Herbalism: A bit of help

You could always use the skinning glitch.

I hear about the skinning glitch, and I understand how it works with skinning...but how does one do it with herbalism? If you are leveling skinning AND herbalism, can you just round up like 6 beats, and kill them close to a herb? then open the herb (but don't loot it) and skin all the beats --> open herb ---> skin beats? is that how it works?
