Placentia bee rescue

Live bee removal in Placentia, done all the way

Placentia is home to about 52,000 residents in Orange County, and the honey bees like it here as much as the people do. When I get a call in Placentia, the colony is usually in spaces under decks and patios, roof tiles and eaves or irrigation and water meter boxes, and most people don’t know it’s there until they hear the buzzing.

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.

Placentia is about 16 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.

  • “Great job relocating bees under a shed. Had to cut a small hole in floor but cut was clean and easy to repair.”

  • “I had a major Beehive that was growing out of control. Eli came out , explained the process , and was able to find the queen— which was impressive cause it looked like finding a needle in a haystack. Great value for those looking for humane bee removal options!”

  • “As you can see, what started as a small gathering turned into a rager ( 🐝 🤭). I'm so glad I found Eli the Bee Guy to break up the party. His pricing was more than fair, he was straightforward, explained the process clearly, and got started right away. And as a major bonus, he saved the little bees. I highly recommend.”

  • “Stubborn bee’s in my attic. Multiple visits to finally evict the bees. Very prompt responses and professional advice.”

    ChermcbethGoogle review ·

  • “Eli the Bee Guy and his awesome father provided the safe relocation of a bee swarm that happened to appear overnight! Quick response time after one phone call with Eli, and he was able to have his father come by on the same day. Extremely efficient, father Dimitri was able to finish the removal within 30 minutes! A+++ family business and would call again and would recommend to family and friends around Walnut and surrounding cities.”

FAQ

Placentia bee removal questions

Is Eli the Bee Guy available in Placentia?

Yes. Placentia is about 16 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of Orange 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 Placentia?

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 Placentia?

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 Placentia?

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 Placentia too?

Yes. I take care of wasp and yellow jacket nests too, including aggressive ground nests near patios, pools and play areas.
