I have given this advice before (although it is certainly not a favorite
with many of you!), which is to use a fume board with Bee-Go, or the
like. The stragglers can be blown out with a bee blower. This gets
99.5% (est.) of the bees without them so much as noticing that you are
the one bothering them. Don't use the fume boards in cool weather,
however; in that case the blower alone will have to do.
