Aaron, I use a Stihl that has a standard connection which has the nozzle
narrowing down. The major consideration is the velocity of the air delivered
at the nozzle.  I suspect yours may not be powerful enough.  Works well but
blowers can be a pain when there is honey dripping off burr comb.  Bees get
covered in fine honey.  Often use a clearer board, I believe you call them
escape boards, on for a short time to let them clean up the honey from the
broken burr comb then blow.  It is amazing how many will go down in the
short time the clearer board is on.
