Yes, Beedi, Cigarate smoke also kills bees especially at night times No, smoke does not kill bees. In times past, wild bees lived in or near woodland, and to them smoke meant one thing: forest fire. Their reaction to that was to gorge themselves with honey in case they needed to swarm in a hurry. Beekeepers make use of this primitive instinct by puffing some smoke into a hive they are about to open because a bee that is full of honey is much calmer and less likely to sting.

What do they use to make the bees sleepy when collecting the honey?

Beekeepers use smoke. It doesn't make the bees sleepy, but it does calm them. Originally bees were a woodland insect, living in holes in trees. When they sensed smoke it meant only one thing: forest fire. Their reaction was to gorge themselves with honey and be ready to fly off to find a new home if it became necessary. When a beekeeper puffs a little smoke into the hive, the ancient instinct kicks in and the bees gorge on honey. The result is the bees are calmer and more docile, and less able to bend the abdomen down to use their sting. Probably rather like we feel after a heavy meal.
