Thanks for the post, Malcolm. I'm in complete agreement. If one watches
the bees carefully, they will tell you exactly how much smoke is necessary.
Re liquid smoke, I also strongly question whether it will remain disruptive
to the colony for an extended period of time.
Granted, when bees are on a nice nectar flow, one can often work a few
colonies slowly without smoke. But when one is working hundreds of hives
every day at a rapid clip, without any protective gear, one can reduce the
number of stings to zero by judicious use of smoke.
