HOW WE STARTED
Jack and Betty Thomas started Mann Lake Ltd. in 1983 when they found themselves in need of quality beekeeping supplies but struggled to find a reliable supplier. They began selling supplies out of their garage, from their home on Mann Lake, and quickly found that the need was greater than what they realized. The business was moved to the small town of Hackensack, Minnesota.
HOW WE'VE GROWN
As Mann Lake has grown, we’ve expanded across the country adding locations to better serve our customers. California was the first addition, followed by Pennsylvania, Texas then Florida. The Mann Lake family also grew with the addition of Kelley Beekeeping out of Kentucky. We are proud to offer not only another location for Mann Lake customers to shop but to include the great traditions and products developed by Kelley Beekeeping into our culture.
HOW WE LOOK FORWARD
Our team is a group of innovative, problem solving, creative thinkers focused on providing the industry with quality products designed with practical beekeeping in mind. We can do this, because we not only work in the beekeeping industry, but we are beekeepers! Many of our sales and production team members keep bees and we know the challenges facing the industry. We keep our focus on the horizon and are ready to adapt to new challenges in beekeeping.
HOW WE GIVE BACK
We believe in giving back to our beekeeping community! Mann Lake is pleased to partner with organizations at the local and national level to help further growth in the industry and promote the general welfare of all beekeepers. We also are proud to partner with Greater Good Charities at the international level to provide disaster relief for honeybees and beekeepers.
