I use a vacuum cleaner to remove clusters of bees from the windows of the
honey house. Like Mike Griggs mentioned, I find that an OLD worn out vacuum
cleaner from the dump or a yard sale is great.  A good working one mashes
them.  I use a very old tube shaped electrolux with a cloth bag.  Although
the machine has very little power, it does not take much to suck bees from a
cluster or off glass.  There are very few damaged bees when I empty the bag
in front of a nuc.        Regards, Stan
