They are available in three different packages:

1) $19 Hive plans only for immediate digital download. After purchase, you'll receive a link in your e-mail to download the PDF. It can be printed on 8.5"x11" paper.

2) $39 Hive plans + hardware. You'll receive the digital download immediately, as well as the hardware shipped to you shortly thereafter. 

3) $89 Hive plans + hardware + top bars. Same as above, except you'll also receive 28 milled top bars. The top bars are the most difficult and dangerous part to make with basic power tools, so we highly recommend using ours.
