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 […]

Hive #1 had bees that were very gentle to work with, […] I’m often asked by a homeowner to perform a honeybee removal in the winter. My removals are “live” removals – and I do not kill the honeybees to remove them. Education about aspects of the honeybee’s lives is essential to let homeowners know why I generally choose to NOT remove bees from someone’s home, tree, […] |
