They look like the ultimate accessory for the Steam punk homesteader Alfred
Can't claim to have made this as my woodworking skills are minimal to say the least.....but I did have this bee vac made for me. So it nearly counts. There is 2ms of smooth bore tube that fits on the bottom tube for sucking the bees in with.
Looking forward to being able to remove bees from the garage/extraction room and set them free again. Might come in handy for hoovering up the odd badly situated swarm. Need s a hoover to create the vacuum, then you can adjust the strength of the vaccum...my vax will suck in bees but is too powerful and they mainly die.
Looking forward to its trial runs.
