I wanted to pass along details of a bee vac a friend of mine from our bee club invented. It is so simple to make and works great. He takes a wooden package bee box and cuts a hole in the top the size of his vacuum hose. Take the feeder can and cut the top and bottom out of it. Cover one end with window screen and duct tape it in place taking care not to cover any of the opening. Stick the can back in the hole with the screen on the bottom. Put one end of the hose you will be using to collect bees in the hole you cut in the top of the box; place another hose which will be coming from the vacuum source loosely in the can. Place the whole apparatus into a plastic kitchen garbage bag. When vacuum is applied the bag is sucked against the sides of the box. Regulate the suction by opening the bag around the hose in the can. Vacuum is right when a bee 2" away is sucked in but one 3" away escapes. If the swarm is huge, you can fill one box and change to another! When finished pull the hose from the box and quickly place a small board to close all bees inside. When I saw this thing work for the first time I couldn't believe something so simple worked so good. Bob Young Lindale, TX
