buy the time you get done with shipping and the rest you might just be better off going with lagrants up in Ware, Mass.

I have quite a bit of used equipment if you are interested. Many boxes and frames. I am interested in converting to long hives and top bar hives exclusively, so I will no longer be in need of the traditional equipment. Please call or email me if interested. Then I can do an inventory. I did have 8 hives at one point, with equipment left over. pollen traps as well. I am located in North Salem, NY (Mapquest says I live 94.4 miles from Springfield, Mass.)

You would have to move a little quickly, though, because I leave for Florida after Christmas and do not return until the middle of march.

If you are interested in new equipment, I will take a look at pricing on building all of the woodenware for you. It's a bit of a hobby of mine. I can build all of the supers, the bottom boards, the inner covers, and the outer covers without a problem.

I will say I bought my first equipment from Frank 25 years ago, It was the best equipment I ever bought, most of it still in service, he makes it all himself and the advice you will get and the questions that he will answer are well worth the price. Does anyone know if he still sells queens? thanks

[jeff123fish]

He had sold his queen rearing operation after getting lyme disease but the person he sold it to doesn't live far and Frank still uses the same queens in his nucs.
