You gotta love smoke to smoke bees like that.
And if you did that method in the suburbs, some clown would call emergency services.
buzzbee:
The pitcher plants are interesting as well.

Max, I do not suggest that you smoke bees in this manner as there is no need in Australia with modern up to date methods shared, accepted, and in use.. . The point of posting this video is to show how different people in different parts of the world make do with what they have. This fella apparently does not live in an up-to-date, modern beekeeping environment and obviously uses the methods handed down to his people from generation to generation, which gets the job done for his needs in his environment.
On the other hand, if you were suddenly to bravely decide to work your bees, barefooted, in nothing but a pair of shorts, you might reconsider, by smoking your bees in this manor? :grin: It may save you a lot of stings! lol :wink: :cheesy:
Thanks for your post and bringing the smiles!
It is 31F here at my location and my bees are in for the winter. How is the weather there at your apiary in Australia? How are your bees faring? Has varroa reached your location?
