Yup, this works just great. Since my honey house was the screen porch of our
house (and is now our garage) it was close to an electrical outlet and I just
plugged in my leaf blower, tipped the supers on their sides on the gate of  my
truck and blew the bees from the bottom of the super out through the top.
Most of them left in a hurry.
