San Bernardino bee rescue
Live bee removal in San Bernardino, done all the way
San Bernardino is home to about 222,000 residents in San Bernardino County, and the honey bees like it here as much as the people do. When I get a call in San Bernardino, the colony is usually in irrigation and water meter boxes, sheds and garages or wall cavities, and most people don’t know it’s there until they hear the buzzing.
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.
San Bernardino is about 21 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.

“I used their services for a business and they came out next day to remove bees without harming them! Most companies I called were going to kill the bees, I was very happy to have called Eli. I would highly recommend them!”

“Eli was amazing to work with. When I was describing our bee problem, he asked all the questions and was very thorough in his explanation of what needed to be done. He was true to his word and came out that very day. He immediately took care of the problem and explained every step to us. I would recommend his Bee service to anyone that has a bee problem!”

“Eli came through, took care of the issue, and was remarkably professional with his communication. I highly recommend his services. Not often you deal with bees on a massive scale, but it’s reassuring there are people who are passionate about taking care of them correctly while still offering a professional experience. Though I hope I won’t need his services again, I’m deeply grateful for his work ethic.”

“Thank you to Eli for the excellent service you provided. I called regarding a bee issue at one of the HOA properties we manage in Fontana, and I appreciate that you answered immediately and sent someone out the very same day to relocate the bees. I am very happy with your prompt response and kindness throughout the process.”

FAQ
San Bernardino bee removal questions
Is Eli the Bee Guy available in San Bernardino?
Yes. San Bernardino is about 21 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.
Is bee removal free in San Bernardino?
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.
How fast can you get here?
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 San Bernardino too?
Yes. I take care of wasp and yellow jacket nests too, including aggressive ground nests near patios, pools and play areas.
