West Covina bee rescue
Live bee removal in West Covina, done all the way
West Covina is home to about 110,000 residents in Los Angeles County, and the honey bees like it here as much as the people do. When I get a call in West Covina, the colony is usually in tree hollows, attics or block walls, and most people don’t know it’s there until they hear the buzzing.
With Eli the Bee Guy, the colony comes out alive. I take out every piece of honeycomb and wax and seal the entry points, because the smell left behind draws new swarms back. The bees go to vetted local beekeepers instead of being killed.
West Covina is about 15 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.

“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
West Covina bee removal questions
Do you service West Covina, CA?
Yes. West Covina is about 15 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of Los Angeles 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.
What if the hive is in my trees?
Yes, hives in tree hollows, attics and block walls 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 West Covina, 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 West Covina?
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 West Covina too?
Yes. I take care of wasp and yellow jacket nests too, including aggressive ground nests near patios, pools and play areas.
