For homeowners and property managers around Abilene, Sadie Grace Farms offers live honey bee removal and relocation. The farm itself sits in Lawn, Texas, on Highway 84 south of Abilene, and serves the Big Country region of west-central Texas – a stretch of Taylor County and its neighbors where established colonies routinely turn up in wellhouses, barns, and wall voids.
Swarms and established hives call for different approaches, and an experienced beekeeper matches the method to how and where the bees have settled. Sadie Grace Farms removes and relocates honeybees from structures, and the operation is run by Crissy Ward, who also serves as President of the Big Country Beekeepers Association. The farm is a member of the Texas Association of Professional Bee Removers as well, so a removal call here reaches someone deeply embedded in the area’s beekeeping community.
A Working Bee Farm, Not Just a Removal Service
Rescued bees join a farm with a full educational mission. Sadie Grace Farms teaches Beekeeping 101 and 201 classes plus an apprenticeship program, runs a mentorship program for new beekeepers, gives presentations to schools and community groups, and hosts private farm tours – hands-on in the hives or watching from the Bee Barn. The farm store carries raw local honey, cut comb, honey-based lip balms and salves, farm-fresh eggs, and gift baskets, and there is even a Bee Bunk House rental on the property.
Swarm season in the Big Country typically runs March through June. Reach out for an assessment – terms and any fees are set by the beekeeper.
