SMOKING BEES

Because bees use chemical scents (called pheromones) to communicate information, including threat and alarm, a few cool wafts from a Beekeeper’s smoker confuses this mechanism and keeps the colony more compliant. This smoking action doesn’t stress the bees, who quickly return to normal once the Beekeeper has moved on.
