Swarm Removal
Swarms are groups of bees that are on the move in search of a new home. This usually occurs in the spring time but can actually happen at anytime of year in Brazoria County.
Swarms can be found almost anywhere and sometimes can form in trees, water meter boxes, electrical boxes and under overhangs. The bees are typically very gentle but could easily fall from the area if disturbed. If you see a swarm, give us a call, we can get the swarm relocated easily to a safe place before the bees decide to make it more permanent which will only complicate the process. We advise that you do not disturb or attempt to spray a swarm with anything as this could easily upset the bees and make the removal difficult or completely undesirable for the beekeeper.
Swarm / Hive Removal FAQs
-
We can sometimes remove a swarm at no cost depending on the situation but more than likely there will be a charge. Swarms are the cheapest to remove since they are not yet established. Hives typically cost more due to the complexity. Bees that are difficult to access will also have additional charges.

We will relocate the bees to an area that is safe for them. We will monitor them and evaluate the hive for its strength and temperament. We will nurse the colony back to good health and then deploy them into an area that will be successful for them and hopefully get them to produce some honey.

We are experienced Bee removers and have removed many hives without incident. We utilize Infrared technology to locate hive accurately; minimizing any damage in accessing the hive. We do not kill the bees and perform a complete removal without the use of chemicals. If removed incorrectly, honey could be left behind that would encourage mice and other pests problems.
