Pomona bee rescue
Live bee removal in Pomona, done all the way
Most of the hives I take out in Pomona are tucked into tree hollows. I also find plenty in attics and block walls. If a colony moves in during spring, it can be tens of thousands of bees by summer, with honeycomb filling the whole space behind it.
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.
Pomona is about 6 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.

FAQ
Pomona bee removal questions
Do you service Pomona, CA?
Yes. Pomona is about 6 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of Los Angeles 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 Pomona?
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.
What does bee removal cost in Pomona, CA?
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 Pomona?
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 Pomona too?
Yes. I take care of wasp and yellow jacket nests too, including aggressive ground nests near patios, pools and play areas.
