BeeWrangler is a honey bee removal and relocation service covering Gainesville, operated by Cooke County beekeeper Brandon Nix. Gainesville sits along the I-35 corridor just south of the Red River and the Oklahoma line, an area of pastures, pecan bottoms, and older homes that gives swarming colonies no shortage of tempting nesting cavities each spring.
Because honey bees are vital pollinators, a live-removal beekeeper relocates the colony to an apiary rather than treating it as a pest to exterminate. That distinction matters more than many homeowners realize: spraying a colony inside a wall leaves behind comb, brood, and stores of honey that can ferment, stain drywall, and draw robber bees, wax moths, or rodents. A removal done by a beekeeper aims to take out the bees and the comb together, leaving the cavity clean and far less inviting to the next passing swarm.
Serving Cooke County and the Texoma area
BeeWrangler is a member of the Texas Association of Professional Bee Removers, the statewide organization whose public directory connects Texans with vetted removal specialists. Swarm season in North Texas generally runs March through June, when established colonies divide and scout bees investigate soffits, wall voids, water meter boxes, and hollow trees around Gainesville and its rural neighbors. If bees have settled somewhere they shouldn’t, call to describe where the bees are and schedule a visit – terms and any fees are set by the beekeeper.
