Abstract:
A bee repellent device for a power lawn mower having a cutting blade and a housing. The device includes a linear brush including a set of elongated head elements mounted to a front panel on the housing and positioned in substantially perpendicular relationship to a lawn. The linear brush is mounted so that its length is parallel to the front panel the elongated head elements span most or all of the front panel. The linear brush has downwardly projecting bristles secured by the set of elongated head elements, and the bristles operate to brush the surface of grasses in the lawn so as to repel bees away from the lawn mower cutting blades when the lawn mower is propelled in a forward direction.
