Thanks. This is pretty much exactly what I was planning to do. Except instead of big holes covered with mesh I was going to just drill lots of very small holes until the suction is right. I was also thinking of using a 10 gallon bucket, drilling the bottom say 1/2 like crazy, then putting that inside of a 5 gallon bucket to cover the holes while operating. So you can then separate the buckets and ventilate the bee chamber while transporting them.
Fantastic!!! Thank you so much!!! Just found a hive in my RV....Wife told me they gotta go!! Been needing a vac but was NOT going to pay $300 for one!!
Hey. Thanks for the question. I used a hole that is 2" in diameter. If you use smaller holes it will work also, but it will be more work and changes how many holes you will need to leave open.
Thank you for your question! I would still do at least 2 holes, so that you have that adjustment available. This would totally be a personal preference.
@@learningaswegofarming thank you so much!! My vaccum is a little different but I think it will works very well..so I'll try and I'll give you news soon!

I'm so glad this was helpful! Let us know how the removal goes.
I have looked at alot of videos, yours looks the simplest and imo therefore the best
I am so glad this was helpful to you!
Awesome job. I think you're video is the most simple and easy to follow as I've seen How big are the four holes that you drove in the bucket?

Are you saying that, since you covered the other three, you only needed to cut out a single 2" hole?

Hello great job!!.
I have a question..one of those holes is to put the vacuum cleaner tube in?
Thank you for the question. The hose actually goes on the top, it connects to the vacuum lid that you can buy from Home Depot. Does that make sense?
