Bee tobacco - smokable ?

Camile · Bee tobacco - smokable ?

Hi,

We went to a small shop today, for bee supplies ... and the man sold us some bee's tobacco, and told me I could smoke it no problem ... just to be sitting down while smoking it because it can get you a bit dizzy. It's simply some unrefined tobacco.

I tried some straight on, and it's actually a good smoke, not referring about any dodgy smoke, but simple cigarettes ....

Much nicer than golden virginia and others ...

I didn't find any weird effects afterwards ...

so I was wonderring if anyone had any ideas if it was ok to keep on smoking some ... because at 6 odd euros the 500gr bag .. happy days !

Here is what I found on the web:
http://www.dave-cushman.net/bee/smofuel.html

"This by product from the tobacco industry consists of leaf stalks, thick leaf veins and tatty bits of tobacco leaf that have been rejected for use as recreational smoking materials.

This form of tobacco is most commonly found on mainland Europe, in use for bee smoker fuel. I believe that it is also one of the materials that are used in the German mouth powered "Imker Pfeife" type of smoker. I have not used this material myself, but I used to sell it when I was in business... It was a slow, but steady selling item. "

Thanks,
Camile

Just checking that you are still with us Wink

I thought you might have been overcome by an urge to gorge yourself silly on all that honey . Laughing

HEllo,

I'm still alive Very Happy

and I smoked more of that tobacco and it's definitely fine .. and a friend tested it too and found it ok as well ..

are we the only smokers here ? trust me .. that's a good deal ..

As for the honey, I didn't gorge myself silly but on friday we got some dandelion wax and honey (1,3 kg alltogether) from our hive.

They are thriving apparently, and they now have 2 supers on .. so there will be some bartering later on in the year. .

Tell you what , that bee tobaccco is quite a nice smoke . Not unlike Golden Virginia . Texture is more like sticks and leaves than it is like delicate strands but it is rollable .
You have to keep the rollie in a horizontal position until you light it or all the bits fall out of the end .
Other than that it is great Wink
