Rancho Cucamonga bee rescue
Live bee removal in Rancho Cucamonga, done all the way
Rancho Cucamonga runs from the foothills above Alta Loma and Etiwanda down to Foothill Boulevard and the old Route 66 corridor, and you can still see the vineyard and ranch history in some neighborhoods. I’ve done removals all over this city: roof tiles, water meter boxes and valve boxes at homes, and a hive on a shopping center job. Out of Ontario, it’s one of the cities I get called to most.
Getting the bees out is only half of a Rancho Cucamonga 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.
Rancho Cucamonga is about 8 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
-
Free inspection
I find the hive, check how big it is, and walk you through the plan and the price before any work starts.
-
Live removal
The colony comes out alive and stays together with its queen. I don’t use pesticides or poison.
-
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.
-
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!”

FAQ
Rancho Cucamonga bee removal questions
Do you offer bee removal in Rancho Cucamonga, CA?
Yes. Rancho Cucamonga is about 8 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of San Bernardino 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 shed?
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.
How much does bee removal cost in Rancho Cucamonga?
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.
Do you offer same-day or emergency bee removal in Rancho Cucamonga?
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.
