In an effort to reduce our impact on the environment, we use locally grown and harvested pine for the majority of our vacuum. We also do our best to reduce waste and therefore, discolorations, knots, and minor imperfections in the wood are likely. No knots or imperfections are in any critical areas of the bee vac, and none will impact the functionality. Examples of typical bee vac appearance can be seen here.

Here is what Bushkill Bee Vac owners are saying: (read all the reviews) This beevac design is far superior to others on the market. You have the option of loads of power or a gentle nudge to get the bees in the hive body. I have been able to remove numerous hives out of walls and relocated swarms with mine. It is the Bee’s Knees! – Wildlife Abatement, LLC “I have found the bushkill bee vac to be the conerstone tool for live removal of honeybees. I do several dozens removals a year and could not even contemplate doing so without this vac. Yes, there are other designs for bee vacs out there but none of those approach the complete design of this vac. The bushkill design allows for removal directly into a hive body that will be the bees new home plus it allows the removal of broodcomb directly into frames to be reunited with the colony at the site. This is extremely important and not mentioned enough as the brood is best cared for by the bees and the longer it out of the hive the greater the loss. The bushkill also eases the job for the beekeeper/removal expert by allowing the entire vac/hive body to be transferred AS A UNIT to the beeyard. Other designs vacuum the bees into seperate containers from the broodcomb and then at a later time these containers must be emptied into a hive body off site or back at the beeyard creating double work for the beekeeper/remover. I like the bushkill so much that I think anyone serious about removals should have three or more.” – Georgia Wildlife Services “It turned out that the hive was very good size and the vac was well worth the effort. The brood shim worked great to add the brood and then let the bees move up into the brood.” – Matt, Florida “If you don’t have one, they sure make it much easier than any other bee vacs I have seen. Very good design.” – Mark, Tennessee “I personally can not say enough good things about Rob’s bee vac design. We just vacuum them straight into the hive body. Very few bees get killed. I can get nearly every bee and not have to come back after dark and get the hive. It is very fast and effective. I have hived over 200 (swarms) using my Robo bee vac.” – Steve, Georgia
