I have only ever encountered one employee at this location who is almost always consistently rude, but I never let her discourage me from shopping at one of my favorite stores in the mall. Their layout is great and their store is always clean and extremely tidy. They know how to make customers feel welcome and it's obvious they mostly all love working there. I will continue to shop this location as often as I can, and I will recommend it often as well! Keep doing what you do B&BW! You girls rule!! Except you, crabby girl, take a nap!!

I'm beyond disappointed with my experience purchasing a nuc from Mann Lake…read more After waiting months for delivery, I had to drive out for pickup only to find the entire process completely disorganized. There was a long line of cars, and it was clear they were not prepared at all for the volume of customers they scheduled. No structure, no communication--just chaos. They even had their hundreds of sales orders organized alphabetically . . . by first name! What made it worse was that the nuc was selected for me, with no opportunity to inspect it before loading it up. That alone should have been a red flag. But the real issue didn't show up until I got home--an hour and a half later--and transferred the frames into my hive. What I found was honestly shocking. Instead of a healthy, active colony, there were maybe a couple dozen bees total. Not hundreds. Not even close. A couple dozen. Upon inspecting the frames: * No eggs * A queen present, but clearly not laying * Very few drones * Minimal activity overall This is not a viable nuc by any reasonable standard. At best, it's severely compromised. At worst, it's a complete failure. To make matters worse, I reached out for support--twice via email to their beekeeper support address--and over the course of two and a half weeks, received no response. I then tried calling the local number, only to find it was disconnected. I ultimately had to track down a corporate phone number just to get someone's attention. After that, I was finally connected to someone at the Kentucky office via email. Their first response Was: "Would I like a replacement?" No. I'm not driving over an hour back there and another hour back to Bowling Green to roll the dice again on something that should have been right the first time. I requested a refund, which they have agreed to--but that doesn't undo the time, effort, and complete lack of confidence this experience created. I've noticed a steady decline over the past few years since the original local operation was absorbed into the larger Mann Lake corporate structure. Unfortunately, this experience confirms that concern. I will not be ordering from Mann Lake again. Going forward, I'll be supporting local beekeepers--where you can actually see what you're getting, talk to the person raising the bees, and have confidence in the quality.
