For homeowners and property managers around New Braunfels, Charlie Bee Company offers live honey bee removal and relocation. Swarms and established hives call for different approaches, and an experienced beekeeper matches the method to how and where the bees have settled — a spring swarm clustered on a fence post is a quicker job than a mature colony that has built comb inside a wall or roof void.
The company was founded by beekeeper Charlie Agar and his wife Kaye, and it has grown into far more than a removal service. Their fifteen-acre home base near Seguin and New Berlin, a short drive from New Braunfels, operates as a beekeeping school and agritourism destination, offering beekeeping classes and private instruction, seasonal live bee sales, and pollinator-themed tours. Charlie’s bee-rescue work across the Texas Hill Country reached a national audience through the PBS series “Charlie Bee Company.”
Hive leasing, honey, and more
For rural landowners, the company runs a hive-leasing program for agricultural tax valuation, serving properties along the I-10 and I-35 corridors near San Antonio. A retail shop stocks jars of honey, beekeeping equipment, and branded merchandise, and the “Inside the Box” blog gives a week-by-week look at what is actually happening in the hives.
