I started working with bees in 2016, doing bee removals when a beekeeper friend encouraged me to get into it. That business was under the name Buda Bee Wrangler.
Life happened, and I very reluctantly closed Buda Bee Wrangler. I considered giving all of my bee equipment away, but I am glad I didn't. As you may imagine, bee equipment takes up a lot of space! I ended up building a shed to store it all. As fate would have it, it worked out to be OK. Now I use that shed to store bee equipment I need for my customers.
Texas Honey Bee Farm in Austin gave me some work. I am also occasionally hired to do honey bee tours at their shop. They have anything and everything one could need for beekeeping, and very knowledgeable staff. I have learned a ton from them.
The owner of Texas Honey Bee Farm, Tanya, introduced me to Jesus Soto. He is a 25 year beekeeping veteran, botanist and entomologist who mentored me for a year. He is sort of like my bee sensei, and the person I call if I am ever stumped with something bee related. He is also sells locally raised bees, and I will be happy to put you in contact with him if you need them!My wife and I have a small apiary near Lockhart, Texas. I have a handful of regular hive management clients.
I am extremely grateful for any business that comes my way. I am cautiously optimistic, and have big hopes. We're gonna find out how it goes!
