For homeowners and property managers around Fort Worth, Green Hands Farm offers live honey bee removal and relocation, with beekeeper Brent Bennett taking calls directly. The farm is based on the northeast side of the city, putting much of Tarrant County within easy reach – Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Keller, Watauga, Arlington, and the neighborhoods of Fort Worth itself.
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 gathered quickly into a box and carried off to an apiary. A colony that has moved into a wall, soffit, or shed is a different job: the comb has to come out along with the bees, or the leftover honey and brood will rot, stain, and draw pests long after the insects are gone.
Green Hands Farm is a member of the Texas Association of Professional Bee Removers, the statewide organization whose members commit to live removal and relocation of honey bees rather than extermination. In North Texas, swarm season generally runs from March through June, so that is when most calls come in – but bees can turn up in structures at any point in the year.
Contact Brent Bennett at 682-540-4433 to describe your situation and arrange removal. Terms and any fees are set by the beekeeper, so be ready to explain where the bees are, how high up, and how long they have been there.
