About Creekside Hives
Creekside Hives provides professional beekeeping services throughout Austin and Central Texas, specializing in humane live bee removal, agricultural bee management, and hands-on beekeeper coaching. Run by an experienced Central Texas beekeeper, the business works with homeowners, ranches, businesses, and property managers across Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties.
The company offers four main service lines: live bee removal and hive relocation, agricultural bee exemption services to help landowners qualify for property tax savings, beginner-to-advanced beekeeping education, and expert-led educational hive tours. All beekeeping is managed without miticides or insecticides, which allows the hives to produce chemical-free honey, propolis, and beeswax for human consumption.
Every removal prioritizes colony relocation alongside property protection, recognizing honeybees as essential pollinators for local ecosystems. The company serves aspiring beekeepers from first-time hobbyists to established landowners and homesteaders looking to establish sustainable practices.

Questions people ask
What areas does Creekside Hives serve?
The business serves homeowners and landowners throughout Central Texas, including Austin, Dripping Springs, Georgetown, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Liberty Hill, Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, Wimberley, and surrounding communities in Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties.
Why is beekeeping good for an ag exemption?
Honeybee hives have become a popular agricultural exemption option for smaller Texas properties because they require less space and infrastructure than livestock, create minimal disruption, and may qualify properties for agricultural valuation tax benefits while supporting local pollinator ecosystems.
How do I know if my bees are healthy?
Creekside Hives' coaching covers hive inspections and bee behavior recognition, including healthy brood patterns, queen health signs, and seasonal management. The business provides personalized support to help beekeepers understand what their colonies need throughout the year.
What makes chemical-free beekeeping different?
Without miticides and insecticides, hives can produce honey, wax, propolis, and other bee products safe for human consumption. Creekside Hives uses this approach to create natural products while maintaining healthy colonies adapted to Texas conditions.
Do you remove bees humanely?
Yes. Creekside Hives specializes in live removal methods, safely relocating honeybee colonies whenever possible rather than exterminating them. This protects the property from honey, wax, and structural damage while preserving the bee population.
