Your photos' rocked,

And your beevac was awesome.

Do you have plans for how you built it?
Thanks

No plans that are drawn up. I'm one of those types that gets an idea and the whole blue print is in my head. Brian and Barny both have seen and used my vac and are possibly going to pattern themselves one from mine. Perhaps they might come up with plans. Or I might get the urge to draw it up one of these days. If I ever find the patience for it.

I guess what I need to pattern it is some basic information like how tall wide and deep it is and what size motor is it.

And just some more photos all the way around and inside it.

It looks great.

I'll get the batteries charged in the camera and get some more photos. Then post them and explainations in the equipment section. Look for it tonight.

thanks for the photos,
I get a good idea for what you built,

what is the motor you used?

and the mousetrap is a great solution to the problem of the entrance for the hose.

Do you have a lot of bee mortality with your system?

I posted info in the Hive plans and equipment section.

Losses are not bad at all. I squish more bumping them with the hose than gets injured.

If the hose has a tight turn in it I think that does damage, so I try to avoid doing that.

All I know about the motor is it came out of a canister type floor vac.
