ABSTRACT:
A hive section of plastic or wood moves along an upper raceway with the board immediately following the inner board, being supported on the underside by a support which is shaped to follow the contour of the cross section of the board for maximum support. A transverse impact bar extends between a pair of spaced and parallel endless chain and sprocket assembly and is moved thereby to strike the upper side of the innermost board thus shearing it away from the hive section and moving it downwardly between a set of guides. The impact bar is shaped to engage substantially the entire upper surface of the board. The impact bar moves the board between a pair of comb assemblies on the lower ends of the guide bars which clears out the cocoons and leaves them to fall into a catch pan or stacked upright whereupon flippers moves them away and into the catch pan so that they are not struck by the next following board. The cleared board is moved downwardly and then forwardly onto a lower raceway so that when the entire hive section has been cleaned, it is in a reassembled stacked position on the lower raceway ready for reuse.
