How do you smoke out bees?

Yes, Beedi, Cigarate smoke also kills bees especially at night times No, smoke does not kill bees. In times past, wild bees lived in or near woodland, and to them smoke meant one thing: forest fire. Their reaction to that was to gorge themselves with honey in case they needed to swarm in a hurry. Beekeepers make use of this primitive instinct by puffing some smoke into a hive they are about to open because a bee that is full of honey is much calmer and less likely to sting.
