Hello all just wondering if anyone has used a 3lb package bee shipping box as the bee vac box if so what are the pros/cons. And how effective is it to use. Thanks!
Way too small in my opinion. The bees will surely overheat and perish. Real easy to make a hive body style vac. Similar to a robo vac without all the frills.
You will then have the extra work of shaking the bees into a hive when you could have made a Robo/Bushkill style vac that sucks them directly into a hive. Only usefull if you want to sell the bees in the package.
