Ive found that there isnt much difference in cost between the major suppliers. Some things will be a couple of bucks cheaper than others but for the most part not a huge significance to the hobbiest beek. Shipping is the biggest cost difference. Find somewhere close to order from.

You can always look in the bee mag like American Bee Journal or Bee Culture and see all the suppliers to check on prices, but always remember shipping costs.   Some may be cheaper to buy, but shipping from Montana to Georgia will be outrageous.  Homemade equipment can be cheaper.

The prices seem to be in line for small quantities...actually seem to be a decent deal.

If you can hold off till Dec. a couple usually have free shipping. Dadant and Brushy did last year East of the Mississippi.
