For homeowners and property managers around Lockhart, All My Bees offers live honey bee removal and relocation. Owner Tony Andric – a self-described recovering computer and electrical engineer turned addicted beekeeper – runs the operation from near Lockhart in Caldwell County, squarely in what he calls the middle of Africanized bee country.
Swarms and established hives call for different approaches, and an experienced beekeeper matches the method to how and where the bees have settled. All My Bees began as a small-scale beekeeping operation doing cutouts, and its focus is extracting colonies intact: minimal disassembly of the structure, minimal property damage, and minimal risk to the people and animals nearby.
The engineer’s approach to bee removal
That engineering background shows in the tools. Tony developed the Everything Bee Vacuum, a purpose-built removal vacuum with adjustable suction pressure designed to capture bees without casualties and keep them together with their brood for relocation. It runs nearly silently, needs no generator or extension cords, and is sold to other removal beekeepers – meaning the equipment used on your wall cutout was designed by the person operating it. (The same workshop also produces automatic chicken doors, if you happen to keep a flock.)

Around Lockhart and greater Caldwell County, swarm season runs roughly March through June, when colonies divide and scout bees hunt for cavities in walls, sheds, and hollow trees. Contact Tony Andric directly to describe your situation and arrange removal – terms and any fees are set by the beekeeper.
