"Da Mao, you've been shaking for so long, it's time for me. After about a few tens of seconds, the duckling couldn't wait to bark.

Seeing that the little ones were really rushing to shake the honey, Zhang Feng stood next to him and smiled, thinking that the world of children is so good, they can play with anything for a day, even if it is just a broken brick. Seeing these little guys, Zhang Feng had to sigh that his childhood was really unforgettable.

The little kids played around for more than ten minutes, and almost all the honey in the hive was separated, and finally gathered at the bottom of the honey shaker.

"Alright, alright, get out of the way of me to fill the honey. Zhang Feng took out seven or eight jars from the house, laughed and drove away the happy little kids.

"Oh, madman, let's play a little longer......" The little ones seemed to be addicted to playing, and found it very interesting to snort and shake the handle of the honey shaker, and some couldn't put it down.

"You don't eat honey, do you, go wash your hands, and I'll scoop a bowl of honey for you later." Zhang Feng smiled and knew that if he didn't give some sweetness, these little kids would definitely not be so obedient.

Sure enough, as soon as they heard that there was sweet honey to eat, the little ones scattered in a hurry, and immediately cheered and went to the water pipe to wash their hands.

Seeing the little guys' black little hands, Zhang Feng smiled and felt extremely kind, because Zhang Feng has been like this since he was a child, running all over the mountains, and his hands are covered with mud at any time.

Zhang Feng took the spoon and put the honey into a clean bottle one by one, and the golden honey was mixed with all kinds of floral fragrances, including the fragrance of chrysanthemums and the strong fragrance of osmanthus flowers...... There are many fragrances that Zhang Feng can not distinguish, it is really a delicious potpourri nectar, the fragrance is rich and the sugar is sufficient, because the wild flowers in the yard are watered by the hyphina auxin, so their own potpourri nectar also has a strong health care effect, and long-term use has huge benefits for the body of the elderly.

"Hehe, this harvest is good. Looking at the seven or eight bottles of golden honey on the ground, the old man came over and said with a smile.

"Well, there should be fifteen or sixteen catties!" Zhang Feng's face also showed a smile, and Zhang Feng scraped out all the remaining honey at the bottom of the barrel, and there was actually half a bowl, Zhang Feng directly handed it to the little ones who couldn't wait, and the little ones immediately cheered, and couldn't wait to take the chopsticks and dip them in the honey and stuff them into their mouths.

"Oh, don't you grab the little stone......"

"Little duckling, you push me again......"

The little ones were like chickens snatching food, chattering around the stone table for sweet honey, and the adults present shook their heads with laughter.

A total of eight bottles of nectar were harvested, Zhang Feng gave the old man four bottles, and the rest was kept at home, and the little girl must take one bottle away when she leaves at night, and the last three bottles will be soaked in water for her mother and eldest sister.

After everyone left, Zhang Feng took out tools and planks from the utility room and began to make two new beehives.

The beehive is the place where bees thrive and the most basic beekeeping tool in the beekeeping process. More than 100 years ago, Lang invented the live frame beehive, and then invented the nest machine and the honey separator together known as the three major inventions of bee tools, the use of beekeeping tools ended thousands of years of traditional beekeeping using soil nests, destroying the nest to extract honey production methods, laying the foundation of new beekeeping.

First of all, before making a beehib, you need to design the bee path and nest frame.

Among them, the bee road refers to the beehive** bee passage and air circulation space. In the beehive, it is the gap between the nest frame and the nest frame, and between the nest frame and the rest of the beehive. The bee path should be developed according to the habitual requirements of different bee species and by measuring the natural hive of the bees. The individual of the Chinese honey bee is slightly smaller than that of the western honey bee, and the bee path is slightly lower than that of the western honey bee.

The hive frame is an important part of the beehive, which is composed of upper beam, lower beam and side strips to support, fix and protect the hive, and its shape, size and number play a decisive role in the design of the beehive.

After designing the beehive, start to select materials, and make the wood of the beehive, which is strong and durable, lightweight, and not easy to deform and crack. In the north, white pine, red pine, paulownia, basswood, etc. are better. Dried fir trees can be used in the south, and there are a lot of them in Zhang Feng's house.

Later, when making the four walls of the box body, it is best to use the whole wooden board, so as to avoid rain for a long time, rainwater leakage of the box body, affecting the service life.

The outer wall of the beehive should be planed as flat as possible, and if it is not too troublesome, the surface of the beehive can also be painted with white paint or tung oil to make the beehive durable, insulated and moisture-resistant.

"Xiaoyue, you go to the utility room and help me take out that bottle of tung oil!" It took about an hour, Zhang Feng finally finished making the two beehives, as long as the tung oil was applied, everything was OK.

"Brother, where is the tung oil?" the little girl reluctantly approached the utility room, looked at it perfunctorily and asked Zhang Feng.

"Alas, I said that your eyes are in the sky, right, tung oil is in the corner of the wall next to the door!" Zhang Feng shook his head helplessly, this little girl just loves to be lazy, and she doesn't care about doing things so-so.

…………

"Xiaofeng is ready?" As soon as Zhang Feng finished, the old man walked in with a smile.

"It's done, old man, let's see if there are any problems!" Zhang Feng smiled and looked at the beehive he made, still full of a sense of accomplishment.

"Well, yes, the bee road and the hive box are all here, I'll teach you to divide the boxes myself!" the old man smiled, and then the two of them walked to the backyard with the beehives in their gear.

As the old man walked, he explained the skills of dividing boxes to Zhang Feng.

"The best time to split bees is between one and four o'clock in the afternoon. Because at this time, most of the worker bees will go out, then we can remove the queen bee from the hive, and then place the nest base and nest frame in the new hive, and finally apply some beeswax and honey to the hive, and when the bees return to the nest at night, they will enter the new hive. ”

"Xiao Feng, you put the new beehive over there, at least twenty meters away. ”

"Why, old man?" Zhang Feng asked curiously, isn't it a bit troublesome because it is so far away?

"Hehe, if the two beehives are too close to each other, won't they fly back on their own!" the old man explained with a smile.

After listening to the old man's words, Zhang Feng suddenly realized.

"It's good to understand, in fact, our dividing the box is to divide the queen bee into a new beehive, see if this is the queen bee......" Then the old man took out a huge bee from the hive and said to Zhang Feng.

"This is the queen bee!" Seeing this huge bee, Zhang Feng felt that he had really seen a lot, and today was the first time he had seen the queen bee.

"Hehe, of course, the queen bee is about one-third larger than the average worker bee, and the royal jelly it produces is a good thing, you have to remember, when we divide the box, not only do we have to separate the queen bee, but we also need to move all the several hives with larvae near it to the new hive. ”

"I know the old man!" Zhang Feng nodded, seeing the old man demonstrate it in person, and finally understood the essentials of bee boxing, and believed that he would be able to complete such a job alone next time.
