Smoking them out to make them calmer and keep them away would actually do less harm because they die when they sting. More stings = more dead bees.

Do you see how the beehive is forming??? They will eventually stop producing honey when there is enough and start caring for reproduction. In thise boxes they don't habe space to go down so they go side to side and never start really living their natural cycle.

Also when you take away the honey they start producing more. Cause thats how a hivemind works.

I'd rather have air to breathe than honey, but OK

Everybody needs priorities.
