Save them or remove them — it's your call

We’re a beekeeping family that loves honeybees and has been doing this for over 45 years. We save our honeybees whenever it’s possible — and when it isn’t, we tell you straight instead of selling you a live removal we can’t deliver.

Here’s every option we’ll walk you through, with a price for each, before we ever leave the shop. You pick what’s right for your home and your budget. No bait and switch.

Live Bee Removal & Relocation

When it’s possible, we extract the hive using specialized bee-vacs and transport the bees to a local apiary. The colony lives. This is our first choice whenever the situation allows it.

Turn-Key Hive-Out & Repair

Bees inside a wall, soffit, chimney, or other structure? We open the area, remove all the bees, wax, honey, and larvae, clean it, re-insulate, and put it back exactly as we found it. Nothing left behind to melt, stain, or draw pests.

Swarm Pickup

A resting swarm is the easiest and cheapest call you can make. Catch it before it builds comb inside a wall and it’s a quick, low-cost job. Don’t wait — a swarm can move in and get settled in days.

Treatment (when relocation isn't possible)

When a hive is too aggressive, in an unreachable spot, or relocation genuinely isn’t an option — treatment is the right call. We’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case and explain exactly why, before any work begins.

⏱ Why calling early saves you money

In a Texas summer, bees can build honeycomb inside a wall in about one week. Left behind after the bees are gone, that wax and honey melts in the heat — staining your walls, dripping into insulation, and drawing pests like roaches, rodents, and ants.

A swarm caught before it moves in is a quick, low-cost job. A colony that’s been in a wall for three summers is a full structural repair. Call early, spend less. We’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in when we assess — and give you the price before we start.

What bee removal costs in DFW

The honest answer: it depends on the situation. Here’s a rough guide to what drives the price — and in every case, you’ll have the exact number before we leave to come out.

Swarm pickup

Easiest & lowest cost

Bees are resting and haven't built comb. Catch them before they move in. Fastest to resolve.

Live removal / treatment

Mid-range

Colony is established. Price depends on location (wall vs. soffit vs. tree), accessibility, and colony size.

Full hive-out & repair

Most comprehensive

Bees in a wall with comb and honey present. Includes opening, removal, cleaning, insulation, and repair.

Our promise: you’ll always know the exact price before we leave to come to you. Not a range. Not an estimate that grows when we get there. The price we tell you is the price — no bait and switch.

What to do if you see a swarm

A swarm is a large group of bees — sometimes thousands — that looks like a buzzing cloud or a clump hanging from a branch. They’re a hive that outgrew its home: when a new queen hatches, she takes part of the old colony and leaves to find somewhere new.

Swarms are usually docile. They’re not defending a home yet — they’re just resting while scouts look for one. That said, they can land in unsafe spots and stay for days. If the swarm doesn’t move on promptly, call us.

Bees, wasps, or something else?

Honeybees are the ones we’re most eager to save. But not every buzzing insect is a honeybee — and the type matters for how we approach the job. Here’s a quick guide:

🐝 Honeybees

Round, fuzzy, amber-yellow and black. Build wax comb with honey. These are the ones we love and try to save. If they’re in your wall, call us early — the sooner we get there, the less structural work it takes.

🟡 Yellow Jackets

Bright yellow and black, hairless, more aggressive than honeybees. Usually nest in the ground or wall voids. Can sting multiple times. See our yellow jacket page →

🔴 Red Wasps (Paper Wasps)

Reddish-brown, long-legged, open umbrella-style nest under eaves or in shrubs. Less aggressive than yellow jackets but will sting near the nest. See our red wasp page →

🪵 Carpenter Bees

Large, shiny, resemble bumblebees. They bore into wood to nest — decks, eaves, fascia boards. Males look intimidating but can’t sting. Females can. The real damage is structural. Call us to assess.

Not sure what you’ve got? Call us — we’ll help you figure it out on the phone before we ever head out. That’s part of what 45 years looks like.

The honest answers

Do you save the bees or kill them?

Both — it depends on the situation. We save our honeybees whenever it's possible and relocate them to a local apiary. When relocation isn't possible, we tell you straight and explain why, rather than selling you a "live removal" we can't deliver. You get every option with a price for each, then you decide.

How much does bee removal cost in DFW?

It depends on the situation — a resting swarm is a very different job from a colony that's been inside a brick wall for three summers. In every case, you'll have the exact number before we leave to come out. Not a range. Not an estimate that grows when we arrive.

How fast can you come out?

Same-day, most days. Call and you'll usually talk to a real person who can size up your situation on the phone — and often get a beekeeper headed your way the same day. We have four offices across the metroplex.

Do I need a full hive removal or just treatment?

If bees are inside a wall or structure and have built comb with honey, you'll almost certainly want a hive-out — because honey and wax left inside a wall melts in a Texas summer, stains your walls, and draws pests. We'll tell you honestly which situation you're in when we assess, before anything starts.

Bees in my brick wall weep holes — what now?

It's one of the most common calls we get across Dallas. Weep holes are designed to stay open, and bees love them. Depending on how long the colony has been there, we'll walk you through whether it's a live removal, a hive-out, or both — with the price for each option before we start.

Do you work weekends?

Yes. Bees don't keep business hours. Call any day and we'll do our best to get someone out. We'll always be honest about our current same-day availability when you call.

Client Testimonials

This is a wonderful local business that REALLY knows their bees! Jefferson and Manuel came out to our house and removed a honeybee nest for us in our garage eave - they did a FANTASTIC job! Fair pricing and GREAT service...I also learned a lot about honeybees in the process. I would highly recommend using Little Giant Beekeepers &Bee Removal Specialists for your bee removal needs.

Manuel just left—and the bee removal experience was absolutely amazing! We learned so much from Manuel! He answered every question so graciously. He was wonderful!!!

Went out back just as a swarm of bees was surrounding our patio. They gathered on a brick column and entered the space under the balcony. Called Little Giant immediately. Missy was great with her response, and dispatched Manuel. He arrived within a couple of hours of my call, and was wonderful to work with. Really appreciate the quick response, knowledge and professionalism.

Jefferson was amazing! He made the bee removal a pleasant experience and he is hysterical. He had me laughing out loud many times. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this company!

Great company. Jeff came and was incredibly knowledgeable and so friendly. I felt completely assured that my bee problem would be resolved. And it was. In a very timely fashion. Great warranty and great customer service. This is the company I'll call if I ever need them again, and I'm telling all my neighbors and friends about them!

Jefferson was very knowledgeable about where the beehive was in my home. He worked hard to solve the problem and ensure that we would not have a repeat issue.

Manuel arrived within an hour of my call to Little Giant. He was courteous, professional, and competent. I was impressed with his service and would recommend him and Little Giant to anyone struggling with a bee infestation.

Mary scheduled the appointment for the same day I called and was very clear on costs and terms of service. Jeff called before arrival as Mary had stated he would. He was very professional in explaining his inspection and analysis of the situation with southern yellow jackets entering through missing grout in a brick wall. Jeff treated the area quickly while dealing with angry yellow jackets. Service was very prompt and efficient.

Manuel and Missy were great. Same day service and Manuel was the best; he removed the exposed bee hive from our tree and cleaned everything up. We highly recommend this company.

I left a message late in the afternoon at the office, and heard back from Mary almost immediately. Manuel came out the next morning and took care of the yellow jackets in our backyard. What a relief to have such capable folks to call! Both Mary and Manuel provided very detailed information about their process and what to expect. Very satisfied and highly recommend Little Giant Beekeepers!
