Bee Smokers & Fuel

A good bee smoker is one of the most basic tools in a beekeeper’s kit — calm bees make inspections safer and less stressful for everyone involved. Bee smokers and fuel at Nixa Hardware & Seed Co include stainless steel smokers in standard and shielded styles, along with several smoker fuel options like cotton, burlap, jute rolls, and pellets. When it comes to fuel, the goal is a cool, dense smoke that stays lit — burlap and cotton are longtime favorites among experienced beekeepers for that reason.
