Carefully take the sections apart, and lay them out on a flat surface.
Be gentle, but don't be afraid to touch the cocoons.
You will see the cocoons in small compartments where the bee built mud walls, to separate each egg, as it was laid in pollen from nearby flowers 🐝

You don't have to use a brush, but it makes it easier to clean the dry soil away.
Be careful to not make a mess 🐝
