Bee Smoker Fuel Pellets (54 pellets)

Smoker pellets are compact fuel sources designed for bee smokers, helping beekeepers produce a steady, cool smoke to calm their bees during hive inspections.
These pellets are made from natural, organic materials—often medicinal herbs—that burn slowly and consistently, creating a mild, pleasant-smelling smoke.
Unlike loose fuels like pine needles or burlap, smoker pellets offer a controlled burn, lasting around 15 to 20 minutes per pellet.
The smoke encourages bees to move away from areas where beekeepers need to work, making hive management smoother and safer.

– Place a small amount of crumpled paper or dry twigs at the bottom of the smoker and light it.
– Add smoker pellets – Once the kindling is burning well, add a few smoker pellets on top. Puff the bellows gently to keep the fire going.
– Maintain the smoke – Keep puffing the bellows to ensure a steady stream of cool, white smoke. If the smoke starts to thin out, add more pellets as needed.
– Use the smoker – Direct gentle puffs of smoke at the hive entrance and around the frames to calm the bees before working with them.
– Extinguish safely – When finished, close the lid and let the pellets burn out, or dump the remaining fuel into a safe, fireproof container.
