This porch had a gap between the door, and the outer porch space/roof line. It made for a strange balancing act while performing this removal. Once I figured out my footing – it wasn’t bad at all. The bees were accessed and removed – and the homeowner opted to perform his own repairs afterwards. […] 
High in the air, that is! From the looks of the comb, these bees have been here for about a year – though there was not a LOT of comb, it was a good tan/brown color – indicating it had been here at least through several seasons. The comb and bees were […] 
An out-of-town military serviceman had been stationed on the east coast – and while renovations are being done to his Texas home – it was decided that it was TIME to take out the honeybees, so that other repairs could proceed. He mentioned to me that he knew the bees had been there a while […] 
Another beekeeper received an EMERGENCY call about honeybees that needed to be removed from a telephone utility box. He was unable to make it – so contacted me to see if I was available. I was able to respond for the company – and take care of the bees. The box as I approached it: […] 
This rental home in Dallas had an occupant who was had failed to pay the landlord rent to live in the space. So, the eviction process was started! Once the soffit was opened, It was apparent the bees had been here from a late fall swarm from the year prior. The bees were […] 
I received a call from Texas singer-songwriter Kim Townsend about honeybees that were in her family home just outside of the DFW Metroplex. She had originally called a hobby beekeeper, who got in DEEP over his head – and he had not even started a removal yet. Unprepared, he tried to pry up flashing with […] 
Bees were entering the balcony wall of this condo – and needed to be removed. The walls are appx. 1″ thick cement/stucco – so I had to use a special blade to open the wall to access the comb. Once their void-space was opened – these bees were VERY docile. After the […] 
Royalty? No… These bees were highly aggressive when it was time to remove them from their home. At the peak of a 2nd floor soffit – protected from the sun by a high tree canopy. The comb went about 2 feet over the living space of the house – as well as over […] 
This colony looks to have been here for several months – from the comb – I’d say they probably were an EARLY spring swarm that moved in. The bees had entry to a joist space over this porch area. They have grown substantially in numbers since the homeowner noticed them. Once the lower […] 
One of the first questions I ask of a homeowner with bees is: “How long have they been there?”. Many times, the answer will be “I’m really not sure – maybe from last year or early this spring”. And occasionally I’ll hear “They just moved in this week – come get them NOW! It’s an […] |
