     I have been asked to look into the possibility of building a device
which could be used to pacify a bee colony so that the honey may be gathered
from the colony.  I believe the present method is to smoke the bees.
Anyway, a person I know who is a beekeeper heard that a 600Hz vibration
may be used to pacify the bees instead of smoke.  I am assuming that the
method used to cause the vibration would be a loud 600Hz tone produced by
a battery powered speaker.  

     I am interested in finding out if it is worth the effort to try this,
or if it would be a waste of time.  Any information would be appreciated.
