French to English translations [PRO]
Science - Livestock / Animal Husbandry / apiculture/beekeeping
French term or phrase: fumoir
"Materiaux d'apiculture (fumoir, vêtements, traitement contre varroa, hivernage)"

I'm under the impression it is the device with which you blow smoke on bees (yet I don't know what for...)

Thanks for the help!
