Hi all. Thanks for all the info on my last question. Looks like I have found a great spot to learn alot.
Just woundering about smoking the bees. I got a smoker but it seems like every time I go into my hive, the bees are calm and quiet until I smoke them. When I smoke them they all buzz loudly then calm back down. I am using white pine needles for fuel. I have on occassion not smokwed them at all. I had a frame that I pulled that had some drawn comb (not full) and it smells like smoke. Hope that all of them don't. Will smoke get into the honey or wax flavor??
Thanks in advance.
