Glad to hear you're getting back into beekeeping. Beekeeping has changed alot in the
last twelve years. I had the same problem you are having when I got back into
beekeeping a few years ago after having been away from it for 15 or more years. I have a
couple lists of suppliers for both bees and equipment at:

I'm assuming you are in the USA.
