Chen Song knew that there were beekeepers in his hometown, and every spring and summer he would go out to find a bee colony, and use beehives to lure worker bees to fly in and bring them back.

However, the local police station did not let this happen, because the beekeeper would take the beehive and run to the vicinity of the bee place where the peers put the bees to abduct the bees, which led to a lot of conflicts, and the police station was so annoying that they simply banned this matter.

Iceland will certainly not ban bee trapping nationwide, but Chen Song wonders: "Are there many bees in this country?"

Goble glared and said, "Of course, Icelandic honey is the best honey in the world." ”

"Then what is our Chinese honey ranking?"

"It's the best," Gible adds, "and there are quite a lot of bees in Iceland, and you'll see them when the flowers bloom, and you can see fireflies when they come." ”

Hearing this, Chen Songle was happy: "And fireflies?"

"That's right, otherwise why would our town be called Liuhua? It's because there are so many fireflies. ”

From the next day, Miss Luo Fatdun officially began to work, and Goble went to buy a beehive, and then returned to the manor to drive out to find the bees.

Chen Song temporarily raided the knowledge of bee breeding last night, and he asked unconfidently: "Are there bees in the wild now?"

Iceland's high latitude, long winters and low temperatures, strong westerly winds, difficult for bees to nest, short summers, and low bee breeding numbers, in fact, are not suitable for bees.

However, because there are many wildflowers on the island and the pollution is light, the honey produced is of extremely high quality, and the demand exceeds the demand in the world.

The Icelandic government has released bee colonies into the wild and invested funds in relevant scientific research work, trying to do deep processing of honey, extending the industrial chain, and increasing the added value of products, so as to occupy a foothold in the international honey industry.

Spring is the first peak of bee colony activity.

But it's still a bit too early, bees are ectothermic insects, and they basically lose their activity when the ambient temperature drops below 13 degrees Celsius, so Chen Song thinks that he will go to the wild and find bees.

Goble was full of confidence, he slapped the steering wheel after getting into the car, and the horn of the pickup truck screamed miserably, which frightened Brother Dao, who was basking in the sun in front of the car, to run out.

Chen Song gave him a punch: "Fa Yuyou, don't scare Brother Dao." ”

Brother Dao saw that it was Goble who was honking, so he yelled at him angrily: This rice bucket grabs his leftovers and dares to scare himself, don't you know whose territory this is?

The pickup truck drove out and drove straight out of town to the east.

"I don't know where you like to stay in the bee colony, but in Iceland, as far as I know, there are three factors in the hive site, one is the sun, the second is the tree, and the third is the water source......

"Isn't there still a need for flowers?" Chen Song said.

Goble wiped his nose and said, "When the temperature rises, the wastelands of the southern region are full of wildflowers. ”

The southern region is the hottest place in Iceland, and it is now in the mid-teens during the day, but Chen Song still thinks that no bees will come out now.

Pickup trucks were speeding on the road, and there were really few people and cars in the Icelandic countryside, Chen Song looked ahead, and the road stretched forward like a black silk belt, as if it stretched all the way to the sky.

Occasionally, you can see a farm in the wilderness, and the local farm mainly grows pasture, and after the grass is harvested, it cannot be sold on the spot before it is packed, so there are many mounds of grass scattered throughout the fields.

Unlike the usual white grass packaging in other countries, the grass packaging here in Iceland is pink or sky blue bags, which look cartoonish and beautiful.

It's not that Icelanders have a girl's heart, it's a public welfare project, and the two colors of the bag have an extra meaning, pink for breast cancer and blue for prostate cancer.

Farmers can buy pink or blue grass bags for a little more than white grass bags, and the difference will be donated to cancer patients.

After about half an hour of driving, Goble stopped and pointed to the rolling hills in the wilderness and said, "I bet there are bees here." ”

It is a small hilly area, with many small mounds scattered on the ground, and between the mounds grow green grass and several lupinflowers.

The flowering period is from March to May, when they are gradually in full bloom, and the flower colors are white, yellow, pink, red, purple, and of course, blue.

"If you're going to open a ranch in the future, you can come here and harvest the lupinflowers, and they can be used as fodder, which is very good," Goble said. ”

Indeed, the seeds of lupin flower are concentrated feed with high protein content, and the stems and leaves are mainly used for green fodder and grazing, and can also make excellent silage, which is a good feed for pigs and dairy cows.

Chen Song didn't speak, he got out of the car and looked at the green hilly area, the strings of towering Lu Binghua dazzled him, even if there was no wind blowing, he could feel a faint fragrance of flowers lingering on the tip of his nose.

The flowers are gradually charming to the eye, and the asakusa can have no horseshoe.

He couldn't help but walk towards the Lu Bing flowers, and after a while, he really saw a few flying bees!

Then he looked at Goble in shock and said, "God, this is really a god!"

Goble said proudly: "How is it, I'm amazing, right?"

"It's just amazing! It turns out that you also have advantages, what Xing Ye said is right, even a pair of underwear and a roll of toilet paper have its use!" Chen Song couldn't help but sigh.

Gobble scratched his head, "I know you're sarcastic about me, but I'll take it as a compliment." ”

"It's not sarcasm, it's a joke!

"It doesn't matter," Goble laughed, "that I was able to find this place because I used to come here to find the hive to steal honey to eat. Come on, release the hive and prepare to lure the bees, and then let's go find the hive and move the hive to it!"

Chen Song said as he walked back: "It stands to reason that the temperature is not the temperature at which bees are active, how can they fly out?"

According to what he learned last night, bees do not go out in low temperatures, and they will stay in the hive close to each other and form a spherical ball to protect themselves from the cold.

"Because the bee colonies here have their nests in the mounds, and there is an abundance of geothermal energy in the surrounding ground, and the temperature inside the nests is right, they are still alive," Goble said. ”

I see, Chen Song suddenly realized.

Green grass and lucin flowers can grow here in early spring in March, which should also be related to geothermal heat, and the soil temperature is suitable, so grass and flower seeds can always germinate and grow faster.

Goble put the beehive down, and the two of them changed into bee-proof suits again, and found a beehive in the hills.
