Video Transcript

"What you want to do is stay on the sides of the bee hive, not to approach the bee hive through the front like this because the bees are coming in and out and you can provoke them that way. So what you want to do is come on the side as much as possible. If you need to go through that’s fine, but do it more on the sides if you want to work with the bees. The way to use the smoker is to approach and smoke the parts where you see bees- not only the entrance- you do the entrance of course, but there are sometimes open spaces so you smoke them first before opening the bee hive. To open it, you smoke, and then open. See? You first smoke, and then open. Don’t open first and then smoke because as soon as you open, the bees will come at you. "
