Dadant & Sons
In Paris, Texas, Dadant & Sons feels less like a shop and more like a beekeeping crossroads. A family-owned outfit since the 1960s, the store draws hobbyists and seasoned pollination pros with practical know-how and a friendly, no-nonsense vibe. You’ll find the full range of gear, woodenware, frames and bottom boards, mite tabs, feeders, and a small but loyal range of honey and beeswax items, including beeswax candles and other wax goods, plus candle-making kits. You can buy in person at the Paris store or online through their website for home delivery. The staff are beekeepers themselves, quick to help newbies and veterans alike, with a track record of fast shipping and solid, friendly advice. If you’re passing through Texas and want a reliable stop for gear or wax, Dadant & Sons is a memorable checkpoint in Paris, Texas.
