Best Style and Size of Scction^i. 



Query 53.— What style and size of sections 

 Iplease give exiict dimensions! do you prefer 

 to use for comb honey '/— Q. 



E. France— iJix4:Jixl%. 

 Chas. Dadant & Son— 4^x1%. 

 Jas. A. Stone — 4'-4x4Mxl% inches. 

 R. L. Taylor— 4yx4»4, 7 to the foot. 



Prof. A. J. Cook— The standard 414X- 

 4^. 



P. H. Elwood — 4-piece dovetail, 4x- 

 4Kxl?<. 



G. M. Doolittle — o.'axo^^xlj^, outside 

 measure. 



Emerson T.Abbott— 4 ?4x4Kxl%, open 

 all around. 



J. M. Hambauph — I prefer the regular 

 4iix4Mxl%. 



Mrs. L. Harrison— 4}^x4Ji. They 

 hold usually an exact pound. 



J. A. Green — One-piece, open top and 

 bottom, 4}4x4j.4, 7 to the foot. 



A. F. Brown — 3%x5xlJ^ inches, bot- 

 tom and top opened full width from side 

 to side. 



Dr. A. B. Mason — 4i4x4}f four-piece, 

 but they are more expensive in more 

 ways than one. 



H. D. Cutting— It all depends upon 

 what you do with your honey ; 4J^x4j4- 

 xl% is a good size. 



C. H. Dibbern — I use the whitewood 

 4-piece dovetail section, size 4Jix4'4X- 

 1%, outside measure. 



W. G. Larrabee — Four-piece, 4 ;ix4 ^4'- 

 xlK, with top and bottom same width 

 the whole length. 



Rev. M. Mahin — I use sections .jxi.ix- 

 13^. But I am not sure but that if I 

 used another style of hive I would prefer 

 4Kx4Kx2. 



G. W. Demaree— Simply 4'4'x4;4xl;!i. 

 I would prefer a little larger section if 

 they were as handy to "tier up," but 

 they are not. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — I use mostly sec- 

 tions 4,'4x4'4 : but I can get more honey 

 from oblong sections — bee-eiitranco from 

 the lomjest side. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— I don't know. At 

 present I'm using 4Jix43ixl%, but I'm 

 ready to change if there seems sullicient 

 Inducement. Possibly 1% might be bet- 

 ter than 1%. 



Eugene Secor — I use nothing but -i'i- 

 x4'4. I prefer a 4-piece whitewood sec- 

 tion to anything I ever used. Width to 

 correspond with style of super; separa- 

 tors always for line product. 



J. E. Pond— 4^x4)4x1%. I use the 

 SImpllclty-Langstroth hive, and these 

 Bections Just nt Into the hive. I do not 

 think the style makes much difference, 

 but I should want the sections to hold 

 about 14 to 1<) ounces of honey.
