Bee vac

[Timbeez]

Hi all, can anyone point me in the right direction, for plans/design, to make one for swarm collection, are you better using poly nuc or national brood box, thanks in advance.

I use a 14x12 poly nuc with a solid floor. Works every year.

Your answer was not completely off the wall tho Dani.
I made a bee vac out of a Paynes poly nuc by adding a piece of 3” PIR below the OMF with a vacuum pipe size hole to fit the Henry to. Then enlarged the entrance hole to fix a suction pipe to.
It works but needs a few tweaks.
