What I got was a Wesco wet and dry vacuum.The hose doesn’t seem to be smooth walled inside which I’m told is essential so not to damage the bees. What would have been in a separate box?

The yellow beevac shown on eBay was the one I had ordered although i didn’t order through eBay but from the same seller on his own site. What I got was a Wesco wet and dry vacuum.

Wilco, got both of those, a good friend who has kept bees for a number of years and can also repair the roof. Just had a very bad experience with a seller of supposedly genuine beevac only to be sent an ordinary wet & dry vacuum that I could bought same make that I was sent for £200.00 less...

I am bottling my honey in half lb jars and have ordered labels from Thornes , is it best to have the large or small labels please.

My capping are currently in a muslin bag can I keep them in this when rendering, it should save having to strain it afterwards?
