This is NOT a sponsored video but you will receive a special deal and I will receive a small commission if you mention my channel when you order your Everything Bee Vac at The vac comes with a very nice swivel end hose and crevice tool. The hose end I was using in this video is just something I cobbled together for a job where I needed a little extra reach. Tony builds his own hoses now so he can customize them to suit your needs. He just built me two new ones. I'll be breaking one in this week.
It's not typical that I go knocking on doors at 11:00 PM looking for swarms but I figured since this one was at the psych ward they were probably used to crazy stuff happening in the middle of the night. I got the call about this swarm late in the afternoon while I was out of town. I had a cut out scheduled for first thing the next morning and couldn't be back in town until late that night. I was told by the facility manager that it didn't matter what time I came. Since I'm a night owl and had work lined up for the next day I figured I'd just go ahead and take care of their problem on my way home.
You can hear the wind in the microphone while I was collecting the bee swarm. I wasn't sure what attitude the bees would have with the wind gusting, barometric pressure changes and what ever other factors you can think of. Surprisingly these bees were very docile. I got no stings. My security escort was even able to get close enough to get some nice selfies with the bees.
Also had someone ask me this week about how to fold the EZ Nuc. Here is my brother with a little demonstration.
Stay tuned for lots more videos.
