Texas Honey Bee Removal & Farms answers honey bee calls throughout the Gilmer area from a base on Finch Road in Gilmer, Texas, with beekeeper Henry Jones behind the operation. The name says it plainly: this is a working bee outfit rather than a pest-control franchise, pairing removal calls with the farm side of keeping bees.
Rather than exterminating, live-removal beekeepers safely capture the colony and relocate it to a managed apiary whenever possible – protecting the bees while solving the problem on your property. In a rural county like Upshur, that approach earns its keep twice over: East Texas properties tend to have the barns, well houses, and old outbuildings that feral colonies love, and the same pineywoods landscape depends on pollinators for gardens, orchards, and wildflower pasture.
Gilmer is the Upshur County seat, about half an hour north of Longview and an easy drive from Big Sandy, Ore City, Diana, and Pittsburg, which puts much of Northeast Texas within practical calling range. Swarm season in this part of the state generally runs March through June – the weeks when a football-sized cluster can appear on a limb or fence post overnight, and when a quick call gets the cleanest, simplest result.
Texas Honey Bee Removal & Farms is a member of the Texas Association of Professional Bee Removers, the statewide association of beekeepers committed to relocating honey bees alive. Call 903-918-7021 to describe where the bees are and schedule a visit; terms and any fees are set by the beekeeper.
