This is the same super we have sold for years, only it is adapted to receive the new fences and plain sections. These latter are 4% inches square and iy2 inches wide, and this width will hold just as much honey exactly as the old two-bee-way sec- tion, 1%-inch. The fence is made up of four horizontal slats % inch wide, 1-12 of an inch thick, and long enough to reach into grooves in the end cleats. Six cleats 2-12 of an inch thick, and % inch wide, including the end cleats, are glued on at our factory by auto- matic machinery, much more cheaply and accu- rately than it can be done by hand. The cleats, it will be observed, do not reach quite to the top of the fence. The object of dropping them down thus is to give the bees passageways around the corners of the sections, thus doing away, to a considerable extent, with holes in the corners of the sections. The section-holders are the same width as the sections (1% inches), and, like them, have no bee- ways or awkward scorings in the bottom-bars. The ends are only % inch thick (instead of 9-16, as were the old ones), leaving a bee-space between them and the end of the super. To prevent end play, a wedge-shaped strip at the bottom secures the holders to the proper position. Instead of making use of a follower we use a fence on each outside row of sections, thus in a measure carrying out the Pettit system of pro- ducing comb honey, the special feature of which consists in having the outside rows of sections as well filled out as those in the center. When the last fence is in, the whole is wedged up with a thin, wide strip.
