Some of the advantages of the beeway sections (fig. 3) are: (1) The honey is some- what less liable to injury by handling. (2) Being wider at the corners where folded, they are stronger. (3) Some markets, being ac- customed to the larger cases neces- sary to contain a given number of beeway sections, ob- ject to the smaller package containing the same number of plain sections, simply be- cause it is smaller. DIMENSIONS OF SECTIONS. Sections of various dimensions are in use by beekeepers, but the sizes in general use are the 4i inches square and th6 4 by 5 inches. Some producers prefer the 4 by 5 sections because of the more pleasing appearance of the oblong package (fig. 6). The standard widths of the 41 by 4^ inches section are 1|- inches in the beeway style and IJ inches in the plain section. The extra width in the beeway style is for the purpose of spacing and does not add to the thickness of the comb. The 4 by 5 is If or 1^ inches wide in the plain style and-not much used in the beeway style. The If width of the 4 by 5 section contains practically the same amount of honey when filled as the 503.
