A Hive of Disappointment: My Experience with Bastin Honey Bee Farm

I'm still fuming about my recent purchase from Bastin Honey Bee Farm. As a novice beekeeper, I thought I'd found a trusted partner in this family-owned business. Boy, was I wrong. The package bees I received were Healthy, but the equipment I bought was subpar. The hive stand I purchased was flimsy and poorly constructed, and the protective suit had a weird smell that made me question its quality. When I tried to contact their customer service, I was met with a dismissive attitude and a clear lack of interest in addressing my concerns. For a company that claims to prioritize education and community support, I found their response to be woefully inadequate. The classes they offer seem to be more of a sales pitch than a genuine attempt to educate, and their mobile store is just a fancy van with overpriced goodies. I've since taken my business (and my bees) elsewhere. If you're a serious beekeeper looking for quality products and genuine expertise, keep looking. Bastin Honey Bee Farm is all buzz and no substance.
