  In reference to using some tool to "stab" brood:

  Years ago, the first fall of my beekeeping, I did lots of things I learned
from.  I brought several supers of honey into the house, ready for the
extractor..  On closer examination, I discovered patches of capped brood in
the middle of the honey on some of the frames.  "Smartly" I took a sharp
kinfe and just sliced the tops of the capped brood off.  Next day, to my
horror, I found the floor covered with hundreds of walking wounded.  The
bees had been cut in half and only the front half had survived.  Not a
pleasant memory,

  Just wondering what the actual result would be of  your tool???

  Eunice.
