New Bee
I have become very sensitive to using smoke on my bees. Could anyone suggest any alternative methods or ways to reduce the effects of the smoke? I currently use hemp in my smoker....is there anything else that produces smoke that would be less harmful? I dont like the idea of spraying the bees with water and have tried this before but did read something on the internet about misting them with sugar syrup that im going to try...anyone got experience or comments on this?
I also bought a mask however even this is not effective enough for me....any suggestions on a good mask would be much appreciated.
