Frequently Asked Questions About Bee Removal in Canyon Lake, TX
Do you relocate honey bees from Canyon Lake homes, or just treat them?
We relocate them. Whenever the hive location allows it, the colony leaves alive in a hive box. Treating the entry point alone is not how we work on Canyon Lake jobs.
How much does bee removal cost at Canyon Lake?
It depends on where the comb is, how long the colony has been building, and how much of the structure has to be opened. We give a firm quote after we see the property instead of guessing over the phone.
I only visit my lake house on weekends. Can you work while I am away?
Often, yes, if we can reach the hive from the outside and you can give us access to the property. We talk through access and timing on the phone first.
Why do bees keep finding homes around Canyon Lake?
Water, cover, and quiet. The lake gives colonies water all summer, the cedar and oak hills give them natural cavities, and homes that sit empty for weeks give scouts time to settle on a wall void.
Can you collect a swarm hanging on my dock?
Yes. A resting swarm is usually calm because it has no comb to defend yet. Call while it is still in place, since swarms often move on within a day or two.
Are the bees in my rock wall Africanized?
You cannot tell by looking, which is why we treat every colony with care until we know how it behaves. Keep people and pets away from the wall and let us assess it before anyone tries to seal the opening.
Will you close up the wall after removing the comb?
We close the access point we open before we leave. For larger finish work on stone or stucco, we tell you exactly what was opened so your contractor can match it.
Do you guarantee a Canyon Lake bee removal?
Yes. 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.
