Bee Removal & Land Services in Brookshire, Texas
Brookshire sits right between our home in Sealy and Katy, roughly 12 miles east of us on I-10 in Waller County. That makes it one of the closest towns we serve. It's also a town with a little bit of everything: honeybee colonies in older farmhouses and barns, swarms in pecan and oak trees, and new homes and warehouses going up along the interstate. Farmer Brown & Co., the Sealy family business of Henry Brown Jr. and Zanaria Brown, handles the bee work, the honey and the brush clearing for Brookshire and Pattison homeowners, landowners and businesses.

Honeybee removal in Brookshire
Out here, bees don't just pick houses. Colonies turn up in hay barns, deer stands, equipment sheds, old trailers, water meter boxes and hollow trees along fence lines as well as in the walls of homes in town. Whatever the colony is living in, the approach is the same:
You send photos of where the bees are going in and out, plus the address.
We figure out whether it's a swarm or an established colony and what it will take to reach it.
You get a written scope and price, so you know whether opening the structure, comb removal and closing up are included.
We remove the bees alive and relocate them to a managed apiary when conditions allow.
Don't spray. Honeybees inside a wall or barn will just leave honey and comb behind, and you may stir up a defensive colony. Keep livestock, pets and people clear of the flight path until we arrive.
Ag valuation with bees in Waller County
A lot of Brookshire-area property is in small acreage that's perfect for beekeeping under Texas 1-d-1 open-space ag valuation. State law allows bees to qualify on tracts from 5 to 20 acres. The Waller County Appraisal District sets the intensity standard (how many hives you need) and the paperwork. Call them first, then send us your acreage, access and what they told you. We'll put hive placement, inspection schedule and seasonal care into a written proposal. Only the district decides qualification. Ag exemption beekeeping →
For landowners who already keep bees, we offer hive inspections and management so colonies stay strong through our hot summers and wet springs.
Raw honey from just down I-10
Our raw Texas wildflower and creamed honey comes from hives a short drive from Brookshire. Pick up in Sealy by arrangement, order local delivery (ask about your area), or have it shipped. We also sell wholesale to stores, feed and farm stores, cafés and gift shops that want a truly local product.

Brookshire FAQs
Can you remove bees from a barn or deer stand? Yes. Send photos showing where the bees enter and what the structure is made of, and we'll recommend the right approach.
Do I need to be home for a bee removal? For structure removals we usually need access and someone to approve the scope. For a tree or outbuilding, tell us the access details and we'll discuss what works.
How many hives does Waller County require for ag valuation? The Waller County Appraisal District sets the intensity standard. Ask them for the current number for your acreage before planning hives.
Do you clear land along fence lines for new fencing? Yes. Fence-line clearing is one of our most common skid steer jobs.
