Raw Honey on Rustic Table
"The preparations of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the spirits. Commit your works to the Lord, And your thoughts will be established."
Proverbs 16:1-3 New King James Version

Bee Removals

Bee keeper with smoker

I love saving the bees! I safely remove and relocate bee hives from your home. I do professional work and take pride in the repairs as well. After removing the bees and comb I then seal it up to keep more from moving in! I guarantee my work. Prices vary depending on the structure where the hive is located.

I also do forced absconds from trees or other structures. Safely removing the bees and queen then seal up with no damage to the tree.

Call Melinda today to schedule your removal!

Agriculture Bees

Honey bee

I place my hives on properties and manage them myself for property owners to get ag exemptions. I lease them for the year, with a minimum of 6 hives. In most counties of Texas, a land/home owner only needs five acres and six hives to qualify for ag exemption. Currently I serve Limestone, Freestone, Leon and Navarro Counties.

I do all the work! This is cheaper than cattle or buying your own hives, AND it will save you money on your taxes!

Call Melinda today to learn more about her ag exemptions program.

Nuc Sales

Honey bee nucs

I sale 5 frame nucs. Everything included to start your own hive! Italian bees with queens grafted from my most productive, gentle, best honey makers!

Prices may vary throughout the season. For a fee I can deliver and install directly into your 10 frame hive body. This is limited to clients who are closer to my base hives.

Nuc deliveries are scheduled for spring time in order for us to provide the best crop for your needs.Place your orders now to get on the list!

Call Melinda today to purchase your own setup or to see if you are close enough for a direct install.

Pollination

Bees pollinating flowers

I lease out my hives for pollination. Pollination services from honeybees provide the backbone to ensuring our diets are diverse and plentiful with fruits, nuts, and vegetables.

Bees travel up to two (2) miles from their hive looking for flowering plants. The closer your hives are to your flowering crops, the better return on honey and a higher yeild in your crops.

The Owner

Honeycomb in a Nuc

Hi! I'm Melinda Richardson, founder of Richardson Bee Farms.

God and bees saved my life. I was an alcoholic and God delivered me from it and replaced it with a passion for bees. I’m forever grateful! My goal is to spread the gospel while repopulating the earth with honeybees. I’m an AA sponsor, a leader of Celebrate Recovery and have the hopes of reaching 1000 hives!

I hope to provide enough honeybees to farmers and ranchers to see a surge in our native production. Maybe someday, I'll even see my bees pollinating almonds in California!
