About A-Bee Honey

A-Bee Honey operates out of Edgewood, New Mexico, a small community tucked along the I-40 corridor between Albuquerque and the Estancia Valley. This area's high desert terrain and native flowering plants make it surprisingly well-suited for local honey production. The business covers both honey products and pest control services, which is a practical combination in a region where feral bee colonies frequently take up residence in homes and outbuildings. If you're dealing with bees where they shouldn't be, or looking to source local honey, they're worth a call at (505) 286-4843.

Services & Process

A-Bee Honey handles two distinct but related service areas. On the honey side, they produce and sell local New Mexico honey sourced from hives in and around the East Mountains region. On the pest control side, they manage unwanted bee infestations in residential and commercial properties. This typically means safely removing established colonies from walls, attics, or sheds rather than simply exterminating them. Live removal is better for the bees and often the preferred approach in communities where pollinators are valued.

Service Area

A-Bee Honey primarily serves Edgewood and the surrounding East Mountains communities, including Tijeras, Moriarty, and Cedar Crest. They're also reasonably accessible to customers coming from the eastern Albuquerque metro who want a local, small-batch honey source without driving far.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you remove bees from inside my walls without tearing out drywall?
It depends on how deep the colony is and how long it's been established. In many cases, experienced removers can access colonies through existing gaps or minimal cuts. A site visit is usually needed before anyone can give you a straight answer.
Is the honey from Edgewood area bees different from store-bought honey?
Yes, noticeably so. Local high desert honey reflects the specific plants bees forage on in that area, which includes things like desert willow, chamisa, and various native wildflowers. It tends to have a more complex flavor and hasn't been heavily processed or blended with other sources.
What time of year do bees typically become a problem in homes around Edgewood?
Spring is peak swarm season in New Mexico, usually from April through June. That's when established colonies split and scouts start looking for new nesting sites, which often means your attic or wall cavity. If you notice a sudden cluster of bees or increased activity near a wall, don't wait to call.
Do you sell honey in bulk or only small retail quantities?
Local honey producers in the area often accommodate larger orders for things like gifts, cooking, or small retail use, but stock is limited by what the season produces. It's best to call ahead and ask about current availability and pricing for larger quantities.
Is it safe to have bees in my yard if they're not inside my house?
Generally yes, as long as the colony isn't in a high-traffic area and the bees aren't showing defensive behavior. Bees in a yard can actually benefit your garden through pollination. If they're in a wall, shed, or near a doorway, that's when removal becomes more urgent.
How do I know if I have honeybees versus wasps or yellow jackets?
Honeybees are rounder, fuzzier, and typically golden-brown. Wasps and yellow jackets are slender with more defined yellow and black banding. If you're seeing them enter and exit a single point consistently, it's likely an established colony rather than random activity.
