Why We Rescue Unwanted Honeybees?
Because Bees Matter!
As beekeepers, we believe that rescuing unwanted honeybees is important for several reasons. Firstly, honeybees are crucial pollinators that play a vital role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. By rescuing unwanted honeybees, we are helping to ensure that these important pollinators continue to thrive. Secondly, honeybees are under threat from various environmental factors such as habitat loss and pesticide use. By rescuing unwanted honeybees, we are contributing to the conservation and preservation of these important insects. Finally, rescuing unwanted honeybees can also provide an opportunity to educate and raise awareness about the importance of bees and the role they play in our environment.
All pollinators are vital for the health of our planet and for all life on Earth. Besides being part of the vital pollinator family, honeybees provide some sweet little extras that are beneficial to us and we also enjoy. Honey for one and a host of other bee products, treatments medicine, not to mention honeybees are therapeutic. Ask a beekeeper how calming it is to work with bees.
We have to protect our pollinators and remember the saying, "For every bite, we eat 1/3 of our food is attributed to pollinators so WHEN THEY THRIVE, WE THRIVE!
Why Contact a Beekeeper?
Trying to remove a honeybee colony on your own can be a difficult process and require some skills and this is where we come in. With concern for our pollinators at heart, we aim to rescue honeybees before they are exterminated by safely and professionally removing them from your location.
This is what you should know:
Certain insecticides are illegal to kill honeybees.
You should never attempt removing a beehive yourself. This can be dangerous as bees can be defensive when protecting their hive.
Never spray honeybees with any chemicals. This can be harmful to the honeybees and dangerous to you as bees can be defensive when protecting their hive.
Don't go near a hive if you are allergic to bee stings or not sure. Bee stings can be dangerous to someone allergic to their venom and may require medical rescue and in some more serious cases could lead to death.
Exterminators are not allowed to kill honeybees in the State of Texas.
Contact a beekeeper in your local area to safely remove and relocate your honeybees. If the location is in one of the counties we serve, give us a call.
Bee Identity
We only remove honeybees so it helps to be able to identify honeybees from other bees or insects. Yellow Jackets, wasp, and hornets are not bees. There are many species of bees and insects that are mistaken for honeybees. These are some common ones to identify before contacting a beekeeper for honeybee removal.
