I made a bee vac out of a shop vac by restricting the vacuum and lining the inside of the vac with a pillow case. it works great. i have used it twice now and as far as I can tell, it did not kill a single bee either time. HOWEVER, they are extremely mad when I do let them out. Both times i dumped them into a hive like a package of bees and both times, I got eat up by upset bees. I took 8 to 10 stings today through my jeans and jacket.
Does anyone know a good way to get them out of the vac and into a hive without getting swallowed in mad bees?
yeah, let then sit a while in the cages, I let mine sit a while after getting them home......
