Best Tliins to Brii«li off Bees. 



ftnery 961.— What is the best thing with 

 which to brush bees off a comb ?— Calif . 



W. 6. Larrabee — The bee-escape. 



G. M. Doolittle— I always shake the 

 bees off. 



P. H. Elwood — A Coggshall bee-brush, 

 it is said. 



Jas. A. Stone— I have always used the 

 wing feather of a turkey. 



R. L. Taylor — I use a large quill from 

 a turkey's wing, but I don't know what 

 is best. 



Wm. M. Barnum— The " Yuba (plant) 

 brush." A fine turkey-tail feather will 

 answer. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — A turkey feather is 

 good. The brushes sold for the purpose 

 are excellent. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — I prefer asparagus, 

 for if it gets sticky I can get fresh, and 

 it costs nothing. 



Ohas. Dadant i*t Son — Asparagus tops 

 or very soft vegetable brushes. Ours 

 are always home-made. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater — I use a yucca brush, 

 or whisk broom, though there may possi- 

 bly be something better. 



Eugene Secor — I don't know. I never 

 used everything. Asparagus tops are 

 the best thing in reach of me. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — A young peach 

 sprig ; next, a tuft of long grass. Ani- 

 mal substances are objectionable. 



E. France — I go to the broom-makers, 

 and have made to order, out of very fine 

 corn, a very thin brush-broom about 6 

 or 7 inches long. 



B. Taylor — A single stiff feather from 

 a turkey's wing is what I use, and I 

 know of nothing better. Bee-escapes 

 are the best for general use. 



C. H. Dibbern — I have never found 

 anything better than a small wisp broom 

 made from the green stems of blue- 

 grass, and they cost nothing, either. 



Rev. M. Mahin — About four or five 

 small heads of broom-corn tied firmly 

 together. The heads of broom-corn 

 should be quite small and of uniform 

 size. 



J. E. Pond — Anything that will brush 

 them off without injuring them. I have 

 used with success a soft broom brush, 

 and do not think anything better can be 

 found. 



Dr. C. C. Miller — If no regard is to be 

 taken of convenience or durability, a big 

 bunch of asparagus, or some kind of 

 weeds, tied together. For a brush to be 

 always ready, Coggshall's broom. 



Mrs. Jennie Atchley — I don't know 

 what is the best thing. I use a brush 

 made of corn-shucks torn to shreds and 

 tied to a flat handle or paddle, and this 

 suits me best of anything I have tried. 



H. D. Cutting — The best thing I know 

 of is a good, strong shake in the right 

 direction. If you must brush, I cannot 

 say what is best. A wing from a fowl is 

 good; a stalk of broom-corn I found a 

 help. 



J. A. Green — One of the stiff feathers 

 from a wing of a goose or turkey, with 

 about half the feathered part cut away. 

 A brush made of good hemp or sisal 

 fiber is also excellent, and for quick 

 work superior. 



Rev. Emerson T. Abbott — I do not 

 know. I have never found anything 

 that I thought was very good. However, 

 since I come to think of it, I do not 

 brush them. I just let them ivalk off 

 through an escape. 



G. W. Deraaree— I have tried nearly 

 everything, and I now use a light brush- 

 broom made of the finest broom-corn, 

 and like it best. We have a species of 

 "tongue grass" in this locality, which, 

 if cut and dried at the right stage, 

 makes the best bee-brush that I have 

 used.
