passageway horizontally in the super. The super for 
square bee-way sections with section holders (Fig. 130) 
is used perhaps more 
generally than any other. 
The sections are not pro¬ 
tected at the top and the 
communication between 
sections is the same as in 
the T-super. For plain 
sections, the super cor¬ 
responding to the one 
just described is shown 
in Fig. 131 and for tall sections (4 by 5 inches) the corre¬ 
sponding type is repre¬ 
sented in Fig. 132. In the 
two last named, cleated 
fences are used to provide 
passage for the bees ver¬ 
tically and there is little 
opportunity for horizontal 
passage. To provide pro- Fig. 132. — Super for tall plain sections, 
tection for the top of the 
sections a wide frame is sometimes used, and in the illus¬ 
tration (Fig. 133) this is shown in combination with 
shallow extracting combs 
at the sides devised for the 
purpose of inducing the 
bees to begin work in the 
supers quickly. The mod¬ 
ern wide frame is a rever¬ 
sion to the type formerly 
much used, except that 
the older types (often 
for eight sections, Fig. 
134) had a tin separator 
tacked to one side of the frame and bee-way sections 
were used.
