As of June first their deep hive bodies are $7.25 each. Frames are $.58 each.
I ordered 20 of them and 200 frames. Shipping from away up yonder to down here is $103.56.

These are budget grade boxes and I don't know how good they will be. I don't know how long this sale will last but they were only $8.00 each before the sale.

Jerrymac!

    Have you used them yet?  At the moment I'm on a tight budget and will be checking out any ECONOMICAL, cheap is exactly that; cheap, equipment I can get my paws on.  I wondered about those myself.

I ordered twenty and got half of them put together. Using some of them right now.

The ones I got are fine. I checked out every board. There are a few that are slightly warped, but not as bad as some of the wood I have bought and made hive bodies from.
