What does a beekeeper use to calm bees?

Kept a couple of hives in my younger days. Fantastic hobby, with great rewards.

have a friend in East Limerick Ireland a bee 🐝 keeper

Like horseback 🐎 riding & archery 🏹 ,No one knows for sure but the 2 skills had utilize threw out human history

Smoke would make me fall over! Idk how it calms bees down but I know I hate and dispise the smell of smoke.

I love bees it's so sad that they're decreasing
