Santa Ana bee rescue

Live bee removal in Santa Ana that solves the problem

Across Santa Ana and the rest of Orange County, swarms look for a dry, protected cavity — roof tiles and eaves, irrigation and water meter boxes and sheds and garages are all common choices. Once the comb is built, the colony isn’t going to leave on its own.

Spraying a hive inside a structure leaves dead bees and honey behind, which can stain walls, attract pests and invite the next swarm. A live removal takes the whole colony out — comb, honey and all — then seals the entry.

Santa Ana is about 8 miles from our Orange County Google Business location (Eli the Bee Guy | Bee Removal and Rescue - Orange county), and it’s an owner-operated service: your removal is handled by Eli himself, never subcontracted to a pest control crew.

How it works

From first call to bee-free

  1. Free inspection

    Eli locates the hive, checks its size and explains the plan and price before any work starts.

  2. Live removal

    The colony is removed alive — no poison, no chemicals — and kept together with its queen.

  3. Full hive extraction

    All honeycomb, honey and wax residue comes out, so nothing is left to rot or attract new bees.

  4. Seal and relocate

    Entry points are sealed to prevent re-infestation, and the bees go to a vetted local beekeeper.

    Andrea Pastor

  • “I had a major beehive that was growing out of control. Eli came out, explained the process, and was able to find the queen — which was impressive cause it looked like finding a needle in a haystack. Great value for those looking for humane bee removal options!”

    Max Robles

  • “Eli The Bee Guy!! Great name, and he did a great job! Very professional, explained what he was going to do and went right to work and did it. Again great job!”

    Tracy Karvala

  • “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.”

    Michael Sokolowski

  • “I found a company whose mission is to capture your inconveniently misplaced honey bees and place them with a forever nurturing home! No killing, no one left behind, and a new home. Make sure to call Eli, great work and done in 10 minutes!!!”

    Cynthia Laija

  • “Eli showed up after I noticed some bees flying up and around the chimney stack. He got right to work, performed a thorough inspection of the chimney to ensure there were no bees building a hive, and sprayed repellant around the top. Thanks to his proactive measures and thoroughness we never had bees near the chimney again.”

    Daniel Martinez

  • “Eli is the best! 5 stars! Professional and informative! Very easy to talk to. Texted me back whenever I asked questions. I had an outside hive in a decorative pedestal for 20 years! He took the brood and queen the first day, then returned a few days later and took my remaining bees away! Everyone was saved!!!”
