A beekeeper uses a smoker to calm honey bees in the hive #184782781
Description
A beekeeper in protective yellow workwear uses a smoker to subdue the bees before inspecting the body hives with Carniolan honey bees. A procedure is done before the evaluation of the bee colony. The smoke initiates a feeding response in anticipation of possible hive abandonment due to fire. It allows the person to safely lift and inspect the honeycomb frames.
