I bought a leaf blower (gas powered) at the Sears outlet store for about
$45.  It is not as small as what you describe, but I rigged a section of
vacuum hose on to it so I need not carry it.  I have used this each of the
last two falls to clear supers.  It works quite well and much better than bee
escapes or Bee-Go.
