Our History

Beekeeping & Honey Bees
Our Business Since 1863

Whether you’re an experienced beekeeper or a new hobbyist, we can provide you with the proper equipment and information you need to be successful. From our beginnings in a small village in eastern France where Charles Dadant first became interested in bees, to our current status as industry leaders, our commitment to quality remains unchanged.

We manufacture essential supplies, produce quality beeswax candles, and publish the American Bee Journal to support the community.
