Bee Removal in Dripping Springs, Texas

Dripping Springs brands itself as the Gateway to the Hill Country, and given its location on US 290 west of Austin, surrounded by distilleries, wineries, wedding venues, and some of the most scenic ranch land in Texas, the title is well earned. It is also the gateway to some of the most active bee territory in the region. The limestone karst terrain, spring-fed creeks, and diverse native plant communities of western Hays County create conditions that honey bees find irresistible, and Honey Bee Rescue provides professional live removal throughout Dripping Springs and the surrounding area when those bees pick the wrong place to build.

The wedding industry alone keeps Dripping Springs busy, and nothing disrupts a Hill Country ceremony quite like the discovery that the charming stone chapel has a colony of ten thousand bees living in the wall behind the altar. We have handled removals from wedding venues, winery tasting rooms, distillery buildings, and the upscale ranch homes that dot the landscape between Dripping Springs and Hamilton Pool. These properties often feature limestone and cedar construction that provides natural cavities bees are drawn to instinctively.

Hill Country Colonies and How We Handle Them

The Hill Country around Dripping Springs supports feral bee populations that are robust and well adapted to the terrain. When these colonies swarm, the scouts search for suitable cavities, and the mix of old ranch buildings, stone fences, and modern construction in the area gives them plenty of options. Honey Bee Rescue performs complete structural removals, taking out the colony alive, cleaning all honeycomb from the cavity, and sealing entry points to prevent the cycle from repeating. Every colony is relocated to a managed apiary.

Dripping Springs residents understand the value of the natural environment around them, and most appreciate knowing that the bees removed from their property are relocated rather than destroyed. We are TDA licensed, fully insured, and we share that appreciation. Call Honey Bee Rescue at (214) 227-7562 when the bees show up, and we will handle the rest so you can get back to enjoying the Hill Country. Or at least get back to choosing between the twelve distilleries within a ten-minute drive.
