The nylon bristles on this one are soft enough to flex when they contact a bee — you're sweeping them off, not pushing them. Two rows of yellow bristles span the full width of a Langstroth frame, so you can clear a frame in one or two passes rather than working it edge to edge. The wooden handle is 16 inches, which gives you reach without crowding the colony, and it's wide enough that you can hold it with a gloved hand without feeling like you're pinching it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost beekeepers keep a brush in their kit for three situations: inspections when you need a frame completely clear before you put it down, installing packages or nucs when you need to move clusters of bees into a box, and harvesting honey when you want to clear frames without using chemicals. Brushing is slower than a bee blower and more hands-on than a bee escape board, but it gives you direct control and works in any situation without extra equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing worth knowing: brushing does agitate bees somewhat. Bees respond to the motion and the disruption of vibration. Keep your smoker handy and work at a steady pace rather than rushing. Most beekeepers find that brushing becomes second nature quickly, and the bees settle down within a few minutes after you close the hive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo rows of soft yellow nylon bristles — flexible enough to sweep bees without injury.
