Good job but there are two things I have saw other things bee keeping have done to it that may help you out. ( 1 ) put a piece of weather striping around the top of your bottom bucket to seal the top bucket from leaking . (2) put a valve in your top bucket to control the suction to make it have more or less suction so it does not kill your bees (3) you will need two top buckets with two lids with the screen in both of them SO if you have a lot of bees you can put half in each bucket so they do not over heat . Also I think it would be better to have both buckets lids with the fittings in the top so you do not have to take the lids off to change buckets. Just unhook the hose put a rag in the top fitting pull the bucket out and put it in a shad
I really appreciate this detailed video. I want to build one of these to have on hand. Thank you for sharing!
That is very cool my friend
Looks like it will work great!
That was a simple and fun project.

Greatly appreciate it. I'll be making another one soon so I will definitely keep this in mind!
