On page 803 (1902), on "Brushing Bees From Combs," Editor Hill gives Mr. Poppleton's plan of getting ahead of the dodgers when clearing extracting combs of bees, with strong feathers. I think the Pickard homemade bee brush away ahead of the stout feathers. The general procedure is about the same. Instead of resting- the comb on the frames, I take the combs by the upper corner and hold it in front of the hive and with a down- ward stroke of the brush throw the bees down in the grass. I then treat the other side the same, then brush both sides with a quick motion, something like whetting a scythe. In the meantime my assist- ant gets another comb loose and gives it a shake or two, dislodging most of the bees, then passes it to me, and I dispatch the dodgers in short order.
