Live Honeybee Swarm Pick-Up in Dallas, TX – Fast, Humane & Eco-Friendly

Honeybee swarming is a natural and fascinating event that typically occurs in spring and early summer when beehives outgrow their space. As colonies expand, a newly born queen emerges, prompting a portion of the worker bees to leave the hive and follow her in search of a new home. While swarming is a sign of a healthy colony, it can become a serious concern when bees settle near residential or commercial properties—especially around trees, attics, walls, or eaves.

Why Bees Swarm (And Why It Happens in Spring)

Swarming usually takes place between March and June as temperatures rise and food becomes more abundant. This growth season causes hives to become overcrowded, triggering the production of a new queen. Once she hatches, she leaves the original hive with thousands of worker bees to establish a new colony.

While swarming bees are typically non-aggressive, their presence on your property can cause anxiety and potential risk—especially if they take up temporary residence in a populated area.

Where Do Bees Swarm?

Bees may rest in a variety of places before settling permanently. Common swarm locations include:

Tree branches
Rooflines and eaves
Attics and wall voids
Outdoor furniture and sheds

Some swarms stay for only a few hours, while others may linger for days. It’s crucial to act quickly by contacting a professional before the bees decide to build a hive.

Three days before Esther and her team of awesome roofers/beekeepers came to save us from a beehivasion I called this company in a panick, I had discovered a lot of bees and had no idea what to do. I was fortunate enough to speak with Missy, who was just awesome and knowledgeable. Fast-forward to the live removal day, the team showed up to the house promptly on time, walked us through the process, gave us a ton of information. They did an amazing job, cleaned up and patched the roof even while I was asking them tons of questions about bees. They were great, they did a great job, and what they do is great.

I don't think I have had more exceptional customer service than I had yesterday with Little Giant Beekeepers. I called as my company needed to remove a beehive on a patio. They were able to locate our account quick and even had saved detailed information about the last time we had used them. They said they would be able to come out that day and someone would call me 30 minutes before they got to the property. Jeff, (Mister. Bee Man) was so energetic and extremely nice. I showed him the location and he began working immediately. We had another location that they treated as well. He was very knowledgeable and able to communicate specific directions to me and answer any questions I had. This company all around had amazing customer service from start to finish and I would recommend them to anyone. I was emailed my invoice and Jeff came back in the office just moments later with a physical copy and additional directions. The pricing was competitive and still lower than the other 2 companies I had called. Thanks again, Jeff, you rock!

These folks are terrific! Missy, who took our call, was a wealth of information and great to talk with. The bees we'd just discovered were unusually aggressive so she scheduled us for the next day. However, we received a call later that evening and they were able to come by - so same day service! Jefferson and Manuel took care of our problem quickly and very professionally. Jefferson is a very interesting guy, funny, and really knows his business. We've used these folks before, to include removal of the hives, honey, and carpentry restoration and they've always done a great job. We highly recommend Little Giant Beekeepers - from your first frantic phone call to removal and completion, these are the people you want to take care of your bees.

When I called them I was at my wits end. I had been told by 2 different places that it would cost $700 to take care of a small new hive that was forming under my shed. Missy was very professional when I called and she didn't try to beat around the bush with me or play games. She told me exactly what they would have to do and how much it would cost. Very affordable for taking care of something that could easily become a major problem. When Jeff arrived he was very nice and professional. He wasted no time once I showed him where the problem was and got the job done very quickly. Even showed me with an Infra-red camera where the hive was building so I can remove it now that the bees are gone. They have been in this business for over 40 years and it shows. If I ever have another issue like this they will definitely be the people I call the take care of it!

We just moved into a new home and after 3 days we got a beautiful surprise! The house was full of bees and honey. As much as we love animals the bees had to go. Spoke to Missy and she was wonderful explaining everything! She sent Manuel to exterminate the bees! Manuel was on time, he was extremely professional and friendly, and explained everything to us calmly. We will have them back to remove all the honey and clean all the bee wax left. I would recommend them to anyone who has the same problem. 10/10
