What Are Used Burlap Coffee Bags?
A used burlap coffee bag is a woven sack that was originally used to hold and transport coffee beans.
Because these bags were used in real coffee handling, each one may have different graphics, markings, cuts, wear patterns, and small imperfections.
Why Beekeepers Use Burlap Coffee Bags
Beekeepers use burlap as smoker fuel because it can be cut into strips, lights easily, and can produce a long-lasting smoke source.
When to use: Burlap smoker fuel is most useful during hive inspections when a beekeeper needs a steady source of cool smoke.
How It Works
Cut the burlap into manageable strips before loading it into a bee smoker.
- Dry burlap lights more reliably than damp burlap.
- Smaller strips are easier to load and control in the smoker.
- Cool smoke should be used sparingly during hive inspections.
Apiary Management Notes
- Pre-cut burlap strips before going to the bee yard to save time during inspections.
- Store burlap in a dry place so it is ready to light when needed.
- A few controlled puffs of smoke are usually more useful than heavy over-smoking.
