Based in Houston, Texas, Space City Bees handles honey bee removal and relocation across Houston. Unlike a one-truck removal outfit, this is a working beekeeping operation that maintains apiaries in and around Houston, including Santa Fe, Alvin, Baytown, Pasadena, Richmond, Katy, Cypress, and Tomball – which means rescued colonies have somewhere real to go once they leave your wall or water meter box.
A proper cutout 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. Space City Bees also takes swarm reports, and spring is when those calls spike: swarm season across Texas generally runs from about March into June, when healthy colonies split and scouts go hunting for a new cavity.
Beekeeping services beyond removal
Space City Bees puts real emphasis on education – the team’s stated mission is teaching the next generation how to care for bees naturally. Hive mentoring and inspection services let customers either lead an inspection with guidance or watch the crew work, with each hive’s progress tracked over time. For landowners with roughly five to twenty acres, the company assists with agricultural exemption (ag valuation) setups by placing and managing hives on the property. Hive management and spot-check services and a limited line of beekeeping supplies round out the offering.
