Bee Removal in Belton, Texas

Belton sits in the heart of Bell County where the Leon River meets Belton Lake, creating exactly the kind of water-adjacent, wildflower-rich environment that honey bees consider paradise. The historic downtown, the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor campus, and the residential neighborhoods between here and the Temple-Killeen corridor all provide plenty of structures for colonies to call home. Honey Bee Rescue provides professional live bee removal throughout Belton, handling everything from swarm captures in campus courtyards to full structural removals from century-old buildings on the square.

Bell County's warm climate means bee season starts early and lasts well into fall. Colonies that survive the mild winter come out strong in February and start swarming by March, and the established hives in walls and attics of Belton's older homes only grow larger as the season progresses. A colony that has been quietly building inside a wall for two or three years can contain an astonishing amount of comb and honey, and removing it properly requires more than just dealing with the bees. We extract the entire colony, remove all honeycomb, and treat the area to prevent future infestations.

Serving the Bell County Community

The area around Belton Lake and the surrounding ranches sees its share of feral colonies nesting in trees, sheds, barns, and old equipment. These colonies are valuable, and rather than destroying them, Honey Bee Rescue relocates them to managed apiaries where they continue their work as pollinators. It is better for the bees, better for Bell County agriculture, and better for the general principle of not killing things that are trying to help.

Whether you are a UMHB student dealing with bees in your off-campus rental or a homeowner near the lake who has discovered an attic colony, Honey Bee Rescue has you covered. We are TDA licensed, insured, and experienced with the specific construction styles found across the Belton area. Call (214) 227-7562 for a free estimate.
