Bee Removal in Austin, Texas
Live Bee Removal in Austin, Texas
Austin prides itself on keeping things weird, but a colony of ten thousand honey bees building comb inside your South Congress bungalow pushes the concept a bit further than most people are comfortable with. Honey Bee Rescue provides professional live bee removal across the entire Austin metro, from the old homes of East Austin to the condos towering over Lady Bird Lake, and every Zilker-adjacent backyard in between. We are TDA licensed, fully insured, and committed to relocating every colony we encounter to one of our 300-plus hives across Texas, because killing bees in the Live Music Capital of the World would be a genuinely terrible opening act.
The combination of Austin's warm climate, abundant wildflowers, and sprawling urban tree canopy makes it one of the most bee-friendly cities in the state. That is wonderful news for pollinators and slightly less wonderful news for the homeowner who discovers a thriving hive behind the siding during a bathroom renovation. From UT campus buildings to tech offices on the east side, bees in Austin are not picky about real estate. They will move into a wall void, a soffit, or the underside of a deck with equal enthusiasm. Honey Bee Rescue responds quickly to all of them.
Swarm Season and the Austin Heat
Swarm season in Austin typically runs from March through June, and during peak weeks the calls come in faster than traffic backs up on MoPac. Swarms cluster on tree branches, fence posts, patio furniture, and occasionally on the handlebars of someone's e-scooter parked on South First. These clusters are usually docile and temporary, but they still deserve professional handling. We capture swarms humanely and give them a proper home, which is more than most apartment complexes in this city can say for their human tenants.
Structural Bee Removal Across Greater Austin
Structural removals are where Honey Bee Rescue really earns its keep. Austin's older neighborhoods, places like Hyde Park, Travis Heights, and Clarksville, feature homes with decades-old construction that bees find irresistible. A mature colony living inside a wall can produce sixty or more pounds of honeycomb, and if left unaddressed, that wax and honey will eventually melt in the Texas heat and cause serious damage. We open the structure carefully, remove every bit of comb, extract the colony alive, and seal the entry points so the next swarm goes house-hunting somewhere else.
Whether you are near Barton Springs watching the Congress Avenue bats at dusk or out in the Hill Country edges of western Austin, Honey Bee Rescue is the call to make when bees show up uninvited. We serve every Austin zip code and most of the surrounding communities. Call us at (214) 227-7562 for a free estimate, and we will get your bee situation handled so you can go back to arguing about breakfast tacos in peace.
