I haven’t smoked for 40 years but am thinking of restarting! For the purpose of replacing fondant tubs when lots of bees are in the almost empty tub. By blowing them a quick puff of smoke. I think it would be much easier than lighting my smoker.
Any one else do this & does it work?

Well you certainly got my attention, it’s time you challenged your thoughts. Nicotine is a very powerful addictive substance. You gave up inhaling thousands of toxic chemicals and your body repaired itself. To even consider using again for whatever reason is bonkers. And as a side thought ~how does blowing smoke on them, help them?
 
What about using one of those electronic api smoker things?

The tobacco route seems abit like using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut, and then hitting yourself with the hammer after.
 
Great way to re-addict yourself & end up smoking again. One of the worst health "choices" you can make.
And the practicalities in a veil!
got a friend who gave up smoking in his fifties, always gave me a hard time for not giving up (but I eventually did a few years later when I was forty) Dennis is now eighty three but started smoking again on reaching eighty - because he was bored!!

it does not they get aggressive when nictone smake it near them, I used to have a 'helper' who would stand near when I opened a hive, who would be smaking a cigarette, the Bees really did not like it, when I told him to go away they calmed right down
