 :goodjob: Looked like fun!  Not sure about your Minion's refusal to taste the honey, though.  I had several questions, but it's now 2:00 am and I have no idea what they were.  I figure it out and ask later.  Great job!

 Thanks Scott for the video of getting the bees and sure look like a lot of them, I think you got your self a go getter for a strong hive here.

Nice cutout the bees look to be quite calm will be a good addition to your survivor bees. it is so much easier to take it apart when it was put together with screws to begin with. Nice size colony looks to be as big or bigger than a 4 ft top bar hive.
Thanks for the written monolog, with the noise of the vacuum we wouldn't have been able to hear anything you said. I have thought about hooking up a variable speed control for the vacuum motor to control the vacuum force. Less speed less vacuum, also less speed less noise. 4hr with a noisy vacuum... Remember ear plugs.
Thanks for sharing Scott.

It was a good thriving hive, they are already filling their second box with comb, I'll probably be adding another box this weekend.
   Apis..  is it possible to run a vac motor from a rheostat without burning it out?

I'm not Apis, but I run my vac through a router control from Harbor Freight. $9.95

It works great, and you can hear when the motor start laboring and turn it back up a tad when you go too low.

I'll have to give it a try..   I have a rheostat for the extractor, plug in style..   would be easier than fussing with the carburetors all the time.

Adding more to what Iddee said with what he is using it is a little harder on the motor but if you listen to the lounging sound as stated it works as as the Rpm decreases so dose the vacuum load and the power required to run it.
The other way is to use a phase converter and what it does is change the ac frequency. Which is the Hrz. In North America air power grid runs 60 Hrz, in euro pit runs at 50 Hhz. By decreasing the Hrz you decrease the speed of the motor with no loss of power or increased amp draw.
The 3rd way is to use a speed control board in conjunction with a brushed 90 volt dc motor. The speed control board changes the line voltage from ac current to DC to run the motor. This is the system used on most of the small variable speed extractors sold now.
