For homeowners and property managers around San Angelo, Saint Abigail Honey LLC offers live honey bee removal and relocation, answering swarm calls in the Concho Valley region of West Texas.
Swarms and established hives call for different approaches, and an experienced beekeeper matches the method to how and where the bees have settled. Saint Abigail Honey is run by husband-and-wife team Michael and Nikki, and it is first and foremost a working apiary — the swarms they collect around Tom Green County go into managed hives rather than a bucket of soapy water.
Small-batch West Texas honey
The apiary produces small-batch honey that reflects what actually blooms around San Angelo, with varieties including wildflower honey, cotton honey, a spiced Fire Honey, and honey straws — sold locally, including from a roadside honey box on Penny Lane on the south side of town. Beyond honey, the business sells nucleus colonies (nucs) to area beekeepers looking to start or expand hives, works with top bar hive equipment, and offers hive management services for businesses and estates that want bees kept on their property. Their “You have honey bees — now what?” resources help West Texans figure out the right next step when bees show up.
