AWESOME!!! Thanks for putting this together, Derrick. Gonna make my own now and I’ll let you know if I come up with any other epiphanies. Appreciate it.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I will try to post more content with more tips as I find more little projects that may be helpful, I hope you will check back periodically 🙂
Add an additional chamber with a screen that has a greater surface area. Then it would take the whole swarm ball covering the screen to stop the suction.
Excellent idea, and it came just in time - I did a presentation at my local bee club last night and described your idea for improvement to anyone wanting to build their own. It is certainly something that I will be doing to upgrade mine - thanks again!
