I was watching a show on TV when I got home, and there was a guy on it using a bee vacuum to catch bees. It looked like a standard vacuum with a clear box on the end of the hose. It had a screen mesh filter inside to keep them from getting sucked down the tube and maybe four inches of softer looking tube past the box where the bees were being sucked in.
Is this standard equipment or was this guy just being creative?
If it is normal beekeeping equipment what keeps the sound of the vacuum from totally pissing off the bees. Outside of being pulled out of mid air and encased in a plastic box which I can't see would make them very happy ladies at all.
Just curious,
Tarot.
