What are your favorite beekeeping smells ?
Count down my top three:
Number 3) the smell of a super full of honey on a warm summer extracting day.
Number 2) Smell of my hands after having worked some hives with a smoker stoked with paper, grass, and dried pine needles.
Number 1) The smell of a strong hive of healthy Italians fanning and ventilating the nectar on a hot summer afternoon. In my opinion one of the best smells in nature.

The honey-and-beeswax smell of a hive on a warm summer evening.

Lemony queen scent.

Lemony queen scent.

That's what I have been smelling from my swarms. I wondered what it was. She must put out some major pheromone while in a swarm ball

I am pretty partial to the smell of clean beeswax.

From adding some 'bee smell' to my new hardware... melted propolis is pretty nice. almost cinnamon-y smell

A little sad as I don't have a very good sense of smell and most of those don't have any aroma to me.
