AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL 



E TO STUDY WOODS 



For the Bee Man 

 This is the Period 



''Between Hay and Grass 



While waiting for the honey-season to begin, suppose you investigate the relative values of different commercial woods. Few business 



undertakings call for more exacting care on the part of the buyer than getting the best lumber for the bee-man's use. In many respects 



bee-hive construction is like Greenhouse construction — both are most trying on the material used. 



Cypress is the only wood that "stands up" in Greenhouse work. It resists the rot influences that infest the Greenhouse. No other 



wood is so thoroughly certified for this use as is Cypress. 



If Cypress will "stand the racket" in Greenhouse construction it certainly will do the right thing by you in beekeeping. 



READ CYPRESS BOOKS 



Those who would get accurate information regarding Cypress wood and its extraordinary power to resist 

 rot influences should provide themselves with copies of the Cypress Pocket Library. There are 43 volumes, 

 each authentic and authoritative. Write us and tell us what subject you are interested in and will send you 

 the appropriate booklet. We especially suggest you write for Vol. 1, with the unabridged U. S. Govt. Rept. on 

 Cypress, "The Wood Eternal," that is a buy because it lasts so like— well, it lasts and lasts and lasts and lasts 

 and lasts.
