Ruth Rosin provides a very interesting that the "suicide bee" got sucked
into the smoker, but I have to respectfully stick to my original post that
the bee flew into the dark hole of the smoker because bees are attracted
towards dark spots (like your eyes).  I have see bees fly into  the spout of
a smoker MANY times; no puffing, no sucking ... well, it DID suck for the
bee, but the bee was not sucked into the smoker.
