        I ordered a bunch of stuff from Mann Lake this spring and it came
sooner than expect. I was quite satisfied.
        The cheapest prices I found for woodenware was Western Bee Supply.
I got their cheapo grade hive bodies and they seem fine. I also got their
cheapo grade frames which left a little to be desired. I'll probably get
the hive bodies again, but I'll definately go up in grade for the frames!
