Morning All, (and 'Afternoon' to the rest of you)
 
I have a question. One of the purposes of the use of smoke is to confuse
or mask pheromone communcation between bees so that an agitated bee can
not warn its fellows. Do not essential oils have the same property ? If
so has anyone noticed nice peaceful bees when using these compounds ?
 
Or am I dreaming (#57) again.
