For homeowners and property managers around Bedford, Just my bees offers live honey bee removal and relocation. Bedford sits in the heart of the Mid-Cities – the stretch of Tarrant County between Dallas and Fort Worth that also takes in Hurst, Euless, and the neighboring suburbs – where established neighborhoods with mature trees and older rooflines give honey bees no shortage of nesting spots.
Swarms and established hives call for different approaches, and an experienced beekeeper matches the method to how and where the bees have settled. A fresh swarm clustered on a branch or fence post can often be collected quickly and boxed for relocation. A colony that has been inside a wall or eave for weeks or months is a different job: the comb, brood, and honey stores need to come out along with the bees, and the entry point should be sealed so a future swarm doesn’t claim the same cavity.
In North Texas, swarm season typically runs from roughly March through June, with the heaviest activity in spring as colonies grow and divide. House-hunting bees commonly slip in through weep holes, gaps around fascia boards, or openings near chimneys – often noticed only when a steady stream of traffic appears at a small gap.
Just my bees is a member of the Texas Association of Professional Bee Removers, a statewide organization of removal specialists. Reach out for an assessment of your situation – terms and any fees are set by the beekeeper, so ask what’s involved when you describe where the bees are.
