It’s about bee swarm season in a few months. We perform non invasive bee extractions that are beneficial to the bees and homeowner. Will will not ever kill or injure a colony. Bees are extracted by:

First: trying to coax the bees out of your home and into our swarm traps using all natural pheromones. This works most times, but remember “your” bees chose their home in your home and may not want to leave voluntarily.

Second: if the bees won’t move voluntarily, it is necessary to remove them manually. Without pesticides or killing them. (Killing bees is unlawful and immoral). This requires finding the extent of the hive using sight and thermal imaging. Extraction from a house requires careful planning and time. Safely removing 100,000 bees requires training and equipment. We will go over a plan with you that is the most noninvasive method to manually remove bees from the structure.

Each removal is different and unique. There is no set method as each home is designed differently and each bee colony specialized for their environment.

We do free estimates, we never kill, our team is comprised of professional apiary experts. And we will “re-home” “your bees” to a farm or ranch where they will be put into production working an orchard or organic farm.

Due to a strange fluke, we have honeycomb. Which is extremely rare for this time of year.

What happened is that one of my hives was being attacked by a raccoon and the bees came out in the freezing cold to “defend the queen” and froze to death. They were successful in chasing off the raccoon (the deer camera footage is hilarious!!!), but too many died and the remainder were unable to keep the brood warm and they flash froze.

Like Pompeii froze. Some were actively cleaning each other’s pollen and depositing nectar. Only a few made it into uncapped nectar filled honeycomb. They vibrate in the honey and make it warm enough to live for awhile, but is a losing process, even if successful.

And yes, the bees were properly winterized, the raccoon tore the hive’s heating jacket.

So, anyway, I have about 20 jars of Yaupon Holly honeycomb, which is a fantastic, fruity flavor.
