French term

fumoir

French to English Science Livestock / Animal Husbandry apiculture/beekeeping
"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!
