If you used it for that I would find a way to submerge the bucket in soapy water. If you use a straight shop vacuum the force is usually so strong it kills them, that's why we have to go through the efforts to reduce the suction so we don't harm the bees. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
The bulkhead would be a good option. I couldn't find anything like that locally so I just made do with a PVC fitting. I tried a ball valve on the intake and exhaust of the buckethead as I was tinkering but found out it wasn't needed so I returned them. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
This would have to be near a power source. A small generator, a power inverter on your car battery or a very long extension cord. I've seen vacuums that require power tool batteries but they are more than a professionally made model and they may not last as long.
Good design and all, but you skip around in your explanations too much and lose your audiences focus. You need to simplify your explanations and keep it straight forward. Need to cut out the excessive chatter and keep it straight forward. Just show your materials, show how it goes together, what each piece does, what tools are required, what measurements you used. Then if you need to, go back and go into a little more in depth explanations. This is meant to be constructive criticism and not mean. I like what you did and how you did it. You just made it hard to follow especially when you skipped around in your explanations. Best way to do a how to explanation is to sit down, think about wjat you want to say and write it down in order and then practice it. You want to keep your audience focused and not confused. Don't try to wing it or do it on the fly. I hope this helps you for future videos.
Good input! I agree and I see it in my videos (especially while editing!) I do find it hard to find time to do it in more than one take and just try to clean it up in editing. I'll work on it! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
I came to YT to find a vac like what “Mr. Ed” uses and found this instead and just now made it. Thanks for the tips!
Mr. Ed is quite the beekeeper! I'm sure this setup will work good for you. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
If adhd was a video lol
Welcome to my world. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Curious as to what one does with a bucket full of yellow jackets or wasps?

Do you need to add any cushioning into the bucket for the bees so they dont smack against the side and get hurt/killed?
You could, but I didn't have that issue. I don't think they are coming in at that high of a speed.
use an aquarium bulkhead with a ball valve for your intake port in the next version

Looks like a provac to me.👍
Thanks DC!
@@BrianCooper901 Oh I mean a professional not that brand one.
What size drill bit for holes?
@5:35 I noted 3/32”. I just double checked and that is what I used.
How do you remove the filter cage without breaking it to remove the paint can lid
I tried to find tabs to press in but you really can't access the tabs. I just pulled really hard and it did not damage the cage.
How do you power that unit out in the field
This would have to be near a power source. A small generator, a power inverter on your car battery or a very long extension cord. I've seen vacuums that require power tool batteries but they are more than a professionally made model and they may not last as long.
You need to turn your volume up
I'll have to work on that. Thanks for the feedback.
