>We use as many as 10 fume boards at a time.

When we pull honey on 100° days, two strong beekeepers are lucky to keep up
with 5 fume boards!  If we miss a step, we've got bees pouring out the
entrances.

We use BeeGo in cooler weather, benz in warmer.

I also dislike the noise of the blowers, but find them useful to blow the
remaining bees out when we're pulling deeps.
