For homeowners and property managers around Arlington, Richard Threlkeld offers live honey bee removal and relocation, handling bees in trees, water meter boxes, and homes. He is listed on the Metro Beekeepers Association hive-removal list, and his credentials run deeper than most: he is a Texas Master Beekeeper at the Advanced level, has served as an officer of the Metro Beekeepers Association, and holds a Texas transport permit (TX-6-17-075) for legally moving bees.
Swarms and established hives call for different approaches, and an experienced beekeeper matches the method to how and where the bees have settled. A cluster hanging in a tree can often be boxed and gone the same day, while a colony inside a wall or a water meter box takes careful extraction of bees and comb together. Like many Metro Beekeepers officers, Threlkeld also gives talks on bees and beekeeping, mentors new beekeepers, captures swarms, and relocates wild hives – so removal work here feeds directly back into the local beekeeping community.
Serving Arlington and the Mid-Cities
Arlington sits at the center of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, and Tarrant County’s mix of mature trees, older neighborhoods, and utility boxes gives spring swarms plenty of places to settle. Swarm season in North Texas runs roughly March through June. Pricing varies with the size of the hive, the distance traveled, and the difficulty of reaching the colony – terms are set by the beekeeper. Contact Richard Threlkeld at 214-850-1558 to describe your situation and arrange removal.
