Bee Vacuum plansFree Bee Vacuum plans - Build your own bee vacuum with free plans. Youll have more salvaged comb, cleaner honey and a bunch more live bees. This idea has saved me hundreds of stings and saved the lives of a lot of bees (I wouldn’t pull feral hives without one). If you’ve ever tried to remove an existing feral hive without a bee-vacuum, I’m sure you’ve sworn off ever doing it again. Try it by vacuuming off the majority of bees first – then remove the comb one by one & vacuum the bees off each comb as you go. With less bees in the air & on the ground you’ll have less of a chance at any unhappy bee-meeting. Plus the bees seem to know they’re in trouble when you vacuum off most of their population – the rest will likely remain extremely timid. At the end of the day you’ll have more salvageable comb (put back into empty frames and tie with cotton string or rubber-bands) cleaner honey (without 1000′s of bee-parts) and a bunch more live bees.
