Subject: [NAFEX] Looking for used beekeeping equipment

I don't agree with Ernest about used beekeeping equipment being possibly
fatal to your bees. I belong to the North Central Beekeepers Association
and most of us have some or more used equipment.
Really, though, you should be looking locally because drawn honeycomb is
relatively fragile and may not survive a shipment intact. Contact your
local land grant university and ask their entomologist for contact
information of a beekeepers association near you; I'd bet there is one and
that would be the best place to ask for used equipment. If you strike out
there, ask either of these two beekeeping supply companies: www.dadant.com
or www.mannlakeltd.com .
