bee hive smoker

Bee hive smokers are essential tools for beekeepers, used to calm honey bees during hive inspections and honey collection. Our collection includes a variety of smokers such as the Galvanized Beekeeping Smoker, known for its durability and rust resistance, and the Stainless Steel Honey Bee Smoker, which offers heat resistance and comes in multiple sizes and colors. For those seeking advanced features, the Stainless Steel Electric Beehive Smoker provides one-button operation and AA battery power. Additionally, we offer Smoker Fuel Pellets that ensure clean smoke and a sweet aroma, essential for efficient beekeeping.


Why Choose Our Bee Hive Smokers?

Bee hive smokers are indispensable for managing bee colonies safely and efficiently. Our range of smokers is designed with the beekeeper in mind, offering features that enhance both safety and performance.

Key Features and Principles

Our bee hive smokers are crafted from high-quality materials such as stainless steel and galvanized metal, ensuring durability and resistance to rust. The design includes a perforated smoke pellet stand for optimal airflow and a hive mounting hook for easy storage. The 4-inch by 11-inch smoke chamber provides superior smoke generation, making it easier to calm bees during hive inspections.

The principle behind a bee smoker is simple yet effective. When bees sense smoke, they gorge themselves on honey, which makes them less likely to attack the beekeeper. Our smokers are designed to produce consistent smoke with minimal effort, allowing you to focus on your beekeeping tasks.

  • Hive Inspections: Calm bees safely during routine checks.

  • Swarm Management: Manage bee colonies effectively during swarming season.

How to Use

  1. Open the Top: Start by opening the top of the smoker.
  2. Start a Fire: Use materials like pine needles, pinecones, or wood chips to start a small fire in the cylinder.
  3. Add Fuel: Once the fire is started, add more fuel on top and close the lid to restrict airflow.
  4. Maintain Smoke: Puff the smoker once or twice every 5 minutes while working on the hive to keep the bees calm.
