Bee Removal in Elgin, Texas

Elgin is the Sausage Capital of Texas, a title earned through decades of smoked meat excellence that has put this small town east of Austin on the map for anyone who takes barbecue seriously, which in Texas is essentially everyone. The bees in Elgin are not here for the sausage, but they are here for the same things that make the area productive: rich Blackland Prairie soil, abundant wildflowers, and a landscape that transitions from farmland to wooded creek bottoms with the kind of ecological diversity that pollinators thrive on. Honey Bee Rescue provides professional live bee removal throughout Elgin and the surrounding Bastrop County area.

Elgin's historic downtown features brick and wood-frame commercial buildings that have been standing for well over a century, and some of them have been hosting bee colonies for nearly as long. The residential neighborhoods have their share of older construction too, with pier-and-beam homes, detached garages, and outbuildings that all provide shelter for colonies. When a hive establishes itself in one of these structures, it can grow undisturbed for years, producing an enormous volume of comb and honey that requires careful, thorough removal.

Saving Elgin's Pollinators

The farmland surrounding Elgin depends on pollinators for everything from hay production to vegetable gardens, and the native plants along the creeks and fence rows need them too. Honey Bee Rescue removes colonies alive and relocates them to managed apiaries, keeping those pollinators in the ecosystem instead of in your wall. It is a better outcome for the bees, for the local agriculture, and for your home.

If bees have moved into your Elgin property, whether it is the historic Main Street building or a ranch house off Highway 95, call Honey Bee Rescue at (214) 227-7562. We are TDA licensed, insured, and we promise not to argue with you about which Elgin sausage maker is the best one. That is between you and your taste buds.
