>>...flick an inch or so of bees off with 
each short stroke, working 
your way to the other end bar.

>>....I've tried brisk flicking with a nylon brush.  
Definitely a slow 
process.

I also don't like using a brush unless I have to,  
and then a flick/sweep upwards is more effective--
they jump right off. 

(another use of old rule "bees move up" or...
wouldn't you take-off upwards not downwards if you had wings?)
