How we light our smoker and keep it going all day. We use cardboard, pine cones, and pine needles. Stuff it full!

Exactly what is a 'honyok"? I had a 7th grade history teacher that would occasionally address one or more of us kids as a 'Bunch of Honyoks'. I have never heard it again before or since until now. I took it to mean something like 'boneheaded trouble maker' or equivalent. Is that close? HA HA! "Sit down and pay attention, ya bunch of honyoks!" 1976 was the last time I heard that word. This is the best How To vid on bee smokers. Do it like this.

I've heard ornery kid. Also heard it's a big ol boy who gets work done. Most people remember being called this by their grandpa.

This has been one of the best bee related videos I have studied. Top notch! And you have the class to give credit to FBM. Your doing a good service.

Thanks for this video. I have always failed to keep a smoker going. Very clear method and obviously a cheap way to do it.

I use toilet paper rolls wadded up pretty tight at the bottom and then more TP rolls, a less compacted and also and drink trays torn up. its a bit warmer then pure pine needles, but it tough to find dry ones in this area.

You had the smoke a rolling. I noticed in the background you have several hives of bees how many hives do you all have ?

I use pine straw (Southern for pine needles) here in NC. Evidently, I'm not using enough of them. Thanks.

GREAT method and tutorial. Also, creosote build-up in the nozzle of the smoker is a problem over time. What's the best way to get rid of that?? 🐝

I take a propane torch and heat it up. It burns and flakes off. I do let it get bad before I do that though.

Do you leave the metal riser in the bottom of the smoker or does the cardboard get placed on the bottom of the can?
@honyokhoneybees81163 жыл бұрын
We shall leave the metal insert on the bottom

So you need to add more pine needles?
@honyokhoneybees8116Ай бұрын
Yes as you use the smoker it will get hotter. So cram needles in tightly and the smoke will cool. Always use cool smoke when working Bees. Hot smoke makes them defensive. Happy beekeeping!

We got told off yesterday about smoke from the smoker neighbours they put the hose pipe on it and says put that out getting smoke in our house every day. In 20-years of beekeeping have never heard of anybody complain about smoke from a from a smoker but that's an awful lot of smoke coming from yours think people would complain if I had that much smoke in the garden.
@honyokhoneybees81163 жыл бұрын
It calms down a bunch. Makes light smoke most of the time. If I lived in town I might use a light sugar water spray on the bees instead. But not in cold weather.

When I add a ton of straw, it snuffs out the flame
@honyokhoneybees81163 жыл бұрын
That's good. You don't want a flame. 🙂...lol.....I know what ya mean. If I add too many pine needles too fast it can stop the embers from smoking. I add them slowly. Get a good bunch of smoke going again then add another handful and repeat this until you can barely push anymore in. It works real well. Enjoy and have fun beekeeping!

use wood pellets
@honyokhoneybees81163 жыл бұрын
Doing the method that I showed in the video we don't have to worry about hot Embers being blown in and landing on the queen. And it literally last us all day long. It's also free. If I had just a couple hives I might use some of the smoke pellets but we work a bunch of hives. Happy beekeeping!
