This kind of section continued almost up to the pres- ent, but in 1897 there was introduced a sec- tion without beeways, having plain straight edges all around. This had been used some ten or twelve years previously by various bee-keepers who found them to be in every way satisfactory. But plain sections (even width all aroimd, without beeways) necessi- tate some scheme for holding them a bee-. space apart while on the hive. Accordingly, a separator or fence was devised, having transverse cleats at regular intervals on both sides, binding the series of slats to- gether—cleats so spaced as to come opposite the uprights in the sections. This will be shown more clearly in the annexed figure. It.
