Rialto bee rescue
Live bee removal in Rialto, done all the way
Most of the hives I take out in Rialto are tucked into irrigation and water meter boxes. I also find plenty in sheds and garages and wall cavities. 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.
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.
Rialto is about 17 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
Rialto bee removal questions
Do you offer bee removal in Rialto, CA?
Yes. Rialto is about 17 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.
Can you get to a hive inside the structure?
Yes, hives in irrigation and water meter boxes, sheds and garages and wall cavities 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 Rialto, 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.
Do you offer same-day or emergency bee removal in Rialto?
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.
