Sucking It Up

While most of the bees will stick to the hive, there will be a few stragglers. Glover isn’t one to leave any bees behind, so to make sure they tag along, he uses a vacuum cleaner to pick them up. This may sound harsh but is safe and very effective.

First of all, it isn’t a regular vacuum cleaner he’s using. Instead, it has a unique attachment canister that lowers the suction power and serves as a safe space for the bees to be sucked into. The attachment goes between the suction pipe and the vacuum motor.
