Beekeeper Willi Gaisbauer uses a bee smoker to envelop himself and the children from Luitpoldschule in Mering with smoke. One child exclaims, "It smells almost like pizza in the oven." The smoke is intended to calm the bees during the second graders' visit to the teaching apiary at Meringer Badanger. Willi explains that if a bee stings, it marks the victim with pheromones, attracting more bees. The smoke helps prevent this, although one boy still gets stung and exclaims, "Ouch, that hurts!" Willi quickly uses a small device to contain the venom, reassuring the boy, who is eager to observe the bees buzzing around the hive.
