    Anyone using a fan rather than a smoker?

    For inspections i don't use anything while i'm going through the hive (i've got a TBH) when i'm ready to close up i use a spray bottle of water (with a little cider vinegar), they think it's raining and quickly shift back down between the combs so i don't crush any.

    don't try this at home kids

    perhaps something to try with someone you can't stand to hear, the bees will hopefully seal up the mouth area...

    Sugar water???

    I've not used a smoker yet (don't actually own one), but with the top bar, inspection isn't as intrusive. I use a water spray to coax them back down between the combs though, so they don't get squished by the bars
