Honey Bee Smoker for Beekeeping

ANP BEE Honey bee smoker is an essential tool used in beekeeping. It is a device designed to generate smoke that can be directed towards beehives. Our Bee smoker typically consists of a metal canister with a bellows or pump attached to it. The canister is filled with a variety of materials that produce smoke when ignited, such as wood chips, pine needles, or dried herbs.

The bellows or pump allows the beekeeper to blow air into the canister, directing the smoke through a nozzle or spout. It helps to calm the bees. When smoke is directed into the hive, it triggers a natural response in the bees, making them believe there might be a nearby forest fire. In response, the bees gorge themselves on honey, which makes them more docile and less likely to sting. The smoke from the bee smoker helps mask the pheromones released by the guard bees, reducing their aggression and allowing the beekeeper to work with the bees more easily.

By using a bee smoker during swarm control procedures, the smoke disrupts the pheromone signals, making it more difficult for the bees to coordinate a swarm. Beekeepers can work more safely and comfortably with the bees when they are calmer. By reducing the aggression and sting response of the bees, the bee smoker helps protect the beekeeper from stings and potential allergic reactions.
