Dust in the Wild [9] (3)

Seeing this scene, Sour Apricot was also helpless. The only thing he could do was to command the sour jujube to quickly close the hive doors of all the beehives and cut off the passage between the inside and the outside world. It took more than an hour for the door of the nest to open the tiny crack, and the bees waiting to go out to collect honey and the bees that had returned with their burdens marched slowly. At this time, the beehive that had been robbed had long been unrecognizable. The queen bee is dead, and the rest of the colony is a mess.

Sour apricot sighed, this nest door can't be opened. If you open a big mile, there will be bees to steal honey. Not only is there no honey, but even the bee colony has been destroyed. It's a pity that this box of bees is useless. I'll have to wait for the queen bee in another box to come over in separate boxes. In the sun and moon of this bee, there are also good people and bad people.

The sour jujube was at a loss with remorse, and said, I was well-intentioned, but who wanted to make such a thing. In the future, even if you beat me to death, you won't dare to fiddle around anymore.

Shortly after the bee theft incident, another bee escape incident occurred. tossed the old brothers of the sour apricot to the point that they were breathless.

It was already past noon, and the sour apricot brought the sour dates home. Tell him to sleep at home for a while, and also take care of the housework. Sour Xing knew that the sour jujube mother-in-law had reached the point of going mad by praying for the sins of her late life. I rarely interfere in housework, and I can only rely on sour dates to get up early and take time to pick up.

At that time, Sour Apricot had just had lunch. When sleepiness hit, he lay down in the shack and was confused for a while.

When he seemed to be asleep, he suddenly heard an unusually reverberant "buzzing" sound outside the shack. At first, he didn't care. The sound of the bees fluttering will ring from the moment the door is opened in the morning until the door is closed in the evening. Usually, standing far away from the apiary, this "buzzing" sound can also be heard.

Gradually, Sour Xing felt more and more that something was wrong. Normally, this kind of voice would not be so loud and urgent. Today's voice is different, like a storm coming, and there is a lot of movement that overturns the shack and blows away the house. Sour Apricot got up with a grunt, glanced out of the shed, and was immediately stunned.

In front of a beehive not far from the shack, a large ball of bees gathered out of thin air, rolling towards the top of the beehive. As the scroll continued, a large chunk of torn bees dripped down. Around this sphere, dense bees flew in the air, and gradually converged closer to this sphere, causing the bee ball to roll bigger and bigger. The orb finally moved to the top of the hive, where it stayed for a short while, and was noticeably larger again. At this time, the entire beehive was no longer visible from the original wooden board, and was thickly wrapped in yellow and black bees. As the wings of many bees violently shook the air, a deafening loud sound rang out throughout the bee farm.

This kind of terrifying scene has never been seen before. He was already confused, not knowing what had happened, how it had happened, and how to stop it.

Just as he was stunned by the horror, the bee ball suddenly burst apart, and the thick bees scattered on the top of the hive like a tide, forming a small peak. In the blink of an eye, the ball of bees that had just been disintegrated suddenly burst into an oblique line after a wriggling tremor and shot towards a thick plane tree north of the bee farm. The diagonal line grew from thin to thick, and finally formed a large bee cluster. It was like a lump of soft mud that covered the sycamore, making the thick branches and leaves of the tree covered with yellow-brown bees like thin mud.

At this time, the stunned sour apricot suddenly remembered that the Jiaodong beekeeper had told such an example, that is, the queen bee escaped. According to the habits of bees, there can only be one queen bee in each hive. If there are more than two, the queen bee will fight to the death. The so-called "one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and one country is only allowed to have one king". There are very few cases of queen bees escaping, whether it is caused by a fight between queen bees, or whether there is some other unknown reason, and the family does not understand. But there is one thing, the family once told the sour apricot. Once this happens, the only way is to try some possible way to catch the queen bee back in the box, and the rest of the bees will obediently follow back to their hive.

Sour apricot understood, but there was nothing to be done. How to recruit the queen bee, he really can't think of a feasible way.

Sour apricots are sour apricots after all. In a hurry, he tore off his sweatshirt and stuffed it into the honey bucket that had just been stirred in front of the shack. He tied the sticky undershirt to a long bamboo pole and limped bare-chested and crutches under the plane tree. He cocked his toes and handed the honey-stained sweatshirt to the bee crowd, trying to lure the queen bee over with honey and send it back to the already empty hive. It's infuriating that not only is the queen bee not fooled, but also these countless bees are also ignored. They are still chasing and dancing around the disappearing queen bee.
