Mann Lake Bee & Ag Supply

Beekeepers: don’t panic if your queen shows up DOA. Still install her. Her pheromones help prevent absconding while you wait for a replacement. When the new queen arrives, remove the old cage and install the new queen (still caged!) for a few days so the colony accepts her.

Having issues with your bees and can’t get through to us? Submit a Bee Claim within 24 hours of receiving your bees. Our team will get back to you within 3 business days. Extra calls or emails won’t speed things up, but we’re here and we’ll take care of you!
