This is an bucket collection device for collecting bees swarms.
Last time my bees swarmed they settled way out of reach in a tree.
I have a Fiskar UP86 long reach pruner (https://www.screwfix.com/p/fiskars-telescopic-bypass-tree-pruner/4166t) that can extend up to 4m so thought it would be useful to add a bucket-like device to help retrieve my bees when they swarm so designed this.
The angle of the bucket can also be adjusted slightly, by the nuts on the adaptor. The nut adaptors allow you to adjust while wearing gloves.
It can be printed in parts on a 220mm x 220mm bed.

I'm using the butterfly home upside down - I cut a hole in the base off the net (or you can cut the
