Whittier bee rescue
Live bee removal in Whittier, done all the way
What a swarm wants, in Whittier or anywhere else in Los Angeles County, is a dry, protected cavity, and chimneys, palm trees and tree hollows all fit the bill. After they’ve built comb in there, that colony isn’t leaving on its own.
Getting the bees out is only half of a Whittier 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.
Whittier is about 22 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.

How it works
From first call to bee-free

-
Live removal
The colony comes out alive and stays together with its queen. I don’t use pesticides or poison.
-
Full hive extraction
I take out all the honeycomb, honey and wax residue, so there’s nothing left in there to rot or attract new bees.

FAQ
Whittier bee removal questions
Do you offer bee removal in Whittier, CA?
Yes. Whittier is about 22 miles from my Ontario location, and I cover all of Los Angeles County. Call (626) 487-6052 to set up a free inspection.
Are the bees killed or relocated?
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 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.
How much does bee removal cost in Whittier?
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 handle wasps and yellow jackets?
Yes. I take care of wasp and yellow jacket nests too, including aggressive ground nests near patios, pools and play areas.
