Well, George Imirie, I tried moving bees with my finger today to get them
off the combs I was uncapping with an electric knife.
  Moving the bees with my finger worked fine.
  Not snipping or flicking them, I crowded them sideways with a finger until
they flew off the comb. They do not seem to mind being pushed.

  Tim - thinking Aaron might try putting some fingers in his toolbox so
they'll be handy after he's mowed the bee yard.
