Hi John,
I found it much easier to use a five gallon bucket to suck the bees into
. In Dec. 97,I extracted a colony of bees from under a house, I had about
two feet of head room, maybe two and a half. I mounted some pvc pipe
fittings to the lid, one for intake, the other for exhaust with a screen
tube on the inside of lid. I've used it several times and Ithink it works
better than a wooden box for vacuuming bees. Here in Tucson I put my name
in at the fire stations, they refer the people to me. My last swarm come
off of a Carl's Jr.  sign a little bigger than a softball. The lady that
called was very excited, she said "there are some KILLER BEES on the sign
at Carl's Jr. It was strange the "KILLER BEES " must of left before I got
there, because all I got was some mello bees. It was worth going to get
them. Good luck to you.
 
May the LORD Bless you and keep you all the days of your life.
