Christopher Sextro provides honey bee removal and relocation covering Pflugerville, Texas, one of the fastest-growing suburbs on the north side of the Austin metro. Based in the city itself, he is positioned for calls from Pflugerville’s neighborhoods as well as nearby communities such as Round Rock, Hutto, and north Austin.
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. That distinction matters in Central Texas, where wild colonies help pollinate everything from backyard gardens to wildflower pasture. Removal done right recovers the bees, the comb, and as much of the brood as possible, then gets the cavity cleaned and sealed so the same wall or soffit doesn’t host a repeat colony next spring.
Spring is when most calls happen: Texas swarm season generally runs March through June, and newer subdivisions with fresh landscaping, irrigation, and plenty of weep holes in brick veneer give scout bees exactly the kind of sheltered cavity they are looking for. If you spot steady bee traffic in and out of a single gap – a weep hole, a soffit joint, a fence post – that is the sign a colony is settling in, and earlier calls make for smaller jobs.
Christopher Sextro is a member of the Texas Association of Professional Bee Removers, the statewide organization of professional live removers. Call to describe where the bees are and schedule a visit; terms and any fees are set by the beekeeper.
