Our Core Operational Pillars
Whether you need zero-effort property tax valuation, expert labor for your boutique apiary, or humane removal of defensive colonies, Scheel Apiaries delivers experienced field stewardship.
Turnkey 1-D-1 Ag Exemption Lease
Achieve substantial property tax savings under Chapter 23 of the Texas Tax Code without the capital expense of buying hives or the danger of handling bees. We supply, maintain, and certify the colonies; you receive a signed CAD documentation binder and 6 lbs of raw local honey annually.
Estate Apiary Management
Designed for landowners who own their hives, bottle their own private reserve honey, and meet county tax thresholds. We deliver 8 to 14 scheduled visits per year, covering spring buildup, swarm prevention, disease therapy, and mechanical honey extraction. Includes complimentary Split Buffer hives.
Live Removals & Cutouts
100% live honey bee rescue and extraction from water meter boxes, wall cavities, and utility housings. We never use poisons or extermination sprays. Serving residential landowners, commercial general contractors, and utility repair crews throughout Walker County.
