Hi all,
 
I am an Argentine queen breeder.
 
I would appreciate any details about the use of paraffin to preserve
beekeeping woodenware by means of dipping hive bodies, supers, bottom
boards and lids into a hot bath of this stuff.
 
I know this is a common practice among large scale beekeeping operations in
New Zealand who avoid the time and labor consuming painting of bee
equipment.
 
I am aware that in the December 1980 issue of a magazine entitled "The New
Zealand beekeeper" there was an extensive article about this matter. Would
anyone be so kind as to fax me either a copy of this article or let me know
the fax and/or e-mail address of this bee journal?
 
Thanks for your support.
 
With best regards.
