Gorging oneself

When you open a hive sometimes you will break burr comb.  Look at that crystal clear beautiful honey!  Probably clover or sumac honey.  A bee has a natural instinct to gorge themself. Why you ask? #1 reason, they are getting prepared to leave at a moments notice (smoke from a smoker acts like a forest fire, and you are tearing apart thier home), which actually makes them easier to work with. Don't you seem more dosile with a full belly? =)
