Frequently Asked Questions About Bee Removal in Manor, TX
Do you relocate honey bees from Manor homes?
Yes, whenever the hive location and structure allow it. Relocation is the default on Manor jobs, and the colony leaves alive in a hive box.
How much does bee removal in Manor cost?
It depends on where the comb is, how long the colony has been building, and how much siding or drywall has to come off. We quote after seeing it, not over the phone.
My house in Manor is brand new. How did bees get in already?
New homes often have small gaps at vents, soffit returns, and where lines enter the wall. Scout bees can find those openings within weeks of a family moving in.
Can I just seal the hole where the bees go in?
Please do not. Sealing an active entrance traps the bees, and they will often find a way into the house instead. The comb has to come out first.
What is coming out of the cracks in my yard?
In late summer the clay soil here opens up, and yellow jackets often nest in those gaps. Ground nesting bees use bare soil in spring. Keep mowers and kids away and call so we can tell which it is.
Is a swarm on my fence dangerous?
A resting swarm is usually calm because it has no comb to protect. Give it space and call while it is still there, since it may move into a wall within a day or two.
Do you treat carpenter bees in Manor?
Yes. We treat active galleries in pergolas, fences, and trim, and point out the bare wood that needs a finish so they do not come back.
Do you guarantee 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.
