Beekeeper-founded Lorob Bees LLC makes hive-treatment equipment and other beekeeping tools, with its InstantVap oxalic-acid vaporizers at the center of the business. The company designs and builds molds stateside, runs injection-molding production in-house, and manufactures products such as the Speed Mark queen-marking tool and billet-aluminum hive adapters in the USA. Its hands-on service operation includes a two-year warranty and typically turns around InstantVap repairs within one to two business days.
