Relocation first
We move the colony to a new site wherever the nest location allows access, rather than treating it.

Bumble Bee Nest Removal in Katy, TX
Bumble bees pollinate gardens, and a nest beside a doorway, patio or play area puts people in the flight path. We inspect every colony and choose relocation or treatment from its location.
Bumble bee nest removal relocates or treats a bumble bee colony nesting in a cavity, a wall void or the ground. The job costs $150 to $400 and takes one to two hours. Relocation is used wherever the nest location allows it.
When does a bumble bee nest need removing?
A bumble bee nest needs removing when it sits beside a doorway, patio, play area or path, where people disturb it daily. Bumble bees sting to defend the nest.
Bumble bee nests appear on residential property every spring. The colony lives in the ground, a wall void, a shed or a tree cavity, and it grows until late summer.
Raul The Bees Guy removes bumble bee nests across Katy and the surrounding areas. We relocate the colony wherever the nest location allows access, and we treat it only where relocation is impossible.

Questions
What do homeowners ask about bumble bee nest removal?
Bumble bees sting only when the nest is disturbed. A nest beside a doorway, patio or play area gets disturbed daily, which raises the sting risk.
Multiple stings are dangerous for anyone allergic to bee venom. An inspection confirms whether the nest needs removing.
Bumble bee removal is safe for children and pets when they stay indoors during treatment. Relocation uses no chemicals, and we relocate the colony wherever the nest allows.
Bumble bee nest removal takes one to two hours. Three factors change the time:
- Colony size
- Nest location
- Prevention work added to the visit
The inspection gives you the expected time before the work starts.
Bumble bees are larger and fuzzier than honey bees, and they build smaller colonies. The two species differ in three ways:
- Bumble bees nest in small cavities, underground or inside sheds
- Honey bees build large wax combs inside walls, trees and roofs
- Honey bees go to a beekeeper, and bumble bees are relocated or treated
The species decides the method, so we identify it before taking any action.
