In April, the wild flowers blooming all over the mountains and fields are extremely delicate. For ordinary people, the wild flowers are of no use at all. The only advantage is that they are more beautiful. But wildflowers are sweet nectar sources for bees. This is the nectar flow period for bees. With the nectar source available to the bees, the bee colony can produce a large amount of honey.
Liang Chuan changed his direction during the special training in the forest. Instead of running to the old tree where he marked yesterday, he ran to the bamboo forest where the beehives were placed. The weather is getting hotter now, and warm weather is the season with the highest probability of swarming bees.
The weeds covering the beehive in front of the bamboo forest have long since turned yellow. A large number of bumblebees outside the beehive are gathered on the outside of the front wall of the beehive and under the door pedal. They are densely packed with hard-working bumblebees, crawling in and out.
After the current bumblebees saw Liang Chuan, they would not attack Liang Chuan like they did last time when they robbed the hive. Instead, they were quite satisfied with the new home Liang Chuan had given them, and they were very busy going in and out. The abdomen of the honey-sucked bumble bee is inconvenient and cannot use the stingers on its buttocks. The originally crazy bumble bee has become docile in this season of bee swarming.
Liang Chuan just looked at the situation of the beehive from a distance, and saw a large number of bumblebees flying around at low altitude in front of the beehive. fruit
Now we are ready to divide the bees.
Seeing this, Liang Chuan hurried down the mountain and called Zhaodi who was looking gloomy. Zhaodi reluctantly said that he was like a walking corpse these days, unable to do anything. Fortunately, the new house was almost built and it was time to make preparations. All the materials are already in place and are just waiting for the masters to process them. Zhaodi doesn't understand these masonry and carpentry tasks, and he can't understand them even if he's watching from the side.
I just stayed at home these past few days in a daze. Liang Chuan told him to stop being distracted and that he had important things to do now. Brother Zhao didn't know what was going on, but looking at Liang Chuan's expression, the matter was undoubtedly urgent.
Liang Chuan asked Zhaodi to go to Fengshan to buy two pieces of gauze for mosquito nets and two bamboo hats. Zhaodi took the money and went to Fengshan to buy gauze without asking. Liang Chuan went to trouble Zhao Jinyu's apprentice again. The first beehive was made by Zhao Jinyu's apprentice, and the craftsmanship was quite simple.
There were some leftover materials from the last beehive making, and the wood blocks in the yard were used. The young apprentice and Liang Chuan started sawing together for a long time. By the time the sun set, Fuqiang had driven out all the materials. Liang Chuan worked overtime at night and slowly put the beehives together.
When Zhaodi came back from buying gauze from Fengshan, it was almost dark. He saw Liang Chuan playing with the square wooden box again, and his body trembled. This is not the 'small coffin material' that I carried when I went to the mountains to dig out honeycombs last time! The last time I was stung by a bumble bee, my brother came back and wiped a big pile of cow dung. It took several days for the pustule pricked by the bee sting to subside, and he was in a miserable state. Ugliness is secondary, but the most important thing is that the wasp sting really hurt. Thinking back on it, Zhaodi couldn't help but cover his face.
"Third brother, you don't want to dig out the honeycomb in the mountains again, do you? Let me tell you, no matter what you say this time, I will not accompany you to take risks, absolutely not!" Zhaodi said firmly without any hesitation. room.
Liang Chuan lowered his head and just focused on building his own beehive.
Taking a moment, he raised his head and smiled at Zhaodi and said: "I was scared last time too. Hehe, it hurt. I couldn't bear it. But it's fine now. I thought of a clever plan that will allow us to go well and have a good time." Come back!"
No matter what Zhaodi said, he would not be deceived by Liang Chuan's tricks. If he talked to Liang Chuan again, he would go around him later and follow Liang Chuan stupidly. In that case, he would really be a fool. Zhaodi squatted at the foot of the wall, constantly reminding himself, don't be fooled, don't be fooled, it's all a lie.
Liang Chuan had the experience of making beehives once, and he was able to do it the second time. In a short time, the wooden
The beehive is assembled. Liang Chuan picked up the bamboo hat and gauze bought by his brother, cut the gauze and put it on the bamboo hat, let the gauze hang down naturally, gathered up the tassel tail of the tent and tied it tightly, it was an anti-bee mask to keep away the wasps! It can keep the bumblebees out of the mask and allow you to see what's going on outside the gauze.
"Want to eat honey?" Liang Chuan asked seductively.
"Third brother, please stop tempting me with honey. I don't want to, and I won't eat it even if I beat myself to death. If I don't eat the honey, everyone will be stung to death!"
Liang Chuan picked up the bamboo hat and put it on Zhaodi's head. "Try wearing this bamboo hat. I'm sure no mosquitoes will bite you wherever you go tonight. Just go outside and try it." Liang Chuan carefully helped Zhaodi put the bamboo hat on. Tie the gauze bottom tightly, leaving no gaps for mosquitoes to take advantage of.
There are the most mosquitoes by the stream, and a cow used to be sucked into dried meat. Zhaodi wore the bamboo hat and walked to the stream half-heartedly. As soon as the mosquitoes by the stream smelled the smell of human blood, they all went crazy and swarmed in. The buzzing sound of mosquitoes next to Zhaodi's ears was so loud that it hurt his ears.
The black mosquitoes saw that the delicious food was right in front of them, but a gauze blocked their way and they could not move forward.
. The originally snow-white gauze was now covered with a large number of black mosquitoes, all of them were desperadoes who wanted to take a sip of blood. Zhaodi was frightened by the sight. He had never felt that there were so many mosquitoes by the river before, but today he saw them.
stunned.
After Zhao brother came back, he excitedly talked about how mosquitoes couldn't drink his blood. Liang Chuan pursed his lips at him and said, "With this protection, even small mosquitoes can't sting you, let alone bumblebees. How about it, do you want to go with Third Brother to taste the local honey tomorrow?"
Zhaodi was a little moved by the words, and had an uncertain look on his face. He was really afraid of the bumblebee's stings, but he couldn't help opening his mouth. As the saying goes, it's as sweet as honey, and the taste of honey is still very tempting.
"Let's talk tomorrow, third brother..."
The next day, Zhaodi skillfully helped Liang Chuan carry the beehive. He cut a bamboo hat and took some thick cloth with him and went up the mountain. After thinking about it all night, he still couldn't resist the temptation of honey. There's no fun in recruiting younger brothers now, so I just have to eat.
Liang Chuan waited for all the women in the village to come down the mountain before going up the mountain. He didn't dare to let outsiders discover his beehive. If they found it, he wouldn't be able to drink any honey, and even the box would be gone.
The younger brother Zhao was deceived by him. He still doesn't know what honey tastes like, but he has been stung a lot. In fact, the bumblebees will not attack at this time, because each of the bumblebees has honey in their mouths in preparation for building a new nest.
Yesterday when we went up the mountain, although the beehives were commotion, the queen bee hadn't appeared yet. Liang Chuan, who relies on the natural bee separation method, didn't know whether the bees would be willing to go to the new beehives he made. If they didn't go, it wouldn't be in vain. Students majoring in beekeeping have communicated with him. If natural methods don't work, artificial methods are used. The effect is similar, but it directly accelerates the development of bee breeding.
Although the current bumble bees are less aggressive, Liang Chuan is not a beekeeper, and he has no idea. If any of these bees does not have a secret mouth, Liang Chuan will be greeted with either honey or poisonous pincers! For safety reasons, Liang Chuan first put on his anti-bee hat, and wrapped his hands and other exposed parts tightly with thick cloth.
When Zhaodi saw that he was serious about it, he quickly armed himself with his skills. The purpose of bringing so many guys is to prevent myself from being stabbed again. If I don’t use it now, I won’t wait until later.
Liang Chuan divided a box group into two box groups, and took off the weeds covering the boxes. As soon as the grass was lifted, the land bees knew that someone was invading their territory, and the bumble bees on the nest door It started to get restless, and then the bumblebees in the box began to pour out from the nest door and pounce on the intruder who invaded their home.
What Liang Chuan is most worried about now is whether the gauze tent can withstand it. If the gauze holes are too big and one or two needles get stuck in, it will be too late to cry.
The gauze hat on Liang Chuan's head was soon filled with bumblebees. The bumblebees climbed up and down on the gauze, waiting for an opportunity to find a soft spot to give Liang Chuan an injection. However, after crawling for a long time, there was only a layer of cool gauze. , and without warm flesh, there is no way to inject the needle!
Brother Zhao was shocked to see that Liang Chuan's body was now completely covered in bumblebees, and there was not a single clean spot on his body. The head was even more horrifying. There was no white left on the white gauze. The head looked like it was covered with worms, making one's scalp numb. Zhaodi was so nervous that he couldn't speak, but Liang Chuan was still moving quite freely, brushing away the bees that blocked his sight from time to time, which made Zhaodi's palms full of sweat.
Liang Chuan removed the old box, moved it one foot to the left of the original location, and placed the newly made empty beehive one foot opposite. Lifting the lid of the box, it turned out that these industrious bumblebees had established a kingdom in the empty beehive, and the entire beehive was full of reproduction. The bumblebees inside swarmed out. Originally, the bumblebees surrounded Liangchuan. Now, within one meter of Liangchuan, there were all buzzing and circling bumblebees.
Liang Chuan took out half of the combs from the old beehive, along with the bumble bees and the queen bee, and put them into the empty box, and tidied up the two boxes of hives. When the flying bumblebee returns to its nest, it will be surprised to find that the nest is missing! According to the same kind of pheromones, some of them were forced to fly to the left and some to the right to fly into different beehives on both sides.
When Liang Chuan just took out the honey spleen, he took the opportunity to collect some honey. Later, he would go to the mountain to find another queen bee and lure him into his beehive. Now that your own bumble bees have adapted to the habits of the beehive, it is best to use them to divide the bees. If you continue to use the old method, not every hive of bumble bees will be willing to stay in the box, and there is a certain risk.
Liang Chuan and Zhaodi ran to the small honeycomb they encountered yesterday and used the honey on their hands to lure the queen bee into the hive. The newly lured queen bee was afraid of surrounding the queen bee, so she had to spray some water on it to make the smell disappear. After staying in the new hive for a long time, the scent of the new king will slowly be accepted by the original bumblebees.
Liang Chuan and Zhaodi were running wildly in the mountains and forests in strange clothes, and no one noticed them, otherwise the rumors of savages appearing in the mountains would alarm the officials again.
Zhaodi and Liang Chuan worked hard all day, but in the end, they couldn't even taste the taste of honey.
