Long story short we ended up with all the comb, honey and brood and several pounds of bees in the vacuum. We emptied it three times into the nucs
I went back today and used my vacuum, which stays on my trailer and a long pool hose. (this was a second floor room) I took maybe 5 pounds of bees and we sealed the outside holes to the satisfaction of the owner.
I do not charge, but ask for a donation towards my expenses, gas rubber bands ect. The owner was so please he gave me a 50. I usally tell them at least 35 bucks.
I left with a satisfied owner and someone who was more then happy to help us Save the Bees. Also gave me a referral to a friend to do his House Hive.
After getting home today I worked my yard and man em I tired,,,but you know I feel so good about what we did, teaching someone to do a good job and save the bees.
