Yes, Beedi, Cigarate smoke also kills bees especially at night times No, smoke does not kill bees. In times past, wild bees lived in or near woodland, and to them smoke meant one thing: forest fire. Their reaction to that was to gorge themselves with honey in case they needed to swarm in a hurry. Beekeepers make use of this primitive instinct by puffing some smoke into a hive they are about to open because a bee that is full of honey is much calmer and less likely to sting.

∙ 14y agoIn the wild bees evolved as woodland animals, and to them smoke meant only one thing: forest fire. They reacted to this by eating as much honey as they could ready for a hasty exit should they need to find a new home.
Beekeepers make use of this primitive instinct by puffing a little smoke into a hive before they open it. Bees that have filled their stomachs with honey tend to be much calmer (think how you feel after a large meal...) and are less able to sting because they find it difficult to bend their abdomen down.
