The Bee Wrangler:
A swarm of bees moved into the wall of our house and since they are slowly vanishing, I could not have them killed. It took the bee wrangler 4 hours to remove and collect the hive. Those, 30000-50000, bees now live in Alvin, TX, near Jennifer's home. It is not every day you save that many lives and get 20 lbs of honey in the process. A fascinating day, with an amazing lady, who has dedicated her life to Bees. Call her if you need Bees relocated around Houston, TX.
Don't use an exterminator!
