Bees in Texas: When Helpful Pollinators Become a Problem
Bees are vital to our environment—but when they build hives near homes, schools, or businesses in Texas, they can pose a serious safety concern. Honey bees, carpenter bees, and even Africanized “killer” bees are all active in Texas, and they often nest in wall cavities, attics, trees, or sheds. While generally less aggressive than wasps, bees will defend their hive if they feel threatened, potentially causing painful stings and serious allergic reactions.
Texas homeowners may encounter swarms during the spring and early summer. While swarms aren’t immediately dangerous, they can quickly become permanent residents if they find a nesting site. That’s when quick and safe removal becomes essential.
