Hi all,
Anyone made a bee vacuum?
Anyone got any plans?
Thanks

a mate made one, we both used it, we both found that the suction wasnt sufficient. I dont know where he got the plans from though.

Can’t advise but from what I have read that is quite critical- too little suction and it either takes too long / is ineffectual, or too much and the bees get damaged.

I have seen various plans over the years but it’s a tool to do a job I haven’t tried to attempt to be honest.

Yup, would be very interested in having one. A vax is too strong, most of bees die or are damaged.
