This is my first cutout. Had an easy access colony with beautiful comb and lots of brood. Just needed a bee vac.

We made a bee vac from Robo's plans that we used the next week. This design works great! Thanks Rob.

Looks like you did a great job. Nice to have extra hands to help out. That bee vac is the trick ain't it, I got one too.

You fellas ever around Knoxville holler at me.

Great job, the second hive's queen was a beast, hope you got her.

Couldn't find the queen, but I think we did get her. The bees seemed to go back to business as soon as we got them home. I can't praise enough about the bee vac design. It has to be the easiest on bees with the introduction back to the brood and comb.
