Protect Your Property, Support Pollinators, and Enjoy the Benefits – Services Tailored for Central Texas Landowners

Hive Leasing / Pollinator Leasing

We offer professional hive leasing (also known as pollinator leasing) tailored for Central Texas landowners seeking to qualify for or maintain their agricultural (AG) exemption. We place and manage healthy honey bee colonies on your property—meeting Caldwell County requirements—while you enjoy the tax benefits, improved pollination for gardens/crops, and the satisfaction of supporting local ecosystems. No hands-on work required from you; we handle setup, maintenance, inspections, and compliance documentation.

  • Properties typically need 5–20 acres (excluding homesite) to qualify for AG exemption via beekeeping. Caldwell County requires at least 6 healthy colonies for the first 5 acres, with additional hives scaled by acreage (e.g., 7 for ~6.5–8 acres, up to 15 for 18.5–20 acres). Hives must stay on-site for at least 8 months/year and be maintained alive.

  • Significant property tax savings (often thousands annually), enhanced pollination for any gardens/crops/land, no effort on your part.

  • Free consultation to assess your property, custom hive placement plan, full management (setup, inspections, compliance docs for your appraisal district application), and ongoing support.

Ethical Bee Removals

We provide humane, live bee removals and relocations in Caldwell County and expanding to neighboring counties (Travis, Bastrop, Hays, Guadalupe, Fayette, and Gonzales—approval pending shortly). We safely remove bees without harm, relocate them to thriving apiaries, and prioritize saving colonies over extermination.

  • Swarm captures (easy-access outdoor clusters): Always free.
  • Structural/established hive removals (walls, attics, roofs, etc.): Free in most cases to support bee conservation and community needs—complex jobs quoted transparently (often $0, with rare small fees for extreme access/risk).

Notes: Includes extraction, basic cleanup, and entry sealing where feasible. We don’t handle drywall, repairs, or painting—happy to refer local pros. Registered/insured with TAIS for statewide compliance.

Serving Central Texas growing areas—text/call for fast, free assessment (photos help!).
