PROBABLY IF YOU WOULD GIVE ROSSMAN APIARIES A CALL YOUR NEEDS COULD BE FILLED IN A
MATTER OF DAYS.  WE MAY NOT BE THE CHEAPEST BUT QUALITY STANDS OUT VERY MUCH.  ALSO OUR
EQUIPMENT IS MADE OF CYPRESS LUMBER AND IS OUTSTANDING FOR "LONG LIFE".  YOU MIGHT
CONSIDER LOOKING AT BEST PRICE INSTEAD OF CHEAPEST PRICE.  IN MANY CASES THE CHEAPEST
TURNS OUT TO BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE IN THE LONG RUN.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR GIVING US CONSIDERATION.
