As temperatures rise in North Texas, bee activity increases dramatically. March through June is peak swarm season, and colonies are actively looking for new nesting sites.

Common Nesting Spots

Bees commonly establish hives in wall voids, soffits, chimneys, sheds, water meter boxes, and tree cavities. Any opening larger than 1/4 inch can serve as an entry point.

Prevention Tips

Inspect your property for gaps and cracks in the exterior. Pay special attention to roof lines, eaves, and utility penetrations. Seal any openings with appropriate materials.

When to Call

If you notice bees entering and exiting a specific spot on your property, a colony may already be established. Early removal is easier and less expensive than dealing with a mature hive.
