Prepare Bee Smoker and Don Bee Suit

What happens here

Before beginning work on the beehives, use a bee smoker. Light a piece of burlap or other suitable smoker fuel inside the smoker. Pump the bellows to generate a steady stream of cool, white smoke. Keep the smoker in a safe, designated area where it can continue to smolder without posing a fire hazard. For personal protection and to calm the bees, put on a full bee suit or a bee jacket with a veil and gloves. This helps protect against stings and makes the bees more docile during hive manipulation.

Goal: Prepare for safely working with beehives by activating a smoker and wearing protective gear.
