Hi all! My question is, How long does the effects of the smoke on bees last? When does the hive return to normal? When does the girls defenses kick back in?
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
I love it! Too true! When I'm working the frames, suddenly you see the girls...all lining up, side by side, and you know like you know....they're eyeballing you. Time to reach for the smoker and PRAY it's still lit. If not, then they will light YOU up! :lpf:When you see the bees all lined up between the frames, their heads sticking out staring at you its worn off.
Even then mine are still docile.
Ha!! I've seen the girls do that! That answers my question. I was worried that the effects might last for a longer time...possibly hours, that they might be left defenseless against intruders! Thanks!
