Bees certainly don't enjoy being brushed with anything, but they really
hate our natural (horsehair?) brush. They get tangled up in it and try to
sting the bristles. We have a synthetic fibre brush with very smooth
bristles;  they don't like it but they are much less aggressive toward it
than they are towards the natural one.
