Old trees and wooded areas are frequent locations for bee colonies. Here in North Texas, Silver Maples are a favorite for large branch-filled hives. Oak, Elm, and Pecan trees have a few pocket hives found each year.

Hackberry and Mulberry trees die from the ground up, which gives bees a great hollow space to move into. These tree cavities provide excellent insulation and protection from the elements, making them ideal nesting sites for honey bee colonies.

If you discover a bee colony in a tree on your property, we can often remove it without harming the tree. Our experienced beekeepers assess the situation and determine the safest approach for both the bees and your landscaping.
