Bob & Scot,

What not advise to blow out the bees if you object to fume boards? A  small hand held Stihl leaf blower will remove bees from shallow supers, without the necessity of removing individual frames, about as quickly and as completely as a fume board will. In fact some beekeepers carry a blower to finish the fume board job.
