Based in West Point, Texas, Johnny’s Bee Haven handles honey bee removal and relocation across West Point and the surrounding area. West Point sits in Fayette County on the Highway 71 corridor between Smithville and La Grange, and beekeeper Johnny McCoy works out of the farm there, serving Fayette and the surrounding counties.
A proper cutout traces the colony inside the structure, removes bees and comb, and seals the entry so a new swarm doesn’t move into the same void. Removals and swarm catches are a natural extension of what this operation does every day: Johnny’s Bee Haven is a full working bee farm that sells live bees, nucs, complete beehives, and beekeeping equipment, and provides agricultural services such as pollination and bee management for area landowners. A colony cut out of a wall in spring can be rehomed straight into the farm’s own equipment rather than destroyed.
A resource for new beekeepers, too
Because the farm sells nucs and complete hives, it also serves as a local starting point for anyone in the La Grange–Smithville area who wants to get into beekeeping rather than simply be rid of the bees. Swarm season in this part of Central Texas runs roughly March through June, when clusters turn up on fences and tree limbs while scouting for a permanent home. Johnny’s Bee Haven is a member of the Texas Association of Professional Bee Removers. Contact Johnny McCoy directly to describe your situation and arrange removal; terms and any fees are set by the beekeeper.
