What makes Richard Siegrist with Amrit Bee Removal & Rescue a good neighbor?

A humming wall, a worried neighbor, and a choice that shapes your whole block: spray or save. We sit down with Richard Siegrist of Amrit Bee Removal & Rescue to unpack what real, no-kill bee rescue looks like—and why it often conflicts with quick, cheap extermination. Richard walks us through the four-to-six-hour live removal process so homeowners understand exactly what they’re paying for and what they’re protecting: locating brood with thermal imaging, gently vacuuming worker bees, cutting and securing comb, and safely relocating the colony.

Richard’s road to the hive wasn’t linear. Raised around a cowboy-rancher father who kept bees, he later worked as a heavy equipment operator before reinventing himself in Texas. Along the way, he led crews and even taught a five-week beekeeping course to incarcerated students. That mentorship lens still guides his mission today: respect the colony, respect the neighborhood, and leave every property safer than you found it. We also confront common myths—like the belief that bee removal should be free or is a simple DIY task—and the real risks that come when swarms meet bravado instead of training.

We cut through the marketing fog, too. Many large pest control companies advertise “bee removal” but arrive prepared to exterminate. Richard explains how to vet a true rescuer: ask where the bees will be relocated, look for proper equipment like a bee vacuum and thermal imaging tools, and expect a clear plan to repair and seal entry points. For gardeners, landowners pursuing agricultural exemptions, and families across Fort Worth, Watauga, Dallas, and Frisco, choosing humane rescue protects pollinators that sustain food systems and local ecosystems. With three out of four bites of food tied to pollination, saving a colony is more than compassion—it’s stewardship.

If you care about safe neighborhoods, thriving gardens, and honest craftsmanship, this conversation equips you to make an informed choice. Press play, learn how to spot a professional from a pretender, and share this episode with someone who might otherwise reach for a spray can.
