Welcome to Mother Lode
At Mother Lode, we are driven by a passion for manufacturing and making quality products tailored to meet the needs of the everyday beekeepers. With a focus on quality, affordability, and customer satisfaction, we strive to exceed expectations in every endeavor. Our journey began 50 years ago in the heart of California Gold Country. We started with one injection molding machine and one beekeeping product - the classic division board feeder. We've been making that very same in-hive feeder since 1974 and continue to focus on making more beekeeping products right here in the United States. We are committed to innovating more American-made beekeeping supplies. Our a vision is to revolutionize the industry and push the boundaries of what's possible.
With a team of dedicated professionals at the helm, we combine expertise, creativity, and cutting-edge technology to deliver affordable products for the beekeeping industry. What sets us apart is our commitment to understanding the unique challenges in beekeeping and providing efficient solutions that address them effectively. Whether you're a hobbyist beekeeper or a commercial operation, we value you, and we're focused on helping your bees succeed.
Innovation, quality, integrity, and collaboration are the cornerstones of our approach. We believe in forging long-lasting relationships built on trust and respect.
