How long is a piece of string
been busy today getting everything ready for tomorrow,just hope it goes well.
I have made the vac box and also made a inside mesh lid so i can take the top lid off and see how many are inside.I also made a mesh dummy board type thing so as all the bees aren't sucked to one point in the box.I got hold of some 30ml clear tubing (smooth) and it all works pretty well.Quiet please to tell the true :sifone:

Now would i be better off using a 32ml round cutter and take out a circular 32ml hole in the floor board then stick the end of the vac in it and hope for the best, rather than take the floor board straight up.I was thinking this might get alot of the flying bees .What do you think?

I might get some snaps tomorrow, but it depends on how it all goes lol
 
I have not had time yet for pics but i will get them up as soon as i can.
 
Cant remember if i posted pics of my vac before, but anyway, here they are.

Works a treat.

As for cutting a hole in the floor board, waste of time, you need to get at em on the comb. You will get a load of flyers, but if they come into the room you are working in, keep the windows shut and you will easily be able to hoover them up on the glass as they will gravitate towards the windows.
 
waiting with bated breath.............
