Bees n Green is a honey bee removal and relocation service covering Manvel, Texas, operated by beekeeper Travis Feiner. Manvel sits in northern Brazoria County on the fast-growing southern side of the Houston metro, which puts nearby communities like Pearland, Alvin, Rosharon, and Iowa Colony within easy reach when a colony turns up where it isn’t wanted.
Because honey bees are vital pollinators, a live-removal beekeeper relocates the colony to an apiary rather than treating it as a pest to exterminate. In practice that means locating the cluster and its comb – often inside a wall, soffit, shed, or utility box – moving the bees into a hive box, and taking them to a managed bee yard where they can keep working. It solves the property owner’s problem and keeps a productive colony alive.
The Gulf Coast’s mild winters give this part of Texas one of the state’s longest bee seasons. Swarming still peaks in spring, roughly March through June, but colonies along the coastal plain can stay active and build comb for much of the year, so a wait-and-see approach usually means a bigger removal later.
Bees n Green is a member of the Texas Association of Professional Bee Removers, the statewide trade group for live-removal professionals. Call to describe where the bees are, how long they’ve been there, and whether the entrance is high or low on the structure, and schedule a visit. Any terms or pricing are set by the beekeeper.
