  "term": "Smoke blower",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A device used in beekeeping to pacify honeybees before inspecting a hive, also known as a bee smoker. It consists of a fire chamber for burning fuel like burlap or pine needles, a bellows to pump air, and a nozzle to direct the smoke. The smoke masks alarm pheromones released by guard bees, reducing the colony's defensive response and making the bees less likely to sting the beekeeper.",
