Theres a lot of different types and material, it depends on what youre looking for. All the big suppliers like Mann Lake, Dadant, Betterbee are good. If you want to buy in bulk Western Bee Supply may be better for you. If you have Amish near by they typically sell hive bodies as well.

Check with local beekeepers. They can tell you local suppliers who may be distributers of companies Apis mellifera mentioned, all good and prices are comparable. We have 2 near us and we save on shipping and sales tax as it is listed as agriculture.

I have a few. I don't use them much, but they are a great way to get a lot of feed on a colony fast.
