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.

Thank you so much for your feedback, Paul! We truly appreciate your business and your positivity, and we look forward to assisting you in the future.
Great customer service. I called in and placed an order through phone, the lady was very welcoming. I placed a bigger order than usual and I got it delivered relatively quick. Everything was packed carefully and ready to use. Really smooth experience.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're glad to hear that your phone order went smoothly and that your larger order arrived quickly and well-packed. We truly appreciate your support and are happy to know the experience met your expectations. We look forward to serving you again in the future.
Mann Lake is the best. They shipped live bees and unfortunately UPS dropped the ball and killed them. They are working as hard as they can to get out a replacement. In this time of need it is nice to see them still working hard to fulfill orders when they are so short staffed. Also thank you Becky for your help, you were great!! Keep up the great work!!!!

This is one of the best companies I have ever worked with. You place an order with them and you get it within a week, Best of all place an order for over 100 dollars and it ships free. They have a great rewards program also. Twice a year you get cash back to spend online. Just sign up for 'Bee Bucks' Keep up the good work Mannlake
