Warm air and hot air rises.  On a smoker not being pumped, air is drawn in
the small bottom hole as warm air rises out of the top larger hole of the
smoker. This is how a chimney works.  There is no suction into the top hole.
Bees are powerful flyers it takes alot of vacumn to pull them into a shop
vac.
    I have seen bees intensionly fly into a smoker several times.  It has
always been an angry bee.  I won't speculate on why they do this, only the
bees know for sure.
