HIVES AND HIVE PARTS 69 



are induced to build nice straight combs such as 

 we see in the markets. 



ExTKACTED-HoNEY SuPER. — Extractcd- 

 honey supers are of two kinds, the deep and 

 the shallow. The author prefers the deep super 

 because it is the same size as the hivebody, and 

 serves the same purpose in an emergency. If 

 the hives and supers are of the same size, it 

 saves much needless duplication which becomes 

 necessary if different sizes are used. Fig. 9 

 shows an extracted honey hive together with 

 empty super by its side. It is in fact a two- 

 story hive. 



The shallow super is very similar excepting 

 that the frames are not so deep and the super 

 correspondingly smaller.
