Honey Keeper 12-1/2 inch Bee Hive Smoker, Stainless Steel with Heat Shield, Beekeeping Equipment

A Beehive Smoker is one of the most important tools in your beekeeping arsenal. If they are not handled with care, the bees can become hostile and sting during routine hive inspections. Smoke helps with calming the bees down so you can safely check your colony without permanently driving them away. Our Honey Keeper Beehive Smoker is made of high-quality, extra-durable stainless-steel to resist rust, abrasion, and wear and tear for longer service life. The stainless steel surface also takes longer to become hot to the touch, providing a more comfortable experience. A protection heat shield guard surrounds the smoke chamber to keep your hands safe while you are working with your hive. The handy storage hook allows you to properly store the smoker after use to ensure it cools down safely. The canister comes with a large fuel chamber that holds enough tinder, kindling, and fuel to produce smoke for use on all your hives without needed to refuel. More fuel also prevents your smoker from going out during hive inspections. Sturdy bellows are attached to the fuel chamber to puff enough air for use on your hives, as good airflow is crucial for smoke production. These bellows also push smoke out through a nozzle in a controlled direction towards the hive to make inspections easier. Dimensions Overall Height 12-1/2", Barrel Height 9", Barrel Diameter 4". Honey Keeper makes top quality beekeeping supplies to support all colony habitats and ensure longevity.
