Humane, live bee removal and hive relocation for homes and businesses in Rosemead. I’m a beekeeper, so the bees leave alive instead of getting sprayed.

Rosemead bee rescue
Rosemead is home to about 51,000 residents in Los Angeles County, and the honey bees like it here as much as the people do. When I get a call in Rosemead, the colony is usually in chimneys, palm trees or tree hollows, and most people don’t know it’s there until they hear the buzzing.
Getting the bees out is only half of a Rosemead 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.
Rosemead is about 25 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.

Services
I take live colonies out and rehome them with vetted local beekeepers.
Every bit of honeycomb out of walls, roofs, chimneys and sheds.
A ball of bees on a branch or fence in Rosemead? I box it alive for $250.
Safe around kids, pets and anyone with allergies, and I seal the entry points when I’m done.
Quiet, low-key removals for businesses, HOAs and property managers.
Ground nests and wall nests, taken out without pesticides.
I take nests down off eaves and patios and out of play areas.
How it works
I find the hive, check how big it is, and walk you through the plan and the price before any work starts.
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.
I seal the entry points so bees don’t move back in, and the colony goes to a vetted local beekeeper.

“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
Yes. Rosemead is about 25 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of Los Angeles County. Call (626) 487-6052 to set up a free inspection.
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.
Yes, hives in chimneys, palm trees and tree hollows 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.
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.
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.
Yes. I take care of wasp and yellow jacket nests too, including aggressive ground nests near patios, pools and play areas.
