Their prices are a tad bit better than most other Beekeeping Equipment companies, I only wish they would go back to free shipping to any product(s) over $99.00, because with beekeeping equipment, that... See more

As a first-time beekeeper, I went with Brushy Mountain because of their reputation with other beekeepers I know. They did not disappoint. All of my supplies arrived as they were able to ship them. A c... See more

Getting Customer Service Support A Chore

Getting customer service support for a recently purchased Hive Scale was difficult. Never got to speak to a live person — even after multiple calls. Emails were not returned. To start, there was a significant time delay between ordering the product online and actually receiving it. Once received, the installation instructions included with the product were for a previous version of the hive scale, and didn’t include instructions for using iOS devices to read the scale. The Hive Scale itself was shipped with an outdated firmware version which added to the confusion and difficulty troubleshooting. Ultimately, my installation issues with this product were solved by the SolutionBee, the product’s manufacturer.

Thank you for the review. We apologize for not reaching out sooner to troubleshoot your issue but are glad to hear that the scale is working for you now.

Good products but slow delivery

Good products but slow delivery. I'm in Deep Gap and it takes several days to receive items. Yet, i don't like driving “way up” to your store. Wish it was in town. Anyways, wish service was faster. Maybe during your peak times hire temporary staff. Or, I just need to order much earlier if I think I might need something.
Thanks

Thank you for the review. We understand the drive to our store is not ideal but it is always nice to see local beekeepers. We try to make it worthwhile with a 10% discount for in-store pick ups.

It Took a Month Before My Item Shipped

I had ordered an obervation hive. It did not ship out for four weeks! I never received any estimation of a timeframe for shipping or delivery . . . until it actually shipped. Too bad it arrived a week after the event I’d ordered it for.
Always good, quality products, but I’m always disappointed at how long their shipping takes.

My order was sent partially

My order was sent partially. After three weeks no word on the remaining order. No communication before or after order was made. All items with back order should clearly be communicated to the customer to make decisions if the item is an immediate necessity and need ordered from an alternative location

My order was missing parts

My order was missing parts. I called and they said they would send them out. I call again a week later and they were not sent yet. finally a week later I got the missing parts. It shouldn't take two weeks to fill my order of missing parts. I'm a business owner and when mistakes happen that mistake becomes top priority.

I was really impressed with my entire order. It's not that I was surprised, but I guess I just expected the products to be like every other bee supply place. I was delighted with the quality of everything I received.

I had a great experience

I had a great experience. Dre was very knowledgeable and friendly; she was very patient and kind to us because we are new to beekeeping. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone interested in beekeeping
