A BEEKEEPER'S LEHER, DATED MAY, 1917: 



" a large dealer in the south recently told ne that many beekeepers 



are asking for cypress hives and saying that they do not want anything else. 

 This is 30 often the case that nearly all the supply dealers are now listing 

 cypress as well as 



I recently bought several hundred dollars worth of hives for my personal 

 use from a firm which has never offered anything in cypress. I insisted on 

 cypress bottoms and they had to be made especially to fill my order. I feel 

 very sure that the use of cypress for bee hives, hive bottoms and hive stands 

 will very largely increase as beekeepers learn more of the non-rot qualities 

 of the all-heart wood of this species, which should be specified in all cases. 



Trusting that the above facts may be the means of saving you many future 

 replacements, I am 



Very truly yo\rrs,"
