Honey Shack NM provides live honey bee removal and relocation for the Los Lunas and Albuquerque metro area, and it is just as well known locally as a working honey farm and storefront. The shop sits on State Highway 47 in Los Lunas, in the Rio Grande valley of Valencia County south of Albuquerque – handy to Belen, Bosque Farms, Peralta, and the surrounding villages.
Live removal means the bees are captured and rehomed to a hive rather than destroyed – better for the pollinators and for a lasting fix at your property. Because Honey Shack manages more than one hundred hives across New Mexico and nearby regions, a captured swarm has a real destination: it joins a working apiary operation rather than simply being hauled away. Any terms for swarm calls are set by the beekeeper, so describe your situation when you call.
More Than Removal
The retail side is a draw in its own right. Honey Shack stocks more than twenty varieties of honey, thirteen of them produced in New Mexico, alongside hive-based products, gifts, and beekeeping equipment – and the shop also sells bees to local hobbyists starting their own colonies. That mix makes it a useful stop whether you are dealing with an unwanted swarm or hoping to start a backyard hive of your own.
Swarm season along the middle Rio Grande typically runs from March into June, when colonies divide and scout new cavities in walls, sheds, and cottonwoods. If bees have clustered on your property in Los Lunas or anywhere in the metro, call Honey Shack NM to confirm availability and next steps.
