4j inches square, while the 
plain sections are of the same 
dimensions, or 4 by 5, 3§ by 
5 or 4| by 4§. The con¬ 
struction of these sections 
and the methods of spacing 
are shown by illustrations

The advantages of the bee- square sections of equal capacity ' 
way sections are protection of the honey by the wider 
wood and extra strength, and some markets prefer them. 
The plain sections are simpler in construction, cheaper, 
easily cleaned of propolis and more economical of space 
in packing. The tall 
plain sections give the 
impression of larger 
size when compared 
with a square section 
of equal capacity (Fig. 
Fio. 129. — T-super. 128). 
Types of supers. 
The various supers used to hold these sections differ in 
the method of support, the protection of the outside of the 
section and the degree 
of free communication 
from section to section. 
The types in most com¬ 
mon use are illustrated 
(Figs. 129, 130, 131, 132 
and 133) and little needs 
to be added by way of 
description. In the T- 
super (Fig. 129), the sections are supported by strips of tin 
(shaped like an inverted T in cross section), no protection 
being given to the sections on the top or bottom and, when 
2-bee-way sections are used, as is customary, there is no
