When firefighters at last put out the fire, Geant checked the hives on the stone roof near the back of the church. He was thrilled to see bees buzzing in and out of the hives once again. Smoke from the fire must have put the bees to sleep. They stayed in their hives until the fire went out. Beekeepers often use smoke to keep bees calm as they work around the hives. Smoke does not hurt the bees. And in this case, it may have saved them.
