Premier Bee Products
I buy my frames and foundation exclusively from Premier Bee Products.
Premier manufactures their products in the United States, with facilities in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where their foundation, frames, and hive bodies are produced. That tighter manufacturing control shows up in consistency and quality — which matters when you’re building hives that need to last.
If you’re looking for dependable frames and foundation to start your first hive, this is the supplier I use in my own equipment.
