Local & Amish Vendors
Don't overlook local sources. Many areas — especially those with Amish or Mennonite communities — have small woodenware makers and beekeeping suppliers who build and sell hive bodies, frames, and other equipment locally.
Their equipment is often priced better and made to a higher quality than mass-produced gear. We encourage you to speak with other local beekeepers or check online to see whether there's an Amish vendor in your area — a quick question at a bee club or a local search can turn up excellent, well-crafted equipment close to home.
Example: Hillside Beekeeping, at 174A Means Rd, New Wilmington, PA 16142, is an incredible and robust Amish vendor carrying a comprehensive variety of supplies.
Always check reviews and do your own research before buying. These are simply common, widely-used vendors listed here for your convenience — not endorsements. Hive Yard has no affiliation with these companies and is not responsible for any issues with any vendor, including orders, payments, shipping, product quality, or customer service. Any transaction is solely between you and the vendor.
