Verrrry nice smoker instructions there Riv. I had to learn how to do this as well. And Iddee too, said that you gently hurd the bees. That helped me when I was going thru the shaker box method to check for queens during my swarm issues.

Also, you'll find that if you puff and take a couple of breaths, they respond so much better. No puff puff puffing. Gentle as she goes ~

"And Iddee too, said that you gently hurd the bees....Gentle as she goes ~"

what jen said on iddee's advice.....absolutely, and that's it....it's all you need. they move with just a little.  it's hard to figure that out at first, but if you try it, you will find that it works, unless circumstances are different. good smoker mojo for your next visit capn!
