I have found that Permadent runs a little less expensive than Plasticell. This year Mann-Lake is selling something called "RiteCell" in place of Permadent. Anybody out there have any experience with it? >Who's got the lowest wholesale prices for plasticell? >Looking for 8 3/8" @ approx 80 cents > 5 1/5 @ approx 70 cents I have found that Lapp Bee Supply @ 800-321-1960 has the best price on Permadent, $.74 per 8 1/2"sheet in lots of 100. If you're looking for the best deal on Pierco frames, try Glorybee @ 800-465-7923, price per frame $1.72. I have found their price per frame as much as a dollar lower per frame when buying less than 72 at a time. Ted Wout, 3rd year beekeeper, 8 hives, adding 4 this spring Red Oak, TX
