Charlie Bee Company – Working Bees, Educating Beekeepers

Charlie Bee Company was born out of a deep love for honeybees. Founder Charlie Agar discovered beekeeping in 2013 through an introductory course—similar to the one now offered at Charlie Bee. What started as a hobby quickly grew into a full-scale operation.

Today, Charlie manages hundreds of honey bee colonies across Central Texas, helping land owners qualify for Ag valuation, producing honey, and performing humane live bee removals. Unlike exterminators, Charlie and his team safely relocate wild colonies to the Charlie Bee homestead, where they are nurtured and reintegrated into managed apiaries.

More Than Just Beekeeping – Education & Community

Charlie Bee Company is a hub for beekeeping education and community engagement. At the beekeeping school and retail shop, aspiring beekeepers receive hands-on training, expert guidance, and essential equipment. The shop also serves as a gathering place for local beekeepers and offers interactive bee encounters, including suit-up experiences where visitors can observe an active hive up close.

Charlie Bee Company on National TV

And we’re on TV! Charlie Bee Company, produced with Iniosante Studios, airs nationwide on PBS affiliates. Now in its second season, the documentary-style series follows Charlie and his team as they remove wild honey bee colonies, share the wonder of pollinators, and highlight the importance of conservation.

Why Bees Matter & How Charlie Bee Company Makes a Difference

Bees are crucial pollinators, supporting one-third of the food we eat. But habitat loss, pesticide, and climate change threaten their survival. Charlie Bee Company is dedicated to mentoring new beekeepers, and raising awareness about habitat conservation and encouraging biodiversity.
