Mann Lake Bee & Ag Supply is the leader in quality manufacturing, innovation, and customer service in the beekeeping industry. Whether you are just starting out in the world of beekeeping or running a full-scale commercial beekeeping business, we have all of the top-of-the-line products and services you require. Mann Lake Bee & Ag Supply was founded by Jack and Betty Thomas in 1983 because they couldn't find the quality beekeeping supplies they needed for their own beekeeping hobby. They began selling supplies out of their garage but quickly discovered that many other beekeepers were underserved as well. Realizing the need was bigger than their garage, they moved the business from their home to downtown Hackensack, Minnesota. Since then, they have expanded to California, Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida, and Kentucky (formerly Kelley Beekeeping). We’ve also branched out into the exciting world of poultry to provide you both with the knowledge and products of both the birds and the bees! Mann Lake acquired Stromberg’s Chicks & Gamebirds to offer the latest and greatest birds, poultry products and feeds on the market today. Stromberg’s is also a Minnesota based company with a history expanding 100 years! Mann Lake is at the forefront of the ever-changing beekeeping industry. Throughout the challenges that have arisen, Mann Lake has met them head-on to ensure the survival of the honey bee for all. Regardless of the number of hives you keep, Mann Lake has the same goal in mind as you: to keep this natural pollinator flourishing. See more
United StatesOrdered honey sticks from Man Lake 2000 honey sticks that tasted so bad I was afraid to eat them. I give them out at schools that I do Bee Talks for. No way I give them to kids would be afraid they would get sick. They would not give a refund was willing to ship them back.
United StatesI've been a Mann Lake customer for about 10 years and at times I'm not real happy with their quality control. Especially with their wooden ware stuff that I think they manufacture themselves. It was stuff like box joints that weren't cut straight or broken frames, foundation with no wax coatings and so on. But if I complain about it, they take care of me and just now, I called customer service. Not to belly ache but just had a question about my order and talked to one of the nicest, most helpful service reps I've dealt with. Good kid! Their heart is in the right place even if their saw is not always set up right.
United StatesI dont understand the negative reviews here, I have had nothing but a great experience, fast shipping, no issues at all.
United StatesI ordered bees on April 28th to be shipped out May 10th. They were shipped the correct day according to the post office. However the email I received said they didn’t ship until the 12th. Fast forward to May 15th, I do not have bees. Nobody knows where they are. Mann Lake says they pay for tracking but the postal service rarely uses it because they are “afraid” of the bees. So the tracking numbers they provide are absolutely NO USE! UPDATE….My bees did arrive 6 days after shipping date, and yes, over half the bees were dead. However, Mann Lake did fully refund me w no hassle. I’d probably order from them again if they had more bees, but they don’t. Thanks Mann Lake! 🤩🤩
