Bee Vacuum, PORTABLE, The Everything Bee Vac, Collect Bee Swarms, Hive them up, battery powered.

I've had the Colorado Bee Vac here for quite a while now. It's great, and well designed/outfitted.
What it can't do is go where there is no electricity, and I have to rig extension cords which isn't something you should be doing if the ground is damp or if it begins to rain etc.
In this video, I test out my brand new Go Getter Everything Bee Vacuum.
I followed the instructions and gave it a full charge before going after two swarms.
There was power to spare, and I'm impressed by the noise levels. I never had to operate it at full power.

Where can you get one for yourself? Glad you asked, just follow this link, I do not receive compensation if you purchase one:

I chose the Go Getter kit. I would buy extra buckets with screen inserts just in case you need to get more than one swarm in a single trip.

I would like to thank Randy M. for his use and demonstration of this vac which encouraged me to get one for myself! You can check out his YouTube channel here:    / @628dirtrooster  
Randy performs professional cutouts, if he endorses it, you can bet it's a keeper.

I was presenting about honey bees at a recent Honey Bee Convention.
Stephen Repasky (Author of Swarm Essentials) was also presenting. Steve invited me outside to see his Everything Bee Vac. He had nothing but good things to say about it.

Between Randy and Stephen, what more of an endorsement do you need?

I also want to give a shout-out to Guardian Bee Apparel
They made the first zippered veil vented bee suit. I receive no compensation for endorsing them, and just wanted to send you in the direction of the best vented bee jackets on the market in my opinion:

With an Everything Bee Vac, and a Guardian Bee Apparel suit, you're ready for any swarm situation no matter what the weather is doing.

Also, I suggest rinsing the vacuum hose between swarm captures, with cold fresh water, then just let it dry out.

THINGS I WISH IT HAD:

Round intake nozzle

Round rigid extension tube, 24-36" would do it.

NOTE: Look through the hose intake and make sure you bend the chicken wire up and out of the way. Bees will be cut apart if it's in the flow-zone.
