Pierre Deyris Apiaries is a beekeeper-run honey bee removal and relocation service covering Taylor, in eastern Williamson County — an area within easy reach of Hutto, Georgetown, Round Rock, and the small farm towns along the Blackland Prairie east of 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: an exterminator leaves dead bees, comb, and honey sealed inside the structure, while a beekeeper removes the colony and its comb so the cavity is not left full of material that attracts pests or the next swarm. As a working apiary operation, Pierre Deyris Apiaries has managed hives ready to receive the colonies it collects, which is exactly what you want in a removal call — the bees go from your wall, tree, or eave into a functioning bee yard.
When to call
Swarm season around Taylor typically runs March through June, when colonies reproduce and send out clusters to find new homes. A swarm resting on a limb or fence is usually a quick, straightforward collection; a colony that has spent weeks building comb inside a wall void or roofline requires a more involved cutout. Either way, calling early keeps the job smaller.
