After making up his mind, Xu Yi began to think about how to raise this bee. Judging from these existing things, there are other things besides the beehive, and there is no need to buy any bee equipment for such a group of bees, which undoubtedly saves money, worry and trouble.
Xu Yi turned his gaze to the two beehives he replaced, and then slowly shook his head, don't waste these two beehives, let's find another way to solve the problem of this beehive.
The two beehives are suitable for breeding black bees, and if you want to use them to raise bees, you have to remake or modify them regardless of the nest frame or the nest door.
These two boxes are originally old, and they may fall apart after such a toss, and even if they don't fall apart, the workload is not small. Of course, if there is no other idea, then this box will be changed if it is changed, but these two boxes Xu Yi has other uses.
If you have bees in your own space, if you go home by yourself in the future, you can breed them casually and raise some bees at home.
This is not only a better way to disguise the honey taken out of the space, but more importantly, the bees collect nectar and pollinate are good for crops and fruit trees to improve yields, even if they raise bees and do not plan to collect honey, the bees will collect nectar and pollen by themselves, which is also indirectly helping the villagers to increase production and income, which is undoubtedly a very good thing.
Under natural conditions, how can the bees not be as exaggerated as the swarm potential in the space, then these two beehives can naturally be used, and now they are used by the bees, and they will have to make beehives again in the future, which undoubtedly takes a lot of time.
What's more, I still want to hang the bee trap cage here along the river, and if I really receive the bees again, I will have to remake the beehive. It's better to make a beehive for them at this time.
After I figured it out, it was a question of what kind of beehives to make. Since we are planning to manage extensively. He didn't plan how to harvest honey, Xu Yi simply prepared to make a relatively simple lattice beehive. As long as the bees are put in the hive, they will create their own spleen.
After Xu Yi sat on the edge of the workbench and calculated, he drew the shape of the beehive he needed on the paper, then checked and modified the corresponding number jΓΉ to determine the structure of the beehive, and then took two boards and put them on the workbench to draw.
After drawing the line, Xu Yi quickly sawed the boards with a saw, and then took an electric drill and hammer and assembled them with nails. It was made into more than a dozen square wooden frames more than one foot wide and half a foot high, and this is the basic structure of the beehive.
The rest is the same as an ordinary beehive, and then the upper cover and bottom of the beehive and the base are done, and the whole beehive is basically done.
The custom of bees is to put honey in the hive in a relatively high place, and lay eggs in a lower place, as is the case for black bees, Italian bees, and medium bees.
Stack them on top of each other and stock them with bees, and they will naturally make hives from top to bottom. As long as the colony is well developed. And the source of powder honey is abundant, and as the hive extends downward, there will be a hive full of honey left in the hive.
If you want to take honey, just take a wire and cut it from the place where the hive is connected. In this way, the top hive can be removed and separated from the bottom beehive, so that you can get a full box of "all-natural" nest honey.
Of course. As the hive extends downward, the hive naturally gets heavier and heavier. If the hive is not reinforced, it is easy for the hive to fall out of the hive due to gravity. Naturally, this will have to be strengthened and fixed again.
Xu Yi took an electric drill and drilled small holes in the positions marked on the board of the beehive, and then went to get a bamboo pole back, split it into thin bamboo strips, and repaired it so that the bamboo strips could penetrate into the small holes.
Such a beehive can be considered completely done.
After disposing of all the beehives, Xu Yi stopped, got up and entered the tent.
When he came out again, he took a few more pieces of nest honey in his hand.
After taking the wax pot and finding the only remaining beeswax to melt inside, Xu Yi put the top cover of the beehive upside down on the workbench, revealing a fence-like inner board nailed with wooden strips of the same width on the inside of the lid.
Xu Yi used a wax dripping pot to coat a layer of beeswax on the middle of a wooden strip in the middle of the inner board, and took advantage of the fact that the beeswax did not cool, took a piece of nest honey and stood up and pressed it on top of the beeswax and gently pushed it a few times, so that the gap between the nest honey and the wooden strip was completely filled with beeswax, and when the beeswax cooled down, the nest honey was firmly stuck to the wooden strip.
Repeating this process until a piece of nest honey was glued to each stick, Xu Yi stopped.
Reaching out and bringing over a beehive, Xu Yi removed a few bamboo strips on it and buckled them directly on the inner board. Xu Yi took the bamboo pole again, re-cut a few bamboo strips with the same thickness and a little longer than the previous bamboo strip, and sharpened one end.
Xu Yi took a sharpened bamboo stick, threaded the sharpened end through a hole on the outside of the beehive, carefully penetrated each piece of honey, and then pierced the hole in the wall of the beehive opposite, and then removed the bamboo strip that grew out of the beehive, Xu Yi stopped.
Although this is the nest honey of the black bee, it is enough for the Chinese bees to eat it for a period of time, so that they can recreate their own hives based on these nest honeys, so that they can reproduce and grow the bee colony.
The gap in the middle of the inner board is exactly the spacing of the bee road, and the width of the wooden strip is also exactly the thickness of the honey spleen, so that it can naturally ensure that the bees will not make the hive crooked, which is conducive to the use of space in the beehive.
Xu Yi took a look, directly folded the beehive and moved it to the side of the vegetable near the light curtain, and then carried the beehive out of the space.
Hang the bee cage on a hook under the canopy, and the rest can only wait, as the so-called Taigong fishing wisher takes the bait, when will there be bees flying over, this is not something he can say.
Xu Yi walked to the edge of the carton containing the bees, gently picked up the carton and took it to the room, then closed his eyes and appeared directly on the edge of the freshly made beehive. Xu Yi gently lifted the lid of the carton and poured the bees inside directly into the hive with the residue. After checking the cardboard box and not finding that the queen bee was left in the cardboard box, Xu Yi carefully covered the beehive and opened the nest door below.
It didn't take long to see bees flying out of the hive, and the remaining bees in the carton also flew to the hive as if they got some signal, and got into the hive, waiting for the bees to return to the hive, and then there were bees flying out of the hive, landing on the crops next to it and starting to collect pollen and nectar.
Xu Yi smiled, this was indeed done, turned around and walked to the two boxes of black bees, and checked it.
There were still very few bee carcasses on the multicolored cloth as before, and there were basically no bees to collect honey, and it was clear that the hive was full of honey again.
It's just that there are so many bees, if you only rely on the small amount of pollen and nectar in the vegetable field in front of you to survive, it is obviously unrealistic, now that the pollination problem has been solved, Xu Yi still decided to plant some big trees now, to supplement some backup nectar sources for the bees.
Thinking like this, Xu Yi took the plastic bag with some yellow barberry seeds and some linden seeds, and walked towards the place where the tree was to be planted.
Xu Yi planted more than a dozen barberry and linden trees at a distance of about five meters on the edge of the light curtain, watered them all, and then went into the tent and fell asleep. (To be continued......)
