ABSTRACT:
A method of stripping leaf cutter bee nest blocks passes several sets of stripping pins through the block in a single pass. Each set of pins has a different length, the lengths differ so that only one set of pins at a time contacts the seal plugs in the nest block tunnels. One set of pins contacts the plugs and breaks them loose before next set contacts the plugs. The pins are spaced so that each pin of a set is not directly adjacent a pin of an immediately preceding or succeeding set. The method increases speed and reduces cocoon crush.
