brushed

1. Having been cleaned, tidied, or straightened with a brush.Examples: "The decay in sound unbrushed, brushed, and washed fruit, and in fruit all of which has been injured by the clippers in picking, by stems puncturing other oranges or by abrasions of other kinds."; "Most of the shipments have included duplicate lots of apparently sound brushed or unbrushed fruit, sound washed; the regular commercially packed fruit and oranges showing visible mechanical injury."; "Of course, washed potatoes are more expensive than brushed potatoes."

2. (beekeeping) Having been artificially formed into a swarm by being brushed off a honeycomb.Examples: "I recommended the forming of brushed swarms about 15 years ago, in the American Apiculturist, and made them on the old stand as well as on a new stand in uncounted numbers, with the result that these swarms always worked with the same vigor as natural swarms, so I know what I say."; "When I make shaken or brushed swarms I usually wait till queen cells are found with eggs or larvae in them, although I do not think this is essential."; "But when one practices this method of making artificial, shaken, or brushed swarms, he should remember that probably nothing will be accomplished in swarm prevention by shaking unless the bees are actually preparing to swarm."
