So sad. I've purchased my supplies from Brushy Mountain. In 2015 I started buying from Brushy Mountain. They were very good to work with. Very kind and helpful. So sad. I cant believe the loan company wanted the full loan amount repaid in just 5 days. Thank you for reading the report.
Yeah, I did a lot of business with them as well, it's where I bought my very first hives and had been buying from them ever since!
Thank you for taking the time to read this report. It's a shame - Brushy Mountain was a major donor to my local club's "youth program".
That really is a shame! I am sorry to hear that, hopefully you able to fill the gap with another supplier. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for sharing this information. I have been a Brushy Mountain customer during the height of my days as a beekeeper. Fabulous people to deal with. This is sad.
I always bought my supplies form them as well.
Sad 😨 I wonder what the old owners think? It's got to hurt. They sold a wonderful company and now it's no more. And all those people laid off. Sad. 😭
Yeah, you're right it is terrible! I din't have any dealing with them before Shane bought them out, but I am sure they worked hard to build the company up to what it was. At least they won't lose the property where the retail office was since they were only leasing to the business, it is a beautiful piece of property up on top of a mountain! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Very sorry to hear of this. However it seems odd that the company would borrow more than six million dollars, and even more odd that a bank would lend that much, especially when the assets are far less than the loan amount.
Yep, I guess stuff like this goes on all the time in the business world!
Sounds like Brushy Mtn cut a fat hog in the a$$ lol
That’s unfortunate. I loved their products too.
Yes it truly is. Thanks for watching and commenting! If you are looking for a new bee supply company, Blythewood Bee Company is a great company. They are a small, disabled veteran owned company that has great products and really good prices! Give them a look if you need anything. I have an affiliate link on my website www.islandhomesteader.com that will earn me a little bit to put towards future videos if you buy something through it.
Dewayne Florian to bad very good and kind sales people personally I smell polecat In a woodpile something is crooked
Dewayne Florian where is that company located
Oh my, how unfortunate and sad. I was very happy with their products...i was wondering why i hadnt received a new catelog
Yep, that's why. I was very happy with there stuff as well. If you are looking for a new supplier, please consider Bythewood Bee Company. They are a great little company, with great products and really good prices. They are a disabled veteran owned company. If you shop through the affiliate link on my website www.islandhomesteader.com I will earn a little bit to put towards future videos! Thanks for watching and commenting.
me too and I was wondering how Kelly Bees got my information! oy. I'm terribly naive.
I am shocked to hear of this supply chain disruption as usual.
That's very sad. Sell off their assets, glad they couldn't steal the rest of the property. Why wouldn't the bank re-negotiate the loan. Seems like there is more to the story.
Yeah, I don't know if we will ever know the whole story!
Dang I am getting back into beekeeping & was looking for new equipment.
Damn, Mann Lake is going to run out of supplies much faster now.
Yep, gonna have to order earlier ahead now! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I read that article. It doesn't actually say much about what happened. Seems to be related to the new CEO and private capital.
Well it doesn't give the specific reason that they defaulted on their loan but the fact that they did and the bank called their note is apparently the reason they closed down and obviously it has to do with the new president as he was the one who took the loan out to buy out the former owners and expand their equipment making facility. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for reading this. I was trying to buy more supplies and wondered why the site was down. I wonder if there is any way to buy some of the assets, I could use a few more nucs.
I don't have any idea what they are doing or have done. My guess is that they probably sold or will sell the inventory of in large blocks to other suppliers and not deal with small purchases - just my guess though. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Check with Miller Bee Supply they will have all you need. I changed to Miller after Steve retired. Brushy Mount Bee Farm went down hill after he left. Miller is taking orders for Nucs now,
brushy mountain was one of two companies that obtained supplemental distributorship from the USDA's registration of Oxalic Acid. Did anyone ever purchase oxalic acid from brushy mountain? How was it packaged? Thanks
So sad to see a bee keeping business fail, the affects are surely felt in the local community. Perhaps on the upside, who ever purchases the manufacturing equipment and supplies will be a new upstart entrepreneur fulfilling new ambitions and jobs.
I agree and I do hope somebody does purchase their equipment and start another local company, they would already have a trained work force if some of the former employees chose to work with them! Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@islandhomesteader I hear Candi (one of their salespeople) went to work for Rossman and they're opening a retail store in Wilkesboro. So Miller Bee Supply and Rossman are both in the area.
@@alhildreth5210 Nice! I will keep that in mind.
@@islandhomesteader and my wife and I resell Mann Lake in the little town of Four Oaks :)
@@alhildreth5210 thanks!
They seemed to be expanding... maybe too fast.
Yep, probably bit off more than they could chew! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Sad that they ran into hard times. One hundred + folks out of work.
Yeah, that's the biggest loss to the local community, the loss of good local jobs! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I am most sorry to hear of this action.
Alaska :(
Yeah, it was especially terrible for all the employees. And I really did like giving them my business. Thanks for watching and commenting! I hope you're not in the interior of Alaska where it has been setting record breaking cold temperatures, brrrrr!
Sounds like a banking scam.
LMAO.
Sad. I wonder what this will mean for buying OA (legally). Aren't they the only ones who had the EPA approval to sell it?
I honestly don't know that much about OA, I have been pretty treatment free so far in my beekeeping. A quick google search showed several places selling it, though again I don't know about the legality of it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I ordered some from Dandant, it came with Brushy Mt's name on the label, so other dealers must have been selling it under BM's license.
I had a 42 pound wax balance due for foundation I guess I just got screwed seems like the forest people cashed in and made out like fat cats the new guy seems to have screwed all this up
Oh man, that stinks. Yeah I'm sorry, that is definitely too bad. I assume that you have lost that, I doubt there is any way to try and recover that lost.
How sad.
Yeah, I really liked doing business with them.
Well that's great, I got a $50 good certificate for Christmas.
Oh no, I'm sorry!
Loved their products but every single order was screwed up! Wrong part, wrong jars, and was a total screw up!
That's too bad that you had that experience, I never had any problems!
Wow
Yep, I suspected it had to be something like this. Sounds like he tried to do too much too fast! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Does anyone know personal that worked at BMBF? I was watching the video on how to replace a hand crank 9 frame Motorized Conversion Kit Extractor. I called Kelly Bee who purchased their product but they do not have them and I can't find one like it anywhere. Thinking if I reached an employee that new about them they could lead me to one.
We're a Mann Lake Dealer, but I cut my teeth on Brushy equipment. I bought 20 of the 9 frame SAF extractors from Kelley after Mann Lake bought Kelley. A couple had issues, and Kelley had no replacement parts. I had remembered most everything that Brushy sold was also sold by Blue Sky Bee Supply. I was able to get replacements (at my cost) to correct the two with issues.
I had a 17 pound
wax balance for foundation exchange program. Have I just lost my wax, or is there any way I can be compensated?
I am sorry to hear that. I have no way of answering that for you but my guess would be that you have probably lost that wax.
It’s bussines things happens
Absolutely, still stinks though, especially for their employees!
This is so sad. :(
Yes it is!
Is there any kind of public auction of their assets?
Sorry, I don't have any idea. Thanks for watching and commenting.
