From a very young age, I apprenticed with my grandfather who was extremely knowledgeable on all things beekeeping. Once he retired early he took it up as a hobby and very quickly developed a ton of tricks and tips through a lot of his own research and decades of experience. I was very lucky to have him! At our peak, the operation had over 100 hives of bees, and we were at the top of everyone’s call list when anyone had a swarm to relocate on their property. The smoking method has never failed me, and it even works when I’m getting swarmed by a particularly aggressive hive of bees to smoke myself and cover any pheromones or signals to attack me haha A great resource is the Beekeeper’s Bible, if you ever need a book to reference! https://a.co/d/0bULWx1F Good luck!!
