The length (8 inches) of these small sections is the same as the depth of theinterior of a Hoffman frame, and the depth (5f inches) is one-third the length of the Hoff-man, so that three may be fitted into the length of the Hoffman, if placed side by side and on end. The super is fitted with sections 2| inches deep by 2 inches wide—that is, one-fourth thesize of the Danzenbaker 4x5 section, and hence it may be used, if desired, in the regularDanzenbaker super as toy or sample sections (Fig. 3). These little sections, whenfilled either in the Pearl Agnes hive or the regular full-sized super, are convenient, daint
