Needing a new roof!

Hail from storms this spring has prompted many homeowners to need new shingles put onto their roofs. Unfortunately, when bees occupy space in the soffits, the work crews cannot work to hammer the new shingles into place – as the bees become just a bit perturbed at the violation of their vibrational space by hammers.

One House, Two Hives

This homeowner knew that she had bees for “a little while” – however, really could not pinpoint exactly how long. There were two spots that the bees were entering and exiting the home – so there were two possibilities: Either there was one LARGE hive, with two entrances…. or there were two separate hives – […]

Strange Archetecture

This porch had a gap between the door, and the outer porch space/roof line. It made for a strange balancing act while performing this removal.

Once I figured out my footing – it wasn’t bad at all. The bees were accessed and removed – and the homeowner opted to perform his own repairs afterwards.

These bees are high!

High in the air, that is!

From the looks of the comb, these bees have been here for about a year – though there was not a LOT of comb, it was a good tan/brown color – indicating it had been here at least through several seasons.

The comb and bees were […]

Brownsboro… by way of Ben Wheeler

An out-of-town military serviceman had been stationed on the east coast – and while renovations are being done to his Texas home – it was decided that it was TIME to take out the honeybees, so that other repairs could proceed.

He mentioned to me that he knew the bees had been there a while […]

Utility Company Bees

Another beekeeper received an EMERGENCY call about honeybees that needed to be removed from a telephone utility box. He was unable to make it – so contacted me to see if I was available. I was able to respond for the company – and take care of the bees.

The box as I approached it:

Once the soffit was opened, It was apparent the bees had been here from a late fall swarm from the year prior. The bees were […]

Grossly Mis-Diagnosed (…or they are NOT Africanized)

I received a call from Texas singer-songwriter Kim Townsend about honeybees that were in her family home just outside of the DFW Metroplex. She had originally called a hobby beekeeper, who got in DEEP over his head – and he had not even started a removal yet. Unprepared, he tried to pry up flashing with […]

Ross’s Bees

Bees were entering the balcony wall of this condo – and needed to be removed. The walls are appx. 1″ thick cement/stucco – so I had to use a special blade to open the wall to access the comb.

Once their void-space was opened – these bees were VERY docile.

After the […]
