Antique Smoker
... Beechworth Honey...Beechworth Honey Archive 87 Ford Street Beechworth high ...Smokers are used to calm bees. This is done by putting some kind of fuel into the chamber (pine needles, hessian, anything that smokes a lot when it burns), lighting it, then puffing the bellows to bring forth the smoke. The smoke has a calming influence over the bees, and helps stop them from stinging. The guard around the outside is to prevent burns via contact with the hot chamber.Metal circular canister with spout and metal struts which connect the canister to bellows. Bellows are constructed from leather and wood. Object is broken; bellows and canister are not attached.smoker, bee, beekeeping, beechworth honey -
