These honeybees have been in the cavity of this tree for a few years. The removal was very straightforward – and went fairly quickly. Alltogether, bout 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Honeybee removal from a tree. The tree is aged, and has some sizeable cavities within. Bees moved in at least a year ago (the comb […] 
Rex Smith’s Honeybee Removal – 2024
*** As of January 2024 – Rex Smith / Harmony Hollow will no longer be performing structural removals of honeybees *** I am referring people to the following resources for bee removals: Ft Worth area – Richard Siegrist – BeeRemovalz.com – 214-864-0695 Dallas Area: Ryan Giesecke – Honeybee […] 
This colony of bees was very docile – I probably could have done the whole removal without a bee suit – but I always suit up – just in case one rogue wants to tag me. A view from within the house while removing the comb. There was NO sign of a laying queen in […]

These bees have been in the soffit for a while. The homeowner bought the house recently, and needs to do some work – that the bees were preventing. After a successful removal – the bees were re-homed to a Harmony Hollow Apiary outyard – and are doing well. Enjoy! It’s been a while, however I found this gem of a video in the vault – that never got published. A swarm arrived at this young lady’s home the night before. Brianna was excited to learn about the bees, and had never experienced a swarm like this – she insisted on bravely scooping the bees […] This bee removal was from a tree that had fallen in a golf course in a storm last week. If you like chainsaws.. look at the video. I love making the sawdust fly. 😉 The rest of the tree was already cleared away – but the course maintenance crew wanted to make sure the colony […] |
