Chapter 101: Failed to Capture the Black Bees

Ling Zikai looked at the tools that Su Guoer was holding.

A conical cage made of thin rattan, more than 40 centimeters long and more than 30 centimeters in diameter, the bottom of the cage is open, the tip of the cone is closed, and it is tied to a wooden pole more than five meters long.

Sugol said that this is a bee cage, as long as the bee colony is driven into the cage, it can be used as a temporary hive, let the bee colony stay inside, and then take it home.

At the same time, he also brought a wooden pole more than four meters long, with a broom tied to the top, and I don't know what it was used for. Ling Zikai didn't ask much, anyway, he would know when he saw it.

In addition, a bucket was prepared with water mixed with honey.

There are also protective things such as hoods and gloves made of gauze to protect the body from being stung by bees.

In fact, these tools are redundant to Ling Zikai, as long as he uses his consciousness to control the queen bee, what problems are solved.

The reason why Ling Zikai still called Su Guoer and asked him to collect the black bee colony naturally had deep considerations.

Since the beauty cream is planned as one of the pillar industries of the forest farm, it is inevitable to set up a black honey base, and the work of raising black bees cannot always be operated by oneself! And without the ancestral consciousness to control the queen bee, ordinary beekeepers simply cannot artificially raise black bees.

The problem that Ling Zikai wanted to solve was to enable ordinary beekeepers to master the daily feeding methods of black bee colonies.

And Sugol was the first beekeeper he had to train.

When I came to the woodland where the ginseng was planted, the black bee colony still stayed in the forest.

To Ling Zikai's surprise, those black bee colonies had already divided into eleven teams and built nests on eleven trees. Ten of the hives are arranged in a circular circle, guarding a larger hive in the center.

Ling Zikai released his consciousness and found that in the outer hive, the leader of the bee colony was the queen bee who had hatched with the energy of the ancestral god, and her body had obviously grown a lot. The number of bee colonies in the nest has also increased considerably.

Ling Zikai secretly estimated it, and found that after a few days, the number of bee colonies had doubled compared to when they were first brought out of the Tiger Leaping Stream.

This is too fast to reproduce!

The startled Ling Zikai shifted his consciousness to the hive in the center. Staying inside was the queen bee who was called the Bee Emperor by Zhang Hao, although she maintained her original body shape, the luster on her body appeared more shiny and full of majesty.

Perhaps sensing Ling Zikai's consciousness, the Bee Emperor, who was originally lying quietly on the royal platform and not moving, raised his head and looked around suspiciously.

Ling Zikai did not alarm the Bee Emperor, and quietly withdrew his consciousness from the hive.

By this time, Sugol had already armed himself, and wore a fur hat on his head, and a circle of scarves hung along the brim, covering the entire head and the exposed neck.

He also wears leather gloves on his hands. There is not a single bit of skin on the whole body.

The hives were built on branches four or five meters above the ground, but fortunately there were two wooden poles.

Sugol sprinkled some honey water on the cage and placed it on top of the colony, which was facing the colony.

Afterwards, Sugol dipped the broom in water and sprayed a small splash of water on the colony to calm the colony. Use a broom to gently drive away the swarm.

After being harassed, the black bees began to leave the bee colony and fly upward, just entering the bee cage and clustering together.

Gradually, nearly two-thirds of the colony entered the cage, and the queen bee was revealed in the remaining colony.

Sugor knew that when it came to the most critical moment, as long as the queen bee entered the bee cage, it would be considered done. So more carefully, gently sweep the queen bee's body with a broom.

The harassed queen bee only moved slightly at first, not wanting to leave. But under Sugol's constant harassment, he became a little irritable, vibrating the bee wings and leaving the colony.

Just when Sugor was expecting the queen bee to fly into the bee cage, he saw that the queen bee circled around the mouth of the bee cage, and suddenly flapped her wings and flew away from the bee cage, and flew down towards Su Guoer.

Sugor hurriedly swept at the queen bee with a broom. But the queen bee seemed to be spiritual, and seemed to recognize Sugol as the culprit who stabbed her honeycomb, and her flying body avoided the broom's obstruction, all the way down.

At the same time, when the queen bee suddenly left, those black bees suddenly messed up and began to fly around. After finding the location of the queen bee, they moved closer to it.

Seeing the queen bee leading the swarm of bees flying towards him, Su Guoer was stunned for a moment, and then after an exclamation, he threw away the wooden pole in his hand, turned around and ran, and shouted to Ling Zikai at the same time: "Brother Kai, get out of here!"

Ling Zikai didn't expect the swarm to suddenly attack Su Guoer, and when he saw that he was starting to flee in the wilderness, he followed unhurriedly.

However, something even more amazing happened.

Just as the swarm on this side attacked, the queen bees in the rest of the hive seemed to have received the signal and flew out of the hive one after another, leading the swarm to chase in the direction of Sugol's escape.

For a while, there was a loud buzz in the forest, and there were flying black bees everywhere, and the sound was huge.

Ling Zikai looked at it in his eyes and was surprised in his heart. Could it be that these queen bees have received a unified order?

Seeing that the black bee swarm was about to catch up with Sugol, if he was really surrounded by them, Sugol would definitely suffer.

Ling Zikai hurriedly released his consciousness and began to lock on to the ten queen bees in the bee colony.

However, with Ling Zikai's current ability, he could only control one queen bee, and although the rest of the queen bees were also shrouded in the scope of consciousness, he could not command them.

Now it's going to be bad!

After feeling a little tricky, Ling Zikai suddenly remembered the bee emperor entrenched in the center, and quickly let go of the control of the queen bee, sweeping the meaning to the beehive in the center.

At that moment, he saw that the huge bee emperor had also flown out of the hive, but instead of leading the swarm to attack, it hovered above the hive. It's like a commander in command of thousands of troops and horses watching the development of the entire battle situation.

Ling Zikai didn't care if the Bee Emperor commanded the attack or not, and after controlling it with his consciousness, he directly issued an order to recall the Queen Bee.

I don't know how the bee emperor gave the order, but I saw that the ten chasing queen bees stopped in unison, and then took the lead in turning around and flying back.

The rest of the bee colony, after some confusion, followed the queen bee.

In the blink of an eye, all the bee colonies were back in their nests, and only a few scattered black bees were left in the forest.

The frightened Su Guoer looked at the beehives in the forest blankly, and said: "My mother! I'm scared to death! Brother Kai, these black bees must not have received military training!"

Ling Zikai withdrew control of the Bee Emperor, and for a while he felt a little unbelievable.

It's hard to do now, who else can wait for these black bee colonies but yourself!

At this moment, I saw Lin Xing'an and Zhang Nan walking over from the other side of the mountain forest. Seeing Ling Zikai and Su Guoer staying outside the forest, he walked up to say hello.

"Sugol, why is your face so pale, is something wrong?"

Zhang Nan asked curiously.

Sugor recounted what had just happened.

Li Yan said: "I just said that this black bee cannot be raised in captivity, you should believe it now!"

Lin Xing'an looked at the eleven beehives and said, "It seems that these black bees want to settle down here." In fact, if they don't leave and live in this mountain forest all the time, it is no different from captivity. Moreover, honey harvested in this pristine environment has a higher nutritional value than that of captive-raised. ”

Ling Zikai's heart suddenly brightened when he heard this, and he said secretly: "Yes, as long as there is honey produced, why do you have to raise it in captivity? I just need to use the ancestral god energy to hatch some more queen bees to expand the number of bee colonies, and then when the honey is harvested, lead the bee colony away and let people harvest the honey." This is the same as planting ginseng, although the cultivation of garden ginseng is easy and the yield is also very high, but how can the price be compared with the understory ginseng!"

At this moment, Ling Zikai seemed to touch the core idea of the development of the forest farm.
