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 – […] 
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.

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 – […] 
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. […]

(Yes – with permission and blessing from the demolition crew) One of the items that was saved from the bulldozer […] 
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 […] 
This rental home in Dallas had an occupant who was had failed to pay the landlord rent to live in the space. So, the eviction process was started! 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 […] 
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 […] |
