bees smoker
R 299.00
Smoke calms bees by masking alarm pheromones and triggering a survival instinct that causes them to gorge on honey, making them less likely to sting. Masking the pheromones prevents the rest of the colony from getting the "attack" signal. The instinctual response makes them believe the hive is on fire, so they fill up on honey in preparation to leave, and their full abdomens make it difficult to bend and sting.
