I second that. Works best with at least three people. One to remove
supers. One to blow the bees out of the super. One to load the supers on
the truck. You don't have to use Bee Go kind of stuff although that
reduces the time required to clean bees out of the super. In the Fall when
the the Bee Go stuff is less effective the leaf blower sure saves time.

And it doesn't hurt the bees.
