I have decided to build my own bee vacuum instead of buying one! I am
perforating a 5 gal bucket with many small holes in the bottom, then
inserting it into another bucket. A bee collection hose leads into the lid, a
vacuum hose from the bottom bucket creates suction to draw the swarm into the
perforated bucket. Vacuum pressure generated by a reversed leaf blower.
