WE SQUISHED ONE......AND THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT!!
What happens here
First, ignite the smoker, a crucial tool for calming bees during inspection. The host uses burlap sacks, readily available from local feed stores, as fuel. He lights the burlap with a Coleman brand propane torch, ensures it's burning well, and then caps the smoker to generate smoke. He emphasizes setting the hot smoker down on a safe, non-flammable surface, like a beehive box, to prevent fire hazards.
Goal: Ignite and prepare the smoker for beehive inspection.
