To pacify bees when inspecting the hive, beekeepers resort to special smoke. Black steel smurf is a special device used to fumigate bees with smoke in order to suppress them.

Smoke, produces a restraining effect on bees, people knew it from ancient times, but only in the twentieth century this was found a scientific explanation. The process of smoke hives leads to the fact that all the odoriferous substances released by bees and signaling a threat are neutralized by thick smoke. Moreover, the bees begin to fill the crab with honey, in order to leave the hive with a supply of honey in case of fire, as a result, the bee can not bend the filled abdomen at the right angle and accordingly produce a bite.

The basis of the smoke consists of a cylindrical body with a cone-shaped cover made of black steel, fur is attached to the body. In a special glass, which has a lattice bottom, the necessary materials are laid, which, when smoldering, form a thick smoke. Ashes from the smoldering of materials, crumbles through the bottom of the inner glass and remains in a special space that is located between the glass and the shell of the smoke. The smoke of the smoke is made of two plates covered with leatherette. Fur plates are made of wood, because the tree is not subjected to strong heating, in contrast to the metal plate.

The dimensions of the smoke: length 280, width 112, height 255. Weight: 0.95 kg
