Chemical-free honey bee removal and relocation for the historic homes and river-corridor properties of New Braunfels.

New Braunfels sits where the Guadalupe and Comal Rivers meet, and that river corridor, with its cypress trees, limestone bluffs, and constant humidity, is close to ideal habitat for honey bee colonies looking for a new home. Keith’s Bee Service has been called into homes near Landa Park, along Gruene Road, and out toward the newer subdivisions off FM 306 for bee removal, and the river influence shows up in almost every job.

The tourist traffic through New Braunfels, especially the crowds heading to Schlitterbahn and the tubing outfitters each summer, means vacation rental owners and property managers here have a particular stake in staying ahead of bee activity. A colony that builds inside a rental property’s eaves during the off-season can turn into a serious problem by Memorial Day if it is not caught early.

What Bee Removal Actually Involves in a River Town Like This

Because New Braunfels has so many older limestone and stone-faced homes along the historic downtown streets, colonies often settle into gaps between stone and mortar rather than just wood siding. Honey bee removal in these structures takes more care, since the goal is getting the comb and bees out without damaging original stonework — and on the rare call where it turns out to be yellow jackets or hornets in those same stone gaps, that same careful approach applies. That is a different job than removal in a typical drywall-and-siding home, and it is why homeowners searching for bee removal near me in this area want a company that has actually worked on these building types before.

What we handle

Featured Services for New Braunfels, TX Properties

Humane Honey Bee Removal and Relocation

We open the affected section of stone, stucco, or siding, extract the comb and live bees, and relocate the colony away from the residential and rental corridors near the rivers. This is live bee relocation, and it is our standard method for honey bees throughout New Braunfels.

Wasp Removal and Preventative Treatment

Covered porches and outdoor living spaces near the Comal are constant targets for paper wasps building nests under eaves. Our wasp removal service clears active nests and treats the return points that tend to attract new activity each season.

Carpenter Bee Control

Exposed wood trim on the older homes near Seguin Avenue and the historic district is a frequent carpenter bee target. Our carpenter bee control treats the galleries and flags the bare wood surfaces that keep drawing bees back.

Miner and Ground Bee Control

Sandy soil pockets near the river floodplain, especially in yards close to the Guadalupe, are common ground bee nesting sites in early spring. Our ground bee control treats the nest entrances directly with minimal disturbance to surrounding landscaping.

Local, not generic

Why New Braunfels Homeowners Trust Keith’s Bee Service for Bee Removal

"You get a lot more activity in stone gaps out here than we see in Austin or San Antonio, mostly because the old limestone construction along the river has so many natural cavities already built in. It’s basically pre-made housing for a swarm."

— a Keith's Bee Service technician, after a job near Gruene

River corridor properties bring their own quirks. Recognizing that pattern and knowing where to look first saves time and keeps the job from turning into unnecessary demolition. Keith's Bee Service is A+ accredited with the Better Business Bureau, and our reviews from New Braunfels homeowners reflect the same care on every job.

The professional difference

What Makes a Professional Bee Removal Specialist Different Here

A general pest control technician might not think twice about spraying a gap in old stone construction, but that approach can drive bees deeper into a cavity instead of out. A bee removal specialist familiar with New Braunfels architecture knows to locate the full extent of the comb first, which usually means non-invasive detection before any part of the wall or stonework is opened.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bee Removal in New Braunfels, TX

Do bees settle into stone homes in New Braunfels differently than typical houses?

Yes. Older limestone and stone-faced construction near downtown has natural gaps and cavities that bees find appealing, which means the comb can be built in less predictable locations than in a standard wood-frame home.

Is bee removal more expensive on historic stone homes in New Braunfels?

It can take more time due to the care required to protect original stonework, but we provide a firm quote after inspection rather than charging extra without explanation.

Do you handle bee removal for vacation rental properties in New Braunfels?

Yes, and we understand the urgency for rental owners, since an active colony discovered mid-season can affect guest safety and bookings. We prioritize these calls when possible.

What time of year is bee activity worst in New Braunfels?

Spring and early summer see the most swarm activity as colonies split and scout bees search for new locations, which lines up with the start of the tourist season here.

Do you relocate bees found near the Comal or Guadalupe rivers?

Yes, live bee relocation is our default method for honey bee colonies, and we transport them away from residential and recreational areas along both rivers.

How do I know if I have a wasp nest or a bee colony on my New Braunfels property?

Wasps build open, paper-like nests visible under eaves or overhangs, while honey bees typically enter through a small gap and build comb hidden inside a wall or cavity. We identify the species on arrival.

Are you familiar with the older limestone construction in downtown New Braunfels?

Yes, our technicians have worked on this building type extensively and know how to access hidden colonies without unnecessary damage to original stonework.
