  Canon never made a macro bellows for the EOS cameras. Instead they have the EF 12 and EF 25 extension tubes, and the MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1x-5x Macro lens which is essentially a 65mm lens in a solid expanding tube "bellows".

However, one can find the old FD Auto Bellows or the even older FL Bellows. These bellows can be used on an EOS camera (using FL/FD lens) with the equally rare Canon Macro Lens Mount Converter FD-EOS. There are other third party FD-EF converters that can be used, but they have optical elements to maintain infinity focus. That is not necessary or desireable with macro, so one can simply knock out the optical elemnts of a cheap third-party converter to use it with the bellows.
