Hive Butler Bee Vac

Regular price $249.00
Unit price per

We've taken the popular Hive Butler tote and custom-fitted it with a small vac head to make a lightweight bee vac that offers simplicity and versatility at a great price. 

This vac holds 10 deep or medium Langstroth frames just like a hive body does, and weighs less than 14 lbs! It comes with a 2nd ventilated lid to conveniently transport your bees back to the apiary with plenty of ventilation, ensuring they make it home in great shape.

Bee vacs need to strike the right balance of enough suction to draw bees into the container, without damaging them. Our bee vac does just that!

Comes without hose. The vac is set up for 2.5" hose, or you can adapt it to 1.25" (adapter not included).

Just got back from first use

At first I had to make an adjustment, John at hillco helped me. We added a valve to the intake which allows me to adjust the suction on the vacuum. That valve worked perfectly. Yesterday did my first cut out using this vacuum. I had a 25 ft hose on it and it worked perfectly.
