Theresa Strong provides live honey bee removal and relocation for Houston, working from the southwest side of the city. Live removal means the bees are captured and rehomed to a hive rather than destroyed – better for the pollinators and a more lasting fix at your property.
Calling a beekeeper instead of an exterminator changes the outcome in two ways. First, the colony survives: honey bees are valuable pollinators, and a rescued hive goes on working in a managed apiary instead of dying in your wall. Second, the problem actually ends: a beekeeper removes the comb and honey along with the bees, while a poisoned hive leaves behind pounds of unattended honeycomb that melts in the Houston heat, seeps through drywall, and draws ants, roaches, and eventually the next swarm.
Theresa Strong is a member of the Texas Association of Professional Bee Removers, the statewide association homeowners can use to find removal beekeepers by region. Her southwest Houston base sits within easy reach of Meyerland, Fondren Southwest, Bellaire, Missouri City, and surrounding Harris and Fort Bend County neighborhoods.
In Texas, swarm season generally runs March through June. A swarm – a ball of bees clustered on a branch, fence, or wall – is usually calm and temporary, but it is also the easiest moment for a beekeeper to collect the colony before it moves into a structure. Get in touch at 832-247-5308 to confirm availability and next steps for your property; terms and any fees are set by the beekeeper.
