One of my biggest problems when using wfp is removing bee muck on high hard to reach windows.
Some houses I clean have windows covered in the stuff and although I give them a thorough scrubbing some still remains and is very noticible when I do the inside.
I use a doodlebug holder which I have reduced in size together with a white pad and neat sugarsoap.
The results are reasonable but not great.
I realise a scraper would do the job but was hoping someone may have some suggestions on what else might work .
ie meths, WD40, Oil Flo etc or maybe steel wool in a fixi clamp.
Any help much appreciated.

Are you sure it bee muck. Had this once nothing would move it. Turned out to be over spray from the neighbour spraying the wood fence.

Yes it is definately from bees, it it deposited while they are flying past.
One rural house I do has bee hives next door and it is a nightmare.

i bought some of the new brush scrapers from gardiners but to be honest i find them next to useless.i dont know whether its cos im using a normal standard angle adaptor on my pole but they just dont do the job for me.

we defo need a purpose built scraper to fit on brushes for us wfpolers.

Personally when I come across this I give a good couple of scrubs with a soft-bristled brush and this usually works well.  However, if they are extensive then you may need something like the Super-Lite brush scraper.  Although Dazmond doesn't get on with them we have sold a couple of 1000 of them now and the majority of users find they work well.  They do work best when used with a 45 degree gooseneck (carbon or Resi).  This will allow you to give a light scrape after an initial clean. 

The other option is to glue a piece of green scritchy material to one side of the brush so that the brush can be flipped 90 degrees and the scritchy pad can abrade it off when needed.

This stuff would be almost impossible to remove with any brush and pure water alone.
As the marks are only about 3mm in size they are very difficult to see, especially at a distance of 15ft.
I feel the ideal way to clean these is to treat whole window.
By the way,  I did try Oil Flo on a cloth on some of these marks and it did break them down quite quickly.
