Recently, i was perusing the topics on Bee Houses and ran across a video of a Beekeeper who was extracting honey from the hives in his bee house. He used two rotating cylindrical brushes to remove the bees from each individual frame. The bees fell into a chamber underneath which the beekeeper then shook into a bucket that was used to empty them back into the hive.
I lost track of that Video and would be very interested if anyone has come across it or has any information on the rotating brush gizmo that he was using.
Yeah I remember that! Saturday mornings.... Mr Gadget! An automated bee brush! Really??? Mankind never ceases to amaze me! Now if they can just come up with a cheap and efficient way to store solar energy. Sorry didn't mean to sound condescending.
As sad as it is... being the absolute gadget freak that I am, I would buy it! :-D
