Jimmy Seahorn is a honey bee removal and relocation service covering East Texas — Smith, Gregg, Harrison, Rusk, Van Zandt, and Wood counties. That footprint takes in Tyler and Longview along with the smaller towns between them, from Canton and Mineola in the west to Marshall near the Louisiana line, giving a wide stretch of the piney woods a local option when bees turn up where they aren’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 assessing where the colony sits — a wall void, an eave, a water meter box, a hollow tree — then removing bees and comb together so nothing is left behind to rot or to attract a repeat infestation. East Texas gives colonies plenty to work with: long bloom seasons, dense timber, and no shortage of older farm buildings, so removal calls here range from simple swarm catches to full structural cutouts.
Registered with the state’s bee inspectors
Jimmy Seahorn is listed on the Texas Apiary Inspection Service bee-removal registry, the roster maintained by the state’s apiary inspection program at Texas A&M to connect the public with beekeepers who take removal calls. Swarm season in this region runs roughly March through June, and early calls are easier calls. Get in touch to confirm availability and next steps for your property; terms and any fees are set by the beekeeper.
