Xu Yi recalled the things in the books and Zhu Zhiwen's notes little by little, and excluded them all the way.

The first thing that can be ruled out is that the queen bee is too old, and the possibility of the queen bee laying eggs declining, or even stopping production, seems to be somewhat reliable.

According to the assumptions of the outside world, this queen bee has been in the bee colony for more than a year, but after all, this space cannot be judged completely according to common sense, those worker bees who should have died a long time ago are still alive and well, how can this queen bee age?

The queen bee eats royal jelly, which contains highly active substances for bees with excellent health care and life extension ability, which is also the reason why the life span of the queen bee can reach dozens of times the life span of worker bees, and it is also the most favorable guarantee to ensure the development and growth of the bee colony.

The quality of your own honey can be better than that of the outside world, can this royal jelly be worse than the royal jelly of the outside world?

What's more, I checked it just now, this queen bee is not old at all, and it is obvious that it is not caused by the aging of the queen bee at all.

After ruling out this, the reason that was also ruled out by Xu Yi was that the queen bee was not fertilized enough, and the queen bee's belly was still large, and if there were no fertilized eggs, the queen bee's belly would be deflated, which was obviously not the reason.

Another reason for the discontinuation of the queen bee can also be directly ruled out, which is certainly not because the bee spleen is too old.

These spleens were just brought in last time, and it is estimated that there have not been many bees until now, and some hives on the edge of the hive spleen are even snow-white, so I can't help but suspect that these hives have not bred bees at all.

As for the situation that the outside temperature is too high or too low, and the source of the guide is reduced, this can also be ruled out. I haven't cut down the linden trees yet, and I'm not at all motivated to watch the bees in the hive. Apparently the hive is probably filled with honey again.

In addition, it can be ruled out that the bees are fleeing because of the peculiar smell of the beehive or the breeding of bee mites, which affects the development of the bee colony. Worker bees are also restless and stop collecting honey, and the queen bee stops laying eggs.

When all the larvae have emerged, the whole swarm of bees flies out of the hive and rebuilds the nest.

But before the bees were good, very quiet life, and attendance was also very diligent, as for bee mites, there is definitely no in their own space. The same can be ruled out.

As for the problem of bee theft or natural enemies, there will be a large number of bees at the door of the beehive because of the siege of the home and a large number of casualties, if you really steal bees, the vigilance of the bee colony will also be quite high, if you open the beehive like this, you will definitely be attacked by the bee colony, so these can also be ruled out.

As a social creature, a single bee, even a queen bee, simply cannot survive independently in its natural state for a long time.

In particular, a colony without a queen bee cannot sustain the population for a long time. After all, worker bees can also lay eggs, but they can only lay unfertilized eggs, and it is normal for the queen bee to have zài colonies, because of the influence of the external hormones secreted by the queen bee. The egg laying of worker bees was suppressed.

After losing the queen, the worker bees will lay eggs, and there will also be nurse bees to feed the worker bees that lay eggs.

However, the eggs laid by worker bees are not fertilized. Only drones can hatch, and drones can't collect nectar at all. Just eat and don't work.

It is clear that the laying of eggs by worker bees will increase the consumption of the colony. It will soon destroy a swarm of bees, so if there is no special reason, the worker bees will never abandon the queen bee and choose to stand on their own.

With the king board on his own, the queen bee can't get through, so she doesn't even want to run out.

If the queen bee can't escape, even the worker bees can only be forced to stop if they want to escape.

If the queen bee does not leave the hive, the situation of the worker bees waiting for the queen bee outside the hive will soon disintegrate, and the worker bees can only disperse and return to the hive, and the escape bee will naturally not happen.

Moreover, when you open the beehive, the bees are lazy and lazy to take care of themselves, which is obviously not like any kind of precursor to escaping bees written in the book, and this bee colony should not be trying to escape bees.

As for the situation of bee separation, Xu Yi also ruled it out.

I didn't see a drone hive on the hive, let alone how many drones came out of the hive, and the most important thing was that I didn't find out where there was a king or the residue of the king, which naturally could not have a new king hatch out, so it was impossible to naturally divide the bees.

But in any case, it is not normal for the queen bee to suddenly stop laying eggs.

After these reasons were ruled out, Xu Yi became more and more dazed, and it was obvious that he had encountered a problem that could not be explained by book knowledge!

Xu Yi couldn't think of a clue, so he could only continue to wait and see, waiting for the subsequent changes.

Re-put on the partition board, Xu Yi didn't care about this beehive for the time being, went to the edge of the stack of relay boxes as usual, opened the big cover, and checked the relay box from top to bottom.

Xu Yi thought that if there was no honey in the trunk on the top of the trunk when the beehive was opened last time, and the trunk below was full of honey, the order of the trunk could be reversed.

The bees find that the hive above the spleen is vacated, and if there is a source of honey from the outside, they will go to collect honey again, filling the hive that is not filled with honey.

This will also allow them to stock up on more food and handle their follow-up work more calmly.

However, after cleaning up the gauze net, Xu Yi was stunned when he pulled out the nest frame in the relay box.

This time, the beehive is one layer higher than the last time, and the top layer of the box is equipped with a newly made nest foundation, but what was it like when it was installed, and what is it that is drawn out now, there is not a single bee on this nest foundation!

Of course, if there is any difference between this nest frame and the previous one, it is that the bottom of this nest frame is covered with a lot of beeswax and propolis.

Xu Yi took a look, these propolis and beeswax basically completely blocked the bee path, which could only allow air circulation, which was not enough for the bees to go up to the top.

Obviously, the bee didn't even want to come up to the box, no wonder he felt that the mesh was much cleaner than the last time he was treated.

After cleaning up the nest frame, Xu Yi hoisted this layer of relay boxes on top of the beehive, and it didn't take long to see bees at the door of the hive one after another. Sure enough, this is the honey in the nest, and I don't panic, and I don't panic, and I see that there is no honey on the queen bee area. Apparently the colony is busy collecting honey again.

Thinking like this, Xu Yi bent down and pulled out Zhang Chao's spleen from the relay box he had just placed. Seeing that there are already a lot of bees busy building their nests, it is obvious that they are also in a hurry to fix the hives and wait for the nectar to be contained.

Xu Yi smiled, this also proves that this worker bee strike and queen bee strike are two different things.

Putting the nest frame back, Xu Yi turned around to deal with the relay box in front of him, and after pulling out the nest spleen, Xu Yi saw that the situation on it was really similar to last time, the hive was built, but the honey was still only contained in the lower half. The upper half of the hive is empty, and this is not much higher because there are more bees in the hive than before, it is obvious that the upper edge of the cover honey is the maximum distance for the bees to hide honey, and the height of this layer of the relay box can also be determined to be the limit height of the bee nest.

After handling this layer of relay boxes, Xu Yi also hoisted it on top of the relay box next to it, and then dealt with the following relay box.

Not surprisingly, the honeycomb of the three-layer relay box below was full of capping honey, so Xu Yi just took care of the spleen and propolis and hung the relay box back, and then covered the beehive. This honey has been enough for bees to eat for a long time.

If you open another beehive as well, the situation is the same for both beehives.

The queen bee in this hive also stopped laying eggs, which made Xu Yi feel a lot more relieved.

Apparently. This is not an isolated case, and in this case, there is only one more plausible reason left: the number of bee colonies has reached its limit!

And this. It is likely that the queen bee is unable to command more worker bees.

It's about the same as that box, and the top two layers of the beehive are about the same.

The only thing that Xu Yi can't be sure of is that. The topmost trunk of this beehive is its own nest frame after shaking honey.

Perhaps it was because there was a miserable amount of honey left in the hive, and the bees came up and trimmed all the hives. So this hive is neat and tidy, and the height is the same.

But that's all, these hives are also blocked by propolis and beeswax under the nest frames, and even the next layer of hives is also only filled with honey about the same height as another box, and it is not much higher because of the residual honey in the hive.

Xu Yi quickly finished tidying up the beehive, returned to the table, and found a notebook to record some counts.

These are the scales that you need to master when you make beehives by yourself in the future.

After inspecting the beehives, Xu Yi was sure that the linden tree could be cut down, and he didn't have to worry about the bees collecting honey.

If they don't collect the hive, the tree is gone, so they should also find other sources of honey to collect, isn't this just the right way to achieve their goal?

Thinking like this, Xu Yi took out the box of the electric chain saw, opened the manual and read it carefully.

Especially those precautions, Xu Yi read them several times without saying anything, and made sure that he had completely memorized these things, so he threw them aside, took out the parts from the box, and assembled them according to the legend on the manual.

After assembling it, Xu Yi checked it again. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, Xu Yi took out the lubricating oil and added it to the chain with an oil can.

Xu Yi heard that the kind of automatic oiling electric chain saw is easy to have problems, so he bought this kind of manually lubricated electric chain saw, think about it, the more functions, the more complex the natural structure, the greater the possibility of problems, this is at most the use of more than ten minutes need to stop the machine qì, and then refill the oil, it is not a big problem at all.

Xu Yi turned on the electric chainsaw, turned on the safety, and pressed the switch.

Xu Yi only felt that his hand vibrated violently, and with a buzzing sound, the chain of the electric chain saw drove the sawtooth to move at high speed on the guide plate.

Xu Yi turned off the switch, picked up a small wooden strip from the ground, fixed it with a vice, and then took the electric chain saw, turned on the switch, and sawed it at the wooden strip.

No matter how horizontal or vertical, how to saw, the result made Xu Yi very satisfied, the sound of this electric chain saw working is not too loud, and the speed is very fast.

Of course, the wood is thinner and drier, or it will be more difficult to cut the wet wood later, but this can only be known through work.

Xu Yi unplugged the electric chainsaw, and walked towards the linden forest with a cable reel in his other hand.

The cherry tree Xu Yi is not ready to move for the time being, after all, there is not much pollen and nectar in this thing, and it has little impact on him, so he can cut it down when necessary, and he still cut down all those linden trees first.

However, when he walked to the edge of the woods, Xu Yi smiled bitterly and returned to the tent with an electric chainsaw and a cable reel.

This tree can't be cut down!(To be continued......)
