Bee Removal & Brush Clearing in Hempstead & Waller, TX
Hempstead is the Waller County seat, known around Texas for its watermelons and the summer Watermelon Festival. Waller sits a few miles east on US 290, next to Prairie View. Both towns are surrounded by pasture, hay fields, nurseries and small acreage, the kind of country where honeybees thrive and brush comes back every season. Farmer Brown & Co. is the Sealy family business of Henry Brown Jr. and Zanaria Brown, about 25 miles to the southwest. We bring live bee removal, hive placement, raw local honey and skid steer land work to the US 290 corridor.

Live bee removal in Hempstead, Waller & Prairie View
Bees in this area show up in all kinds of places: walls and soffits of homes in town, mobile and manufactured homes, barns, pump houses, irrigation boxes, stacked pallets, trees along fence rows, and buildings on farms and nurseries. What we do:
Swarms: collected and relocated, usually the quickest and easiest job.
Structure colonies: located, scoped in writing, and removed with bees and accessible comb.
Farm and outbuilding colonies: we recommend the method based on the structure and whether it can be opened.
When conditions allow, colonies are relocated to a managed apiary. Please don't spray them, and keep workers, pets and livestock away from the entrance until we arrive.
Farms, nurseries and other businesses: if bees are slowing down work around equipment or buildings, send photos and tell us the best time to work around your crew.
Hive placement & ag valuation in Waller County
Waller County has lots of 5- to 20-acre tracts, the range Texas allows for beekeeping under 1-d-1 open-space ag valuation. The Waller County Appraisal District decides qualification and sets the number of hives required, so start with a call to them. Then we'll build a written plan: hive placement, scheduled inspections, seasonal care and records to back up your filing. We never promise approval. Ag exemption beekeeping →

Local honey on the 290 side
Our raw Texas wildflower honey and creamed honey are made from our own hives. Order online for pickup in Sealy by arrangement, shipping, or local delivery (ask about your area). Hempstead and Waller markets, produce stands, cafés and stores can carry it wholesale. Local honey sits naturally next to local produce.
