I looked in the archives and found a post by somebody who said he had been
taught this but had never tried it.  Has anybody here tried it?  What
happened?

(I am particularly interested because I set off some fierce robbing the
other day just by trying to put some wet supers back on to stay for winter.
Although the bees were gentle as we began, we got chased out of the yard
before finishing.  I'm not sure what I could have done differently except
perhaps letting them be robbed some distance away before bringing them into
the yard.)
