In about ten minutes, Liu Daodao had already arrived with a bee bucket. He looked up a few times, and said with some envy: "****, as far as your kid's luck is concerned, my new bee bucket has just been made for less than a month, and I have specially brushed it with beeswax." I was going to go up the mountain in two days to collect the earth bees, but you used it first. ”

"It's okay, I'll help you make another one in two days. Liu Daode responded with a smile.

", can the new one be used? I need to recuperate for more than a month. Liu Daodao said and stretched out his head to the neem tree to take a closer look.

Unlike the bees raised by beekeepers, the native bees in the mountains are particularly sensitive to smells. Therefore, the old bee bucket is generally used to collect bees, and the newly made bee bucket must be boiled in water for half a day, and then smeared with beeswax to remove the smell after drying.

Even then, there is no guarantee that the smell of wood will be completely masked. Why do many people put the bees in the box and look at them two days later and are surprised to find that the bee colony has flown away again. One of the reasons for this is that the bee bucket was not well chosen.

In addition, the soil bee also has a characteristic, the flowers of plants that have been sprayed with pesticides are rarely picked, and they usually pick wild flowers. Also because of this, the honey yield is very low, and it is cut at most twice a year. Too many times, and the colony will perish.

"Strange, isn't this thing stinging?" Seeing that his head was only forty or fifty centimeters away from the bee cluster, Qiu Fei asked curiously.

"Don't sting now," Liu Daode also understood this, and explained: "They will bring some dry food with them before leaving the nest, and they will not attack with honey in their mouths." ”

"That's it" After listening to the explanation, Qiu Fei finally dared to pull his son to a closer look. Of course, he didn't stop with the camera in his hand, intending to capture the rare scene.

If you want to collect the bee colony, you must first find the queen bee, and this guy is the key. As soon as the queen bee is caught in the bucket, the other bees will automatically follow. After searching for two or three minutes on the surface of the bee cluster, Liu Daodao nodded with satisfaction: "I found the queen bee, I can collect the group, do you still have honey at home?"

"Yes, I'll go back and get it" I just cut honey once last winter, and Liu Daode didn't have time to call Lin Xiaotong at all, and most of it was bought by tourists who rushed to hear the news. In the end, there were two bottles left, and he said he didn't sell anything. gave Lin Xiaotong a bottle, and kept some at home, mainly soaking in water to drink.

From the previous year to now, there is still a lot left, and Liu Daode has brought it all.

Liu Daodao took the honey, poured some into the wall of the barrel, and then sprinkled a lot on the lid of the barrel. After the preparations were done, I climbed the neem tree, chose a suitable position, and rode on the branch with the lid in hand.

Then he placed the lid of the bucket on top of the bee colony, and broke a neem branch to gently drive away the bee colony. This action must not be too big, otherwise it will surprise the swarm.

Liu Daodao has not collected bees once or twice, and he is skilled in business, so there are no accidents in doing it.

I saw the bee colony slowly break away from the branches, and finally most of them were transferred to the lid of the barrel and condensed into a large mass again. He carefully held the lid of the bucket down the tree and put it in the bucket.

The remaining bees on the branches could not find the organization and began to fly around.

These don't care at all, and later they will naturally follow the scent of the queen bee into the barrel.

"Where are you going to put this bucket of bees?" Liu Daodao leaned his ears to the wall of the barrel and listened, the bee colony was still buzzing inside, obviously not yet fully stabilized.

"Let's also put the backyard wall root, the front yard is often visited by tourists, in case it stings people, it's not good. Liu Daode thought about it and replied.

"That's fine, but you'd better keep an eye on them for the past two days and don't let them fly away again. Liu Daodao admonished.

The bees are not finished in the bucket, the next step is to see if they adapt to the environment in the bucket. If the environment isn't right, these guys will fly away and find another location.

Next, Liu Daodao helped to place the bee barrel again. This is also a particular point in that the bee bucket should not be attached to the ground. If it is too close to the ground, it is easy to get damp and the honey will be stolen by other animals.

After everything was settled, Liu Daode looked at the time, it was already noon, and said that he would not let Liu Daodao and Qiu Feiye leave.

There is no shortage of meat and vegetables in his yard, and he casually tinkers with four dishes. There are still two bottles of wine left from the wine sent by Mr. Guo last time, and you can deal with it when you take it out.

After eating and drinking enough, chatting in the courtyard for a while, Liu Daodao and Qiu Feiye returned to the village.

After cleaning up the table, Liu Daode remembered the matter of the calf, and hurriedly went to the courtyard to change another place with grass.

He is completely lazy to raise cattle now, feeding a bucket of brush pot water mixed with bran in the morning, and tethering the cattle outside to graze in the middle of the night, moving them several times during the period, and then feeding another bucket in the evening.

Now it's warm and there's grass everywhere. For a whole day, you don't have to worry about it.

The calf moved its position, and Liu Daode began to dig lacquer. This thing is so common in the countryside that people basically ignore it. It is the first time that Liu Daode has so many people on the Internet asking for it...... At noon, Lin Xiaotong sent a message, another customer, directly asking for eight catties.

He was already thinking about digging up more lacquer and drying it in the courtyard when he had time in the past few days. Otherwise, when the season is over, I won't be able to sell it. In addition, there are urushi seeds, you can also collect some and plant them in the autumn. This thing is something that cows don't eat sheep or eat, and it can be planted anywhere.

Together with native eggs and pheasant eggs, a total of four items today, sales have set a record, exceeding 200.

Speaking of wild eggs, Lin Xiaotong had already planned to go to this project, but more than a dozen pheasants at home did not lay eggs, three or four every day, which made her depressed and helpless.

Until not long ago, the batch of pheasant chicks hatched last year opened their nests one after another, and the number finally came up.

When Lin Xiaotong learned the news, he immediately began to sell pheasant eggs in Dibao, and today is the first business.

After digging urushi, go to the backyard to collect eggs.

Liu Daodao's selection of eggs now belongs to "one touch", as long as the eggs are held in his hands and released his divine sense, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the breath of life.

It's straightforward and time-saving.

Four pieces of goods, the bicycle could not fit at all, so he had to go to the village to borrow a human-powered tricycle, half riding and half pushing to the town.

The express was sent, and Liu Daode did not return to the village immediately, but turned his head to the egg store and slipped back the duck that he had bought with help. The spring duck breeding plan was put on the agenda, and Liu Daode went to the street to buy ducks every time he came to the fair, but unfortunately he went several times in a row and only bought three.

No way, there are not many people who raise ducks in Shannan Town. In addition, now that spring is in progress, it is the time for the female duck to lay eggs, and there are very few female ducks sold in the market.

Later, he had to say hello to an acquaintance in the egg store and let the family see it and help buy it. I got a call in the morning and bought two ducks and asked him to come and pick them up.

Liu Daode was removing cow dung at that time, so he pushed it to the afternoon.

This acquaintance is Liu Daojun's sister, who married on the street a few years ago, and her home is next to the egg shop.

When he was about to arrive at the door of someone's house, he thought that it was inappropriate to come to the door empty-handed, so he specially bought a version of the children's milk at the small shop next to him.
