Rev Kent A. Heimbigner handles honey bee removal and relocation with a home base in the Johnson and Tarrant county area south of Fort Worth. Per his Metro Beekeepers Association listing, those two counties are his preferred territory, but he will travel farther when necessary — with the caveat that an additional charge may apply if the distance is great, a fair arrangement stated plainly up front.
His services center on swarm pickups and some cut-outs. A swarm pickup is the simplest kind of bee call: a cluster of bees hanging from a branch, fence, or eave while scout bees search for a permanent home, which an experienced beekeeper can often box up and carry away in a single visit. A cut-out is the bigger undertaking — a proper cut-out traces the colony inside the structure, removes bees and comb, and seals the entry so a new swarm doesn’t move into the same void. Knowing which situation you have, and saying so when you call, makes matching the job to the beekeeper much faster.
Heimbigner holds Texas apiary transport permit TX-6-17-084, which the state requires for relocating live colonies, and appears on the Metro Beekeepers Association hive-removal list serving the Fort Worth area. In this part of Texas, swarm calls cluster from roughly March through June, and a swarm caught early rarely becomes a cut-out later. As with every listing in this directory, terms and pricing are set by the beekeeper. Contact Rev Kent A. Heimbigner at 817-501-0108 to describe your situation and arrange removal.
