Live Bee Removal in Shreveport, Louisiana

Shreveport sits right across the Texas border on the banks of the Red River, which makes it close enough to Texas that we consider it practically family. Honey Bee Rescue provides professional live bee removal throughout Shreveport and the greater Shreveport-Bossier area, serving a city that combines Louisiana culture, Southern humidity, and a climate that honey bees find almost offensively hospitable. The long growing season, abundant water sources, and dense vegetation along the Red River corridor mean that bee colonies in Shreveport tend to be large, well-established, and very comfortable exactly where they are. That's where we come in.

Shreveport's architectural landscape runs from grand antebellum homes in the Highland neighborhood to mid-century ranches, modern commercial buildings near the casinos, and everything in between. Each style presents its own opportunities for honey bees to move in. Older homes with pier-and-beam foundations, original wood siding, and decades-old roofing are particularly attractive to colonies looking for a warm, protected cavity. We've pulled bees from behind the clapboard of Victorian-era houses, from inside the walls of buildings in downtown Shreveport, and from structures near Barksdale Air Force Base where the bees showed no particular concern about the B-52s overhead. Colonies are pragmatic like that.

The Shreveport-Bossier area hosts its own Mardi Gras celebrations, and while the festivities are impressive, the real parade in this part of Louisiana happens every spring when swarm season kicks into high gear. Warm temperatures arrive early, wildflowers bloom along every roadside, and established colonies start splitting and sending out swarms to find new homes. Your home. Your office. Your storage shed that you haven't opened since last fall. Honey Bee Rescue captures swarms alive, removes established colonies from structures, and relocates every bee to our managed apiaries across Texas, where they join our network of 300+ hives.

Louisiana's humidity adds a wrinkle to bee removal that you don't always encounter in drier climates. Honeycomb left inside a wall after a colony is removed will melt and ferment faster in Shreveport's muggy summers, attracting secondary pests and causing staining and odor problems. That's why Honey Bee Rescue always removes all comb and honey during every structural removal—not just the bees. We clean the cavity, treat it to remove pheromone traces that would attract future swarms, and seal the entry points. Our work is fully insured, backed by a warranty, and performed by TDA-licensed beekeepers (License #083303) who understand that a proper removal means leaving nothing behind.

If you've got bees in Shreveport, call Honey Bee Rescue at (318) 642-0800. We'll cross the border, handle the removal, and get those bees relocated to a place where they can produce honey instead of headaches. Shreveport has enough excitement between the casinos, the river, and Sci-Port Discovery Center. You don't need a colony of honey bees adding to the entertainment inside your walls.
