Rex Smith’s Honeybee Removal – 2023 *** IF TEMPERATURES EXCEED 95 DEG F – THE REMOVAL MAY BE RESCHEDULED FOR A COOLER TIME or DAY *** If you are in need of having a honeybee swarm picked up, or a full colony of bees removed from a structure – please see the following links for […] 
This removal – though fairly straightforward – had the potential to go VERY wrong The wall stud-space was not insulated – I suspect because there was a vent-stack as well as electrical lines in that portion of the wall. Care MUST be taken when cutting into any unknown void (i.e. drywall) to ensure that no […] 
A short video with highlights from setting up a new bee yard for a customer. Hive stands, 10-frame Langstroth woodenware, and NUC colonies – delivered and setup. If you have not yet subscribed to my YouTube channel – be sure to! There will be a link in the video – near the end […] 
This short video outlines how to convert a standard frame feeder into a no-drown feeder for syrup being fed to bees. All items for the upgrade were available as scrap from my personal workshop – so no additional materials were purchased for the improvements. The only expenditure was my personal labor. Be sure to watch […] 
The homeowner noticed bees entering and exiting from the shed in the back yard the week before. Since we were still several weeks prior to our swarm season – I suspected the bees * may * have been there a bit longer than the homeowner was aware of. A nice queen was found, the bees […]

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 […] 
Another hive – and the bees have been here a *little* longer than the homeowner had noticed. Though much of the comb was pure white – there was also plenty that was tan and brown. I suspect the bees arrived EARLY this spring, then went unnoticed by the homeowners until they returned from a […] 
Though bees were active in this space days prior to the removal – it may have simply been robbing activity. The placement of the hive raised a concern when I evaluated the colony – as it looked like the hive would be exposed to some intense sun exposure – and the week I evaluated – […] |
