Houston & Greater Houston · Live honey bee removal

Bees in the wall. We take the colony and the comb.

Live honey bees covering an established hive on weathered wood

A hanging swarm is a short job. A hive in a soffit, chimney, or wall is a cutout. We relocate live bees, pull every sheet of comb, and close the cavity so honey doesn’t rot in your house.

  • Licensed & insured cutouts
  • Live relocation when we can
  • Comb out, cavity sealed
  • Call 24 hours a day

Where they hide

Check the places we actually find them.

Honey bees are cavity nesters. If you have a hole and a dark void, they will try it — weep holes, soffit gaps, chimney caps, meter boxes, even a children’s playhouse. See what to do about bees in a wall or bees in a water meter box.

Walls & attics

Cavity colonies behind siding, stucco, and drywall. Thermal locate, then a clean cutout.

Soffits, roofs, chimneys

The most common entry is a gap where materials change. We open only what we need.

Swarms in the open

A hanging cluster on a branch, fence, or playset is often a same-day catch-and-relocate.

Sheds, barns, boxes

Garages, meter boxes, irrigation lids, and outbuildings. Same rule: bees and comb, not poison.

Swarm or cutout

A cluster on a branch is not a hive in a wall.

If they arrived today and they’re hanging in a ball, that’s a swarm — usually docile, usually a same-day relocate. If they’ve been flying in and out of one hole for a week or more, there is comb, brood, and honey behind the surface. That’s a cutout. Spraying it leaves a rotting hive in the structure.

The job

Three steps. No fogging. No leftover honey.

Full process

  1. 01

    You tell us what you see

    The form on this page. Location, how long, and a phone number we can actually reach.

  2. 02

    We diagnose on the call

    Swarm or established hive, access, and a range — usually from photos. No mystery visit fee.

  3. 03

    Locate, remove, seal

    Thermal camera, live extraction, comb and honey out, entry closed so they don’t come back.

Don’t

Three things that make this worse.

  • Don’t spray an established hive

    Dead bees leave pounds of honey and wax in the wall. It melts, ferments, and draws ants, roaches, and the next swarm to the same scent.

  • Don’t seal the hole while they’re inside

    They will chew a new exit — often into a bedroom. Leave the entrance. We close it after the colony and comb are out.

  • Don’t hire a spray-only pest route

    A live-removal crew is a beekeeper plus a carpenter. If they can’t explain how they’ll get the comb out, they aren’t doing this job.
