I've also heard > horror stories about Kelly hive bodies not being standard size. 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! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave D.
