Africanized Honey Bee Control in Stone Oak, TX
Short version: if there's a africanized honey bee nest on your property in Stone Oak, we can get out there and take care of it — usually same-day, sometimes next morning if the call comes in late. Longer version is on this page. We'll walk through how to tell it's actually africanized honey bee you're looking at (about a third of our africanized honey bee calls turn out to be a look-alike), what's making it show up on your property right now, and what we'll do when we get there.
Why africanized honey bee matters in Stone Oak #
Why africanized honey bee shows up the way it does in Stone Oak specifically — as opposed to, say, Dallas or the coast — comes down to the ground, the trees, and what people have built on top of both.
In the Boerne, Comfort, Fredericksburg, and Kerrville areas, we often find stinging insects in old barns, stone ranch house walls, pole building soffits, and abandoned deer blinds. Over in Stone Oak, Fair Oaks Ranch, and along the 281 corridor, the most common spots are wall voids behind limestone veneer, chimney returns, and water meter boxes. Throughout the entire corridor, ground-level cavities like tree root holes, utility pedestals, compost bins, and debris piles are where I've seen Africanized colonies show up—places that European bees usually wouldn’t bother with.

How we treat africanized honey bee in Stone Oak #
What we actually do on a africanized honey bee job in Stone Oak depends on three things: where the nest is, how old the building is, and what the family situation looks like. Ground nest on a lot with young kids and a dog gets treated very differently than an aerial nest in an empty guest house. We'll talk that through on site.
