including aggressive ground nests near patios, pools and play areas.
