can you show us your beeyard if you have one? I didn’t know if you have one hive or more but was curious if you have all TBH or if you have langstroths too.I will be posting my beehives when the weather gets better.thanks -Gordon
it is good when you are NOT using a vac because it reduces the number of fliers.
It is BAD when you do you a bee vac because they are sticky, they suck down sticky, are more likely to get hurt in the vac, but worse, clump together, overheat, and vomit honey as they die.
Great vid. Unfortunately I read your blg too late, and using sugar water I lost over half my bees, I feel terrible. In you opinion is it worthi it to buy a queen to save what is now a very small hive and 10 frames of brood? –signed, a novice
@shbehncke Yes, if you ahve 10 frames of brood, you have something worth saving. They may raise their own, but if they have lost half their bees, then small hive beetle is a big threat for you right now. Order a queen if you see no queen cells being made.
what an impressive set up in the tool shed mate, very impressive

Sorry if I missed it, but I’m guessing you have covers for the screened areas to preserve your vacuum.

For your removable lid why not screw down some old hardware from cabinets for a handle to grab?
