and the Fort Bend County Beekeepers Assc. There is nothing about honeybees that surprises us, and with our guaranteed pricing,
there will be nothing that surprises you.
So, what is a typical honeybee hive removal? First, what is a honeybee
hive?
- Honeybees are a complex social insect. A
typical colony consists of any amount between 10,000 to 75,000 bees. Having one queen, hundreds of drones (males), and thousands
and thousands of workerbees, a colony incorporates a network of tasks, communication, and purposes. Knowing a honeybee hive
is half the battle in determining where the colony may be in your home and what the best course of action would be needed
to remove the colony.
- Every spring and sometimes in the fall, a healthy colony of bees will swarm. The
queen will abscond with about half of the workerbees (typically 12,000 bees) and will attempt to find a suitable shelter in
which to build their hive in. The parent colony will rear a new queen and continue on with their lives.
- Honeybees natural habitat
are tree hollows, but any shelter will do. A void or cavity in a building wall will do nicely for the bees, so they commonly
build their hive in that space. After the swarm moves in, the bees immediately begin building honeycomb for the queen to start
laying eggs.
- Honeycomb is “manufactured” by the bees using glands on their underbelly
to produce beeswax. Beeswax is produced in little flakes that are manipulated by the workers into hexagonal shapes to store
honey, pollen, and the queen’s eggs. Honeycomb is always built into layered, vertical sheets about 5/8th ‘s of
an inch apart. The size and shape of the cavity will determine the amount and size of the sheets of honeycomb.
- Beeswax is a complex
mixture of lipids and hydrocarbons with over 300 individual chemical components. Beeswax is a soluble and porous material
and can hold moisture for years.
- Honey is dehydrated floral nectar. Bees travel to tens of
thousands of different floral sources to collect nectar and store honey. The bees turn nectar into honey is so it will keep
during the winter. In fact, honey does not spoil (it can ferment, however). Honey found in Egyptian tombs was discovered to
be still edible. Although the bees have dehydrated the nectar into honey, honey contains up to 18% moisture.
When
you have bees move into your home, the problem becomes the honeycomb in the walls of your home. It may sound strange, but
the bees are inconsequential. It is really the honeycomb in your wall that will cause problems later on. The porous beeswax
and honey will act as a sponge in your wall. In our humid climate, that retention could cause a multitude of problems including
mold, mildew, and at the least, more bees moving into your home. Removing the whole colony is
the best thing to do.
Do not let pest control companies fool you. Only applying insecticide will
not solve your problem. Even if the exterminator is successful in killing the bees, the honeycomb will be left behind. Finding the honeycomb
after the bees are dead is far more difficult and may result in otherwise unnecessary "exploratory surgery” on
your home. What do we do? We physically remove the beehive!!
- We remove the hive entirely
- the bees, beeswax, honeycomb, and other hive materials. In order to do that, we must gain access to the hive and that
usually involves removing buiding material. Trim boards, siding, usually something of that nature is involved.
After we've gained access, we remove the hive completely and take it with us that way WE KNOW THEY'RE GONE!!
But
what about the hole in your wall?- We don't want to leave you with a hole in your house - that's why we try to take
off the building material in such a manner as to allow us to put it back together again. Depending on the condition
of the material and where the hive is located, we are usually successful at patching your house back together. It usually
takes only a few minutes to tack the material back up there... and we're already on a ladder with a hammer in our hands...
so why not? This is offered as a courtesy as we cannot guarantee the reconstruction.
At Bayou City Bees,
we are not afraid of honeybees (or other insects for that matter) and we will remove the colony as a whole, right there on
the spot; locating and removing the problem all at one go. The process usually takes an hour to 3 hours but can sometimes
take longer. (as a result, we don't want to run out of daylight so we typically schedule work between the hours of 8am and
2pm) Because we remove the colony as a whole, we can usually give a one-year guarantee. Most pest control
companies will only give you a sixty day guarantee if one at all. Trust us, we know your problem.
At
Bayou City Bees, a typical bee removal will cost $375.00. If the bees are in a tree, the fee will be less than $175.00.
One thing is for certain at BCB, there are no surprises. What we quote you is what you will be charged. Unfortunately, we
are additionaly required to collect a sales tax of .0825%. We are confident that you will be satisfied with the results.
We strive to be punctual, courteous, and professional. We are fully licensed and insured. Thank you for taking the time
to read through our website. You can visit our other pages here with a little bio about us, and the online services page explaining how we handle credit card payments, and if you have any questions,
