Frequently Asked Questions About Bee Removal in Buda, TX
Do you relocate honey bees from Buda homes?
Yes, whenever the hive location and structure allow it. On Buda jobs relocation is the default, and the colony leaves alive in a hive box.
What does bee removal in Buda cost?
That depends on where the comb sits, how established the colony is, and how much stone, siding, or drywall has to be opened. We give a firm quote once we have seen it in person.
Bees are coming out of a stone column on my porch. Can you get them out?
Yes. We find the comb, open the smallest section of stone or the column cap that reaches it, remove everything, and close it back up. Stone work is slower, so we explain the plan before starting.
Why do so many bees show up near Onion Creek?
The creek gives colonies water through the hottest months, and the oaks along it offer natural cavities. Homes close to Onion Creek and Garlic Creek tend to see more scout bees in spring.
Can I spray the bees myself?
We would not. Spraying scatters the bees and leaves the comb, which then melts and draws more insects. It can also make a defensive colony harder to handle safely.
How long will a swarm stay on my tree?
Usually a day or two while scouts look for a permanent home. Call while it is still hanging there and we can often collect it whole.
Do you handle wasps and yellow jackets too?
Yes. We remove paper wasp and red wasp nests, handle yellow jackets in the ground, and treat the areas wasps keep returning to.
Is there a guarantee on bee removal?
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.
