 4. Use Smoke to Make the Bees Less Aggressive

The beekeeper depicted in the photo is using smoke to calm bees so that he can extract honey from their hive.

You will not want to get extremely close like he is, but using even the small amount of smoke that you collected in a container can make bees become convinced that a fire is nearby.

This will cause them to eat a lot of honey, which renders them less able to attack.
