Based in Kerrville, Texas, Wendy J. Leonard handles honey bee removal and relocation across the Hill Country, covering Bandera, Bexar, Comal, Kendall, Kerr, and Medina counties. That service area takes in Kerrville along the Guadalupe River as well as Boerne, Bandera, Comfort, New Braunfels, Hondo, and the northern reaches of San Antonio – a wide stretch of limestone hills where honey bees find no shortage of cavities in live oaks, well houses, and older buildings.
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. Removing the comb is the step that separates a beekeeper’s removal from a quick spray-and-leave job: honey left in a wall can ferment, stain, and attract pests long after the bees themselves are gone.
Verified on the state registry
Wendy J. Leonard is listed on the Texas Apiary Inspection Service bee-removal registry, the list maintained by the state’s apiary inspection program at Texas A&M so the public can find beekeepers who handle live removals. In the Hill Country, spring is the busy stretch – swarm season in Texas generally runs from about March through June, and a swarm that clusters on a fence post today can be inside a wall void within days.
Reach out by phone for an assessment and describe where the bees are, how high the entrance sits, and how long they’ve been active. Terms and any fees are set by the beekeeper, so an early conversation is the fastest way to understand your options.
