Comment on Bees don't have lungs.

Beekeepers burn paper, woodchips, or really anything that burns well that they have on hand (that isn’t toxic). Source: Have used smoker while handling beehives.

That makes sense after reading up more I believe I’m wrong I feel like I’d heard that they used nicotine and hadn’t fully researched and took it at face value. Thabks for the information!!

Looking around there does seem to be people who use tobacco. I guess poisoning the bees probably makes them more docile 😅 Still a bad idea though
