Bees moved into a home in Poetry, Texas at least three years ago. The homeowner loves bees, and really does not have a problem with them being here – however when it was time to hire a contractor to do some routine maintenance and upgrades – the bees needed to go – so that progress […] 
The homeowners had purchased this home last year, right about the time I’d estimate that the bees moved in (based on the comb color and condition), however the home itself tells a story about bees occupying the space in years past – based on the residue and remnants from wax moth in the space. During […] 
This homeowner had bees move into the water meter last year. Concerned for the safety of the water meter readers – he called to have the bees removed. This was 2 weeks ago, and I am happy to report that the bees are doing well after their removal from the water meter, and are […] 
During the cold months, one of the more common questions I am asked about is: “What do the bees do in the winter?”. The short answer is that they “sit in cluster” to maintain enough heat to ensure the survival of the colony. It is extremely important that the bees have enough food brought in […]

The homeowner has had bees in this house for at LEAST 3 years. While they have not been a problem for the homeowner, they posed a potential problem for roofing crews who were to replace the roof. Hammering and activity on the roof tends to occasionally upset bees that are just below the roofers. 😉 […] 
A short film of the bees yard activity when open feeding honeybees. Honey from structural removals is fed back to the honeybees. This helps ensure that each hive in the apiary has enough food stores to make it through the winter. When there is no natural nectar flow, open feeding can be used to make […] At first glance at the articles I have read in the last few days, one would think to themselves: “What does this matter? These bees are isolated and in Hawaii – how should that mean anything to us here in the contiguous 48?”. Easy answer. These bee species *are* in an isolated area, and thus […] |
