Beekeeping Tools -The Smoker
February 26, 2013
A smoker works because smoke masks alarm
pheromones released by bees. A variety of things can be burned in a smoker. Popular
choices are cow manure chips, pine needles, twine, bark, cotton, wood pellets. Whatever’s
handy at the moment should usually work, especially if you are on a farm. I’ve
heard that burning tobacco in a smoker is also helpful with mites.
