Meet Shel

Shel started Shel's Honey Bees in 2018, bringing together a lifelong passion for nature with the discipline and dedication instilled during his years of military service.

What began as a single hive has grown into a full beekeeping operation offering live bee removals, pollination services, and a range of bee products across the DFW metroplex.

Shel believes in sustainable, humane beekeeping — every bee we remove is relocated to thrive in our apiaries, never exterminated. It's this commitment to doing right by the bees and our community that drives everything we do.

Our Values

Save the Bees

Every removal is a live removal. We relocate bees to our apiaries where they continue to pollinate and produce honey.

Service & Integrity

As a veteran-owned business, we bring military-grade discipline and honesty to every job. Your trust means everything.

Quality Products

From our raw honey to our queens, everything we offer comes from our own well-managed colonies. Never mass-produced.
