Frequently Asked Questions About Bee Removal in Boerne, TX
Do you relocate honey bees from Boerne homes?
Yes, whenever the hive location and structure allow it. On Boerne jobs, relocation is the default, and the colony leaves alive in a hive box.
What does bee removal cost in Boerne?
It depends on where the comb is, how long the colony has been building, and how much stone, siding, or cabinetry has to be opened. We quote after inspecting, not over the phone.
Can you remove bees from a historic limestone building without damaging it?
We locate the comb first and open the smallest area that gets us to it. On older stone buildings we go over the plan with the owner before any work starts, and we close the access point before we leave.
Bees moved into my outdoor kitchen. Is that common?
Very. Grill cabinets, speaker boxes, and TV covers are dry, shaded, and protected, which is exactly what scout bees look for. Keep the area closed off and call before using it.
Why are there so many bees near Cibolo Creek?
The creek gives colonies water through the summer, and the pecans and cypress along it offer natural cavities. Homes close to the creek tend to see more scout activity in spring.
Is the swarm on my fence going to stay there?
Probably not for long. A swarm is resting while scouts look for a permanent home, often for a day or two. Call while it is still there and we can usually collect it whole.
Do you treat carpenter bees on cedar beams in Boerne?
Yes. We treat active galleries in beams, posts, and trim, and point out the bare wood that needs a finish to discourage new tunnels.
Is there a guarantee on your work?
Every completed job includes a guarantee against the colony returning to the same sealed entry point, and Keith’s Bee Service is A+ accredited with the Better Business Bureau.
