Description
Although
farmers
have
long
cultivated
beehives
to
help
wild
bee
populations
fertilize
their
crops
,
advances
in
agricultural
technologies
after
the
Civil
War
produced
greater
crop
yields
, and
apiculture
, or
bee
keeping
,
became
almost
a
necessity
to
aid
in
pollinating
these
larger
acreages
.
Bees
were also
valuable
for the
honey
they
produced
. The
bee
smoker
created
smoke
in a
small
fire
pot
,
which
could
be
enhanced
with
attached
bellows
. With a
portable
supply
of
smoke
on
hand
, the
farmer
could
daze
the
bees
and
thus
safely
harvest
their
honey
.
Leaves
,
pine
needles
,
cotton
rags
, and
burlap
would have been
used
to
create
the
desired
amount
of
smoke
without
producing
sparks
or
flames
,
which
could
easily
kill
the
bees
and
damage
the
hive
. "The
Woodason

is
printed
on the
back
of this
smoker
,
which
measures
