Dennis Taylor is a honey bee removal and relocation beekeeper serving Wichita Falls and the surrounding Archer and Wichita county area of North Texas. A veteran beekeeper with roughly three decades of experience, Taylor has been featured by local Wichita Falls news for his perspective on the colony losses and varroa mite pressure facing beekeepers nationwide — the kind of hands-on knowledge that matters when a wild colony takes up residence in a wall, shed, or tree on your property.
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. Taylor’s approach is to move bees out of homes and structures and into more protected spaces where they can keep doing their pollination work. That distinction matters in North Texas, where swarm season typically runs from about March through June: a newly landed swarm is often a quick pickup, while a colony that has built comb inside a structure calls for a more involved removal.
Contacting Dennis Taylor
Taylor is listed on the Texas Apiary Inspection Service bee-removal registry, the state-maintained directory of beekeepers who accept removal calls. When you call, be ready to describe where the bees are located, how high up they are, how long they have been there, and roughly how much bee traffic you are seeing — those details help him gauge the job before a visit. As with any removal, terms and pricing are set by the beekeeper, so discuss specifics when you schedule. Call 940-733-8370 to describe the situation and arrange a visit.
