But now this matter has to be solved, the bees don't come to collect honey, and send it to the head office themselves, right?

Xu Yi didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and once again used the method of destroying flowers with his spicy hands, and directly picked a dozen roses from the rose tree, which were large and full of flowers.

Xu Yi held these roses and walked carefully to the edge of the cherry tree, but Xu Yi didn't dare to go over when he was close to the beehive, and from a distance of four or five meters, he directly threw the roses next to the bees who were busy on the cherries.

As a result, I only saw that the bees did not bird the roses at all, and were concentrating on fighting with the cherries on the ground, and even the bees three or five centimeters away from the roses were only frightened when the roses fell, and after flying for a while, they felt that there was no danger, so they continued to fall back to the ground and continue to stumble with the cherry peel.

Until these roses were absorbed by the ground, and not a single bee went to collect nectar on the roses, it was obvious that the virgin Xu Yi was defeated in the first round!

Xu Yi was helpless, so he had to get out of the space and open the book to check it again.

After a long time, Xu Yi reluctantly closed the book, it turned out that he thought that the roses were pleasant, and he must have attracted bees to like them, which was simply wishful thinking and useless work.

In the book, the section on nectar source plants makes it very clear: bees collect nectar because there are nectar glands in flowers, and nectar glands are exocrine tissues that secrete nectar from plants, which are transformed from epidermal cells. The nectar secreted by the nectar glands can lure insects to pollinate, which is a kind of adaptation of plants to insect vectors. Plants rely on this "nectar gland" to attract insects, so that insects can get nectar and pollen because of their activities at the same time, making pollination possible. In addition, even for carnivorous plants such as pitcher plants, they can even use the scent of honey secreted in their bottles to attract insects to crawl inside, wait for them to be drowned, and then rely on some proteases and other things secreted in them to digest and absorb the insects.

However, not all flowers are insect-borne flowers, and those plants that are not insect-borne flowers have not evolved nectar glands at all!

Xu Yi couldn't help but fall into deep thought—could it be that this rose was not an insect flower at all, and there was no nectar gland at all?

However, there was no answer to this question in the book at all, Xu Yi could only open the computer and go online to check, but after querying, Xu Yi was surprised by the results found.

Not only do roses have no nectar glands, they don't secrete honey, and they even have very little pollen!

Not only that, even Xu Yi is also very tempted, yearning for it, thinking about when the osmanthus planted in the space also has no nectar glands, so the "osmanthus nectar" and "rose honey" on the Internet are obviously not the kind of honey he imagined at all!

Xu Yi thought of osmanthus, can't help but think of Hangzhou, and the provincial city to osmanthus as the city tree is different, to the West Lake famous in the world, Hangzhou, is to camphor as the city tree, but osmanthus as the city flower, even the new West Lake ten scenes have a scene called "Manlong Guiyu".

Manjuelong, also known as Manlong, is located in the south of West Lake in Hangzhou, in the natural village under the confrontation between the south peak and the white crane peak, and is a valley.

Five generations after Jin Tianfu four years, Manjue Long built Yuanxing Temple, the Northern Song Dynasty Zhiping two years changed to Manjue Temple, Manjue means "perfect enlightenment", the place is named after the temple.

On the side of the mountain road along the way, there are more than 7,000 osmanthus plants, including golden osmanthus, silver osmanthus, dangui, four seasons osmanthus and other varieties. Whenever the golden autumn festival, the pearl Ying Qiong tree, a hundred flowers compete for beauty, the fragrance floats for several miles, refreshing people's hearts.

If the dew is heavy, often the osmanthus is sprinkled with the wind, dense as raindrops, in the laurel bush of people, bath the "rain" and wear incense, there is no interest, so it is called "full of long laurel rain".

And the fat man in the name of Hangzhou, is a fanatical fan of osmanthus food, every time he comes home, he must bring a variety of osmanthus related food, what osmanthus cake, osmanthus crisp, osmanthus sugar and osmanthus wine have been brought.

But Xu Yi thought about it carefully, this fat man who likes sweets really never brought a drop of osmanthus nectar!

What are the "rose honey" and "osmanthus nectar"?

Xu Yi couldn't help but be suspicious, searched directly on the Internet, and finally found a more reliable statement: using rose petals and white sugar to boil rose honey, using white sugar and osmanthus to make osmanthus nectar, these two traditional sweets.

It's just that these two things are artificially made, and they have nothing to do with honey at all, and people sell honey, which obviously won't be this thing at all!

Xu Yi also found that the cherries in his space are constantly blooming, and the bees are not starving to death because of this, and there is naturally a little nectar in this place, but the rumors on the Internet are: cherries and peaches of the Rosaceae family are also extremely small in nectar, and a small amount of collection is naturally no problem, but it cannot form a commercial scale at all, let alone tens of thousands of bottles of honey in those online stores!

It's just that where did such commercial things that are sold on a large scale come from, and are all these things fakes?

Xu Yi couldn't help but guess: these things are either ordinary honey mixed with rose essence, osmanthus essence or peach blossom essence, or it is very likely that they mean something else.

All merchants are secretive about rose honey, which is probably the biggest possibility of blending flavors that the state will never allow...... Thinking like this, Xu Yi kept typing various relevant keywords on the Internet to search.

Osmanthus nectar, Xu Yi finally found the source.

The merchant's online store claims: osmanthus nectar, also known as wild osmanthus nectar, is a rare honey species.

This is the wild osmanthus nectar collected from the deep mountain old forest that blooms and secretes nectar in winter, the aroma is rich and warm, pure and elegant, the taste is refreshing and fresh, sweet but not greasy, the color is white and transparent, and the crystallization is delicate. Known as the "King of Honey".

Wild osmanthus is mostly produced in deep mountains and old forests, flowering and nectar secretion in winter, and the temperature is low, most of which are collected by bees. The aroma is rich and warm, pure and elegant, the taste is refreshing and fresh, sweet but not greasy, the color is light yellow, the crystalline is delicate, and the color of the whole crystal is milky white. Excellent taste and known as the "king of honey".

Then the website said that wild osmanthus is a camellia plant, distributed in the southwest and southeast provinces, HB, JX province, FJ, GZ and other places are more concentrated, is also a rare Chinese herbal medicine, "Dictionary of Chinese Medicine" record: wild osmanthus "dispelling wind and dampness, treating joint pain...... its active ingredient chrysanthemum has been proven to have a good nutritional health effect.

At the same time, osmanthus nectar also has the effects of clearing heat and replenishing the middle, detoxifying and moisturizing dryness, and protecting the skin, which is deeply loved by people, and is the tribute honey of the palace in ancient times.

……

It seems that osmanthus is not a plant of the camellia genus at all, but should be the flower of the wood rhinoceros family, right?

This is because Xu Yi has studied the traditional Chinese medicine of osmanthus, of course, this cinnamon is not the "cinnamon" of "ten miles of lotus pond, three autumn laurels", and the latter refers not to the seeds of osmanthus - osmanthus seeds, but the elegant name of osmanthus.

At that time, the teacher deliberately told both of them again, and the cinnamon in Chinese medicine is the fruit of the Lauraceae plant Tianzhu Gui - and the skin of Tianzhu Gui is the legendary "cinnamon".

Guizi has the function of soothing the liver and relieving pain, and is used for liver and stomach gas pain, chest pain, flank pain, cold pain in the abdomen and other symptoms caused by liver and stomach disharmony.

But it doesn't seem right, I still remember that the fat man also told a few people about the origin of the name of the dish "Mushu Meat": in fact, this egg scrambled meat should have been called "Mushu Meat", just because the egg became pale yellow minced after being scrambled, like a piece of blooming osmanthus flowers, it was called, but it was falsely called "Mushu Meat".

Xu Yi now went to the authoritative website of the National Botany to search it, and found that it was still written there: Osmanthus, also known as Cinnamon and Rock Cinnamon, is an evergreen shrub or small tree of the Cinnamomum family. Not only that, people clearly write that osmanthus is dioecious, wind flower!

So, there is no doubt that this so-called osmanthus nectar is naturally not the honey that bees pick from osmanthus, thinking like this, Xu Yi searched for the word "wild osmanthus" again, and found that the osmanthus is also known as fine leaf vegetables, coastal cinnamon, wild osmanthus, is a plant of the camellia family, and this is indeed an insect-borne flower, and the origin is also consistent with the website, it seems, this osmanthus nectar of course refers to this!

This is a typical example of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and even a product is blatantly printed on it with a picture of bees collecting osmanthus flowers, do you dare to say that you are not a modified photo?

Why don't you learn instant noodles and write a blind eye-curing text in the bottom corner of the picture: "The picture does not match the content of the product, for reference only"!

Xu Yi flipped through it, and suddenly saw snow lotus honey, and even more "Tianshan snow lotus honey", Xu Yi was almost scared to pee!

Nima, this snow lotus herself has also learned, this thing is simply because the conditions of the origin are more harsh, so it is not a conventional Chinese medicine prescription at all, but it can be seen in some prescriptions of Mongolian medicine and Tibetan medicine, in recent years, some martial arts novels or legends on the Internet will be this thing fantasy myth.

And the snow lotus is simply a forbidden area of life that grows above the snow line, where can any insects live like this, and the snow lotus is not an insect vector flower, there is no nectar gland at all, how can this bee collect nectar?

After looking carefully, Xu Yi found that there was a problem here, this introduction is exactly the same thing, a small part is called snow lotus honey, and more is called snow fat lotus, but what is this snow fat lotus?

After all, he is a Chinese medicine major, although compared to the Chinese medicine major, the mastery of some drugs is not so profound, but Xu Yi thinks that he still wants to work hard, although he takes out fresh and unprepared medicinal materials, he may not really recognize what this thing is, unlike the identification and analysis of medicinal materials that the Chinese medicine major specializes in, but his ability to talk on paper is not worse than any student majoring in Chinese medicine!

It seems that he has not seen anywhere in this lotus genus There is anything related to this, even if the snow lotus is not a lotus plant, but a plant belonging to the chrysanthemum genus, in fact, if Xu Yi is asked to see the flower, this snow lotus looks more like a green-leafed purple cauliflower, not like a lotus!

But after finding some more information, Xu Yi almost vomited out his old blood!
