MET 072817 LOHRMAN SMOKE

Tribune-Star/Joseph C. Garza
They will follow you: Andy Lohrman uses his smoker to create a larger cloud of smoke as he leaves a set of supers or hives on Friday at his home near Brazil. When honeybees detect smoke they will consume as much honey as possible since they believe a forest fire will destroy their home but in reality they become more docile since they are full. Andy had to keep smoking as he walked away since a few bees were still agitated and continued to follow him.
