Fig. 128. ââ Comparison of tall and square sections of equal capacity. 4j inches square, while the plain sections are of the same dimensions, or 4 by 5, 3f by 5 or 4J by 4f. The con- struction of these sections and the methods of spacing are shown by illustrations (Figs. 125, 126 and 127). The advantages of the bee- 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. Fig. 129. â 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.
