Describes how to make 2 forms of automatic bee dryers for use with insect specimens

1. How to Create an Autobeedryer And save yourself buckets of time

6. Squirrel Cage

7. Axial

10. We built a wooden box that would fit the opening

11. Then we created a container for wet bees that would fit into the wooden box

12. Here is what you need

14. Sand 1 end of the pipe and 1 end of the coupling smooth

15. Add cleaner to those ends

16. Add solvent to the cleaned ends (one at a time as the solvent dries quickly)

17. Add a piece of window screen to the end with the solvent and run your fingers around and around the rim to make sure the screen welds to the pipe

18. Trim the ends of the pipe with a knife. You can also drill a hole in the top and attach a string so its easy to pull the pipe out of the box

24. The fan…and, yes, we attached the ground wire to the body of the fan later…(by the way, old power chords from computers work great for things with low electrical loads)

26. Next step, cut out the center of the bottom and the lid

30. Add the adhesive to the rim, add the screen, press the screen down using wax paper (if you use your fingers alone you will be sorry)

31. Finished product…Note that the upper screen is actually NOT glued to the lid, it will be held in place by a rubber band

33. Action Shot
