Put Down the Garden Hose, Hero.
We’ve seen the YouTube videos. You think you’re going to tackle that massive hive behind the shed with a can of grocery store wasp spray and a prayer. Please don’t.
Best case scenario, you annoy them and they move deeper into your walls. Worst case scenario, you end up running down the street flailing like those wacky inflatable tube men at a car dealership. Bees in South Texas can get aggressive when threatened, especially the spicy Africanized varieties. Trying to handle a hive yourself isn't brave; it's a really painful way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
We’re Bee-nb Hosts, Not Exterminators.
In a world that’s losing pollinators, we prefer the eco-friendly route. We aren't here to commit bee-icide. Our primary goal is live removal and relocation. We carefully extract the colony, the queen, and the honeycomb from your property and transport them to a suitable location in South Texas where they can pollinate crops and live their best lives.
We've been doing this for 30+ years, which means we know exactly how to handle the tricky situations without turning your home into a scene from a horror movie. We save the bees, and we save your sanity. Win-win.
Our Honey-Do List
1. The Recon Mission (Assessment)
First, we suit up in our "astronaut gear" to figure out exactly what we’re dealing with. Is it a basketball-sized swarm that just pulled up, or a massive, established metropolis inside your siding? We use thermal imaging and our ears to map the hive's exact location without having to punch a million holes in your wall.
2. The Royal Decree (Queen Capture)
This is the most critical step. The colony will not leave without their leader. We gently expose the hive and begin the delicate search for Her Majesty, the Queen. Once we locate the Queen, we gently secure her in a special travel cage. Where she goes, the rest of the colony will docilely follow. It’s like a royal procession, but much buzzier.
The Great Migration (Live Removal)
With the Queen secured, we use specialized,低-suction bee vacuums to carefully collect the worker bees. We then painstakingly cut out all the honeycomb, brood, and honey. This isn't just about getting the bees out; it's about removing the entire infrastructure they built.
4. Cleanup & Repair (Prevention)
This is the step amateurs skip. If you leave honey and wax inside a wall, it will melt, rot, and attract every ant, roach, and raccoon in the neighborhood. We clean the space to remove tracking pheromones, fill the void, and seal the entry point tightly so no new tenants can move in.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
Less than an ER visit if you try it yourself. It depends on the size and location of the hive, but we give upfront pricing before we start.
Do you exterminate bees?
Nope! We are a live removal service. We love bees. We just think they have terrible taste in real estate.
How long does it take to relocate the bee hive?
Usually just a few hours, depending on the size of the hive. We get in, get them out, and get gone before supper time.
Will they damage my house?
The bees themselves? A little. The honey they leave behind if not removed correctly? A lot. Honey melts, attracts ants and roaches, and ruins drywall. That’s why we take the comb too.
Can I keep the honey?
Generally, no. It’s often dirty with insulation or drywall dust. Trust us, you want the stuff in the jar at H-E-B.
