Services
Bee Removal
Professional honey bee removal services that safely relocate hives while protecting property integrity. We use specialized equipment to extract entire colonies without harming bees, including complete honeycomb removal to prevent structural damage. Our technicians provide phone assessments to determine removal complexity before arrival.
Hive Sales
Established Langstroth-style hives available for purchase after 3-6 months of colony development. Each hive undergoes health inspections and comes in new 9-frame boxes. Prospective beekeepers must visit our property to inspect hives before adoption, with typically 10-15 colonies available seasonally.
Wild Honey
Raw, unfiltered Texas honey harvested from rescued bee colonies. Available in 1/2 quart ($12), quart ($18), and gallon ($55) containers. Our honey reflects diverse regional flora and maintains natural enzymes through minimal processing, preserving its nutritional properties.

Questions
Why shouldn't I spray bees myself?
Chemical spraying kills beneficial honey bees and risks contaminating your property. Our live removal methods preserve bee populations while safely relocating colonies to protected environments.
How quickly can you respond to a bee infestation?
We prioritize emergency calls and typically provide phone assessments immediately. Our response time for on-site removal depends on current service load but aims to address urgent cases within 24-48 hours.
What happens to removed bees?
Relocated bees are transported to protected apiaries where they're placed in new hives. Many become available for adoption, while others contribute to our wild honey production through managed colony development.
Do you guarantee complete hive removal?
Our process includes complete honeycomb extraction to prevent structural damage and secondary infestations. We use specialized equipment to access hard-to-reach nests while minimizing property modifications during removal.
