Fig. 201. MILLEE T SUPER. 740. Mr. C. C. Miller places his sections in supers without top or bottom, three-eighths of an inch deeper than the sections. To support the sections in these boxes he nails, under both ends, a strip of tin, which projects one-fourth inch inside. Strips of tiuj bent in the form of a J. are supported across the box, by six small pieces of sheet iron nailed at regular inter- vals, under the sides of the box. The sections rest on these T ''s, and on the end strips. These supers holding 28 or 32 sections, can be piled upon one another, leaving a bee space between them. The only objection that we have ever heard offered to the T super, as the Miller super is called, is the danger of the bees propolizing the exposed parts of the sec- tion. In the supers which furnish slats for the support of the sections, there is nothing exposed but the edges of a part of each section. Otherwise the Miller plan seems to bring the sections in closer proximity to each other. But the above men-.
