For homeowners and property managers anywhere in New Mexico, NM Bee Removal offers live honey bee removal and relocation on a genuinely statewide basis – and the operation will even travel into Arizona when a job calls for it. Based in Albuquerque, the service regularly catches swarms in Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Tijeras, Bernalillo, and the communities in between, which makes it a practical option for rural properties that struggle to find any beekeeper willing to drive out.
Swarms and established hives call for different approaches, and an experienced beekeeper matches the method to how and where the bees have settled. A swarm clustered on a branch or fence is often a quick capture; a colony that has built comb inside a wall, roof, or shed requires a more involved beehive removal to get the bees, brood, and honey out together. NM Bee Removal handles both, along with swarm catching during the busy spring months.
Where the Bees End Up
Captured swarms are not simply displaced – they are placed into hives where they are cared for and continue pollinating food crops and flora. That relocation-first approach means a bee problem on your property becomes a working colony somewhere it is wanted, instead of a dead one.
Swarm season across New Mexico’s high desert generally runs from roughly March through June, and swarms are easiest to collect in the first day or two after they land. If bees have shown up in Albuquerque or anywhere across the state, reach out for an assessment – terms and any fees are set by the beekeeper.
