<dc:title>Bee smoker</dc:title>
<dc:description>A bee smoker is an essential tool in beekeeping, used to calm the bees and make hive inspections and honey collection easier. The smoker produces smoke that disrupts the bees’ alarm pheromones, making them less aggressive. Manual smokers consist of a combustion chamber where fuel (such as straw or hay) is placed and lit to produce smoke; a bellows or blower, which pushes air into the combustion chamber to maintain the fire and the flow of smoke; and a spout or smoke outlet that concentrates the smoke so it can be directed toward the hive. In this case, we have both an old and a modern model of manual smokers—the latter includes an external protective grid around the combustion chamber.</dc:description>
