Below are lists of beekeeping supply companies and resources. The Ann Arbor Backyard Beekeepers strongly advises against purchasing used beekeeping equipment from sources such as Craigslist® or from any other unknown source. A serious and fatal bacterial disease called American Foulbrood can live in beekeeping equipment and products for more than 80 years and still be contagious.
