Ian, by the time you convert your Canadian "dollar" to US and pay duty
(fees?), cost could be quite expensive.
There are two beekeeping suppliers on this list(Canadian). Phone and fax
numbers included...in fact, you might want to call several suppliers and ask
for their catalog..best way to compare prices.
So far as keeping your equipment dry and "clean"..did you ever think about
using roof shingles and cinder blocks to elevate your hives? Just a
thought..
