Mann Lake Ltd. Acquired by Coalition of Families

On March 21, 2025, Mann Lake Bee and Ag Supply, the world’s largest beekeeping supply company, was acquired by a group of families who share the company’s vision to be the premiere resource to North American beekeepers and backyard chicken farmers. The families include the owners of a sustainable farming business, an olive farmer, and beekeepers.

Mann Lake’s transition to family ownership enables it to focus on its long-term growth and development without the pressures associated with institutional investors. The company is now debt-free and has access to significant capital that will enable it to pursue its vision of providing the best products to its customers while also supporting them with the knowledge they need to succeed.

Mann Lake’s Director of Marketing Jenna Prososki said, “Mann Lake was started as a family-owned business in 1983, and it’s incredibly exciting for us to return to those roots. We love bees, beekeeping and backyard farming generally, and now have that passion not only amongst our employees, but also with our board members and owners.”
