I suspect what you were looking at was a device for removing the bees 
straight back into the super on the hive.  Alternatly it can be used to 
brush the bees into a container and then the bees tipped back into the hive, 
or wherever desired.  They appear to be popular in Korea and Japan.

Korean bee outfits).
