Anywhere within an hour or two of Rome, GA where I can go get some medium frames?!?!?!

Did a walk away split the other day, which I am sure cursed (blessed me) into;
1 swarm moving into a bait hive (not a box, needs to go into a box)
2 swarms boxed with frames
1 swarm boxed in an empty box
All within two days!!!!

Needless to say, I was ready with boxes, but just ran out of frames, so unless I'm gonna box these two guys up without frames I need some TOMORROW!!!!!

Please let me know if anyone knows of anyplace in NW georgia or possible NE Alabama where I can drive and grab about 40-50 medium frames!!!!

Thanks!!  (only mildly panicking)

OK, just boxed the third swarm within the past 24 hours.  They are housed in a single medium with frames, only one drawn, hopefuly they'll stay.

Currently looking at three boxed swarms, one is in a deep, one is in two mediums, one is only in a medium.  Still have the bait hive with the big swarm to deal with (assuming they are truly moving into the bait hive, the scouts are on the entrance 4 and 5 at a time right now, who know how many are in there).

Boy, I hope all these didn't throw off my hives (though I know at least one did, and would expect that the other two probably did as well) . . . I was looking forward to a good harvest this year!!!

Beeyond Wonderful in McDonough in one place you might call.   Rossmans in a little farther south than you might want to travel.

There is a bee supply store in Lafayette. I had one of their catalogs but I seem to have misplace it.

PN Williams in Forest Park (just south of the Atlanta airport) carries frames.  He would be about an hour and 45 minute drive for you.  Rossman's is way south - almost four hours south of Atlanta.  But Rome is about an hour from here and I can get to PN's house in about 30 minutes from my house on Atlanta's northside.  Here's his contact info:

404) 366-6404  And here's the GA Beekeeper's Association page of people who sell beekeeping supplies:

May not help you now, but Pigeon Mountain trading company in Lafayette as stated above has all kinds of supplies.  Everything you need in bee supplies.  You need to check them out.  Tell David Reed that Mark in Chattanooga sent you.  He is the new president of the Northwest beekeepers assoc. I think.
