Why not use the traditional tool- a goose wing.  These have very soft
feathers along the wing trailing edge and the bees do not appear to mind
being brushed with one, nor to become entangled in the wing feathers.
In the UK Goose wings are readily obtained around Christmas time from
butchers who deal in game.
