• Texas Beekeepers Associations

• Texas County Extension Offices

It's advisable to have either a beekeeper or a pest control operator remove an established hive. Your local county extension agent can help you find such assistance. A temporary swarm (see photo at right) will move on shortly, but don't let them get established in your home or outbuildings.
