Expert Bee Removal Services in Midland, TX
Bee Busters, Inc. was founded in 2005 by Tim Cleverdon, a degreed biologist with over 35 years of experience in the energy industry and a registered Medical Technologist. The company originated from Cleverdon's personal beekeeping hobby, which began in 1992 after rescuing a swarm of honey bees in Colorado. Recognizing the growing threat of Africanized bees, Cleverdon transitioned his passion into a specialized service focused exclusively on honey bee removal. The company holds commercial pest control licenses from the Texas Department of Agriculture and the Texas Structural Pest Control Board, prioritizing safe, non-lethal swarm capture to address ecological concerns about declining bee populations.Bee Busters emphasizes safety through partnerships with oilfield training providers and offers customized bee safety presentations for clients. With a commitment to preserving pollinators critical to food production, the company removes 12-15 swarms annually while maintaining industry-leading safety protocols that exceed regulatory standards.
