Bee Removal Videos

What you’ll see in these bee removal videos

I film these on real jobs across the Inland Empire, Los Angeles County and Orange County. Each one shows where the bees were living, how I found the hive, and how the colony and its honeycomb came out without poison. You’ll see hives inside bedroom and bathroom walls, under roof tiles, around chimneys, under shed floors and inside water meter boxes, plus a few commercial jobs at business sites.

Once a hive is inside a structure, it isn’t going to leave by itself. After the bees build comb, the colony just keeps getting bigger. If you spray it, the dead bees, honey and wax stay behind the wall, where the honey melts, the whole thing starts to smell, and the next swarm comes looking for it. On a live removal I open the cavity, take out the bees, the brood and every piece of comb, and relocate the colony to a beekeeper.

If you watch a few of these, you’ll have a good idea what a removal at your place will look like and how long it takes, and you’ll see why the comb has to come out. If you’re seeing bees going in and out of a wall, roof, vent or ground box, call Eli the Bee Guy for an inspection before the colony grows.
