There will be sweet, sugar-like things on the pine trees, Xu Yi has known this since he was a child.

There are several mountains in the village where masson pines are grown, and sometimes the pine needles and shoots at the tips of the branches secrete a slightly white and slightly viscous liquid.

When the liquid is dried by the sun, it turns into patches of pine candy with irregular shapes.

However, these things are not available every year, and sometimes after a rain, these pine candies disappear all at once.

Xu Yi was like the children in the village, if he saw pine candy on a tree, he would climb the tree to pick it and eat it.

This thing grows on the head of the branch, and even if the child is lightweight, it is easy to step on the branch, so if the parents find out, this fat beating will not be able to run away.

Even Xu Yi was beaten by Lao Dao because of similar things back then, but unfortunately now he wants to find someone to beat him, but no one beats him.

The taste of pine sugar is not as sweet as white sugar, nor does it have the characteristic floral aroma of honey, but has a faint pine flavor.

In retrospect, this pine candy should be the nectar secreted by the pine tree.

Nectar, which can be digested and absorbed by the human body, is naturally edible, and even in the European market, a large number of commercialized nectars are sold every autumn.

It's just that this thing is harmful to bees, thinking of this, Xu Yi hurriedly ran under the pine tree and took a turn, carefully looking at these pine trees.

After the inspection, Xu Yi was relieved, the pine needles and branches of these trees were clean, and there was not a drop of nectar.

Just like when I was a child, I didn't see pine candy every year, and I think that only certain varieties of pine trees produce nectar. Or maybe there are some special natural conditions needed to produce nectar, which this space does not have. So these Korean pines do not produce nectar.

Of course, Xu Yi will not feel any unhappiness because of the absence of this thing. I can't eat this honey for all, and I can save myself a lot of worry without nectar, and if I think about this thing, I will be able to eat enough.

There are observations, and there are natural discoveries.

In addition to not finding that manna was a small surprise, Xu Yi also found an unexpected surprise, but also expected.

The branches of these trees bear large and small pine cones, and the first ones are about the size of an adult's fist.

The pine cones are all turquoise, like carved jadeite. It looks like it won't take long to pick it.

But I don't know if it's because this tree is too small, there are not many pine cones on the tree, and there are almost a dozen of them on each tree like such a large one, and the most is only more than 20.

However, Xu Yi is already very content, after all, no matter how little, this is also a kind of harvest.

After inspecting the pine trees, Xu Yi walked over to the pile of bees and took off his shoes. Pick up the water slit and put it on your body.

Xu Yi was going to check the beehive again, and then inspect the space to see if there were any new changes, and then he had to quickly level the ground. It's time to plant vegetables.

Allowing bees to continue collecting pine pollen is a very disadvantageous thing for themselves.

I want to see the lifespan of bees, but this task is not completely completed. And because of this damage to the bees, it is likely to affect the accuracy of their own results.

So Xu Yi wanted to grow vegetables as much as possible. Increase the supply of nectar and pollen so that you wait until enough vegetables are ready to bloom. Bees will probably no longer collect pine pollen.

The reason why I was dressed neatly was because I was stung by a bee last time because there was a lack of honey in the beehive.

Now this bee is short of honey again, if it is not properly equipped, when checking the beehive, it is likely to be attacked by bees, and prevention is always the best solution to the problem.

Xu Yi checked again that there were no loopholes that could allow bees to get into his clothes, and then he walked towards the beehive with his things.

There were still only a few dead bees on the multicolored cloth, and it was clear that the changes in the space had not affected them much, at least not in the event of a mass bee death.

Could it be that the only thing that can affect this space is yourself?

Xu Yi cautiously walked to the edge of the beehive, but he was not attacked in any way, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

However, as soon as the hook was hung on the pull tab of the bottom layer of the relay box, the pull ring collided with the hook and made a clanging sound, and a low buzzing sound suddenly sounded inside the beehive.

After a while, a large swarm of bees poured out of the hive and swooped down towards Xu Yi, twisting their butts and saying hello one by one.

Soon, a layer of bees fell on Xu Yi's body, as if he was wearing a coat made of bees.

These bees crawled all over Xu Yi's body, and some of them arched their bodies, tentatively stabbing down with tail needles in various places.

Seeing this, Xu Yi secretly rejoiced, if he hadn't prepared enough, he was afraid that he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die this time.

Xu Yi carefully pulled the catty without falling, reducing the range of action so as not to hurt the bees on his body, and lifted the trunk up.

cleaned and inspected it as usual, and soon Xu Yi finished disposing of the beehives.

Nothing else has changed, except that there is more pollen on the spleens, and most of the hives are still empty and there are no eggs in sight.

It is clear that this queen bee is still not ready to lay eggs.

Xu Yi cleaned up the relay box layer by layer, and then put it back on top of the beehive.

Except for the trunk next to the beehive, many of the honeycomb wax caps have been bitten open by bees, and the honey inside has disappeared, and there is no change in the other layers.

After the two boxes of bees were ready, Xu Yi put everything back in his bee coat, took out a smoke drawer and lit it on his body.

Where the green smoke passed, bees flew up from Xu Yi's body.

However, these bees still refused to stay away, flying around Xu Yi in a group, but they refused to fall because of the smoke below.

It took a few more moments for the swarm to disperse and fly back towards the hive.

After checking his body and making sure that there were no more bees, Xu Yi took off his bulky equipment. Walk towards the tent.

Xu Yi found the soft thread that was no longer useful, and carried it to the edge of the "bathtub".

Xu Yi looked around. Go to a place on the edge of the "bathtub" where there are no trees or crops to obstruct you, and you can see the light curtain in the distance. I took a bamboo pole and stuck it on the ground, and then made a looper on the plug side of the soft wire and hung it on the bamboo pole.

Taking another section of bamboo pole, Xu Yi walked forward in a circle along the edge of the "bathtub", and let out the soft line in his hand little by little, trying to avoid the soft line hanging down in the middle from falling on the water.

Xu Yi walked all the way to the opposite side of the "bathtub", squatted down and tightened the soft thread on his hand, and stuck it on the outer edge of the "bathtub" and slid it in the left and right directions.

After repeating it several times, Xu Yi found the longest point where the soft wire was released and stopped, and inserted the bamboo pole in his hand into the ground. The line between the two bamboo poles is naturally the diameter of the "bathtub".

After making a mark on the soft line, Xu Yi walked back to the side of a bamboo pole from before.

Xu Yi took out the tape measure and measured it, counting from the root of the bamboo pole to the finished mark, just twelve meters.

Xu Yi then used a tape measure to measure the width of the edge of the "bathtub", which was exactly one meter, so that the diameter of the "bathtub" is now ten meters.

Then, Xu Yi folded the soft thread back from the mark, and then to the root of the live buckle and then folded it back again, folding it four times in a row.

Xu Yi looked at the rest and didn't have enough to fold it again. I also made a looper here, so that the length of the soft wire between the two loops is approximately equal to fifty meters.

There was no measuring rope, so Xu Yi had to use this soft wire to simply replace it, preparing to measure the approximate area of the space.

Space reappears. Xu Yi only noticed that in addition to the "bathtub" in the middle, which had obviously become much larger, the light curtain on it had become much higher, and the space had also increased a lot. And it's still round, and I don't know anything else.

In order to make better use of this space. Xu Yi is going to thoroughly calculate the area of this space and re-plan the planting pattern in it.

There wasn't much space before. I didn't think about how to use the space, so there was a lack of overall planning for the planting of things.

Basically, at that time, I was just planting where there was open space, so although the things in it could be roughly distinguished from what was planted, it was still very unreasonable to plant it in a mess.

However, at that time, there were only a few acres of land in the space, and it was easy to cut down or transplant all the trees when necessary.

Now this space has expanded so much at once, if you continue to mess up and plant randomly, I am afraid that when you want to correct it in the future, you don't know how to start, and it will also bring a lot of trouble to your future management.

So Xu Yi simply thought about not doing anything, and re-planned while he hadn't planted a large area yet.

Those trees and bamboos, Xu Yi is going to cut all those that can be cut, and move those that can't, and move them all to a house, so that the layout of each area in this space is more organized.

Xu Yi walked towards the nearest light curtain with the soft thread in his hand, and whenever the soft thread in the middle of the looper was tightened, Xu Yi inserted another bamboo pole in this place, and kept the bamboo pole and the bamboo pole on both sides of the "bathtub" in a straight line according to the method of three points into a line.

Xu Yi walked back to the edge of the "bathtub", pulled out the bamboo pole with the soft line, and then walked over the bamboo pole that had just been inserted with the soft line and bamboo pole, and then inserted another bamboo pole when the soft line was tightened again.

After repeating this, Xu Yi kept inserting the bamboo pole into the edge of the light curtain, and measured the length of the remaining soft wire, Xu Yi calculated that the radius of this space was almost 160 meters.

Xu Yi walked all the way back, pulled up all the bamboo poles on the ground, and prepared to find a way to measure the area of the previous space again.

He remembered that when he first came in, he had dug a pit almost half a meter deep at the edge of the light curtain, and tried to dig through the lower edge of the light curtain but failed, and he hadn't dealt with that pit since, so he must still be there, right?

It's just that the location of these four places is unknown, so Xu Yi can only look for them along the periphery of those planted trees.

After looking for most of the circle, Xu Yi found the dirt pit.

The outer side of the pit is as smooth and flat as a knife cut, and the inner side is still piled with the soil that I dug out in several directions.

Xu Yi took a look, fortunately, there was nothing to cover the pit in the middle of the edge of the "bathtub".

Holding a bamboo pole and inserting it into the pit, Xu Yi put the soil back into the pit and stepped on it, and then pulled the soft line to the edge of the "bathtub" in the middle.

Xu Yi found the shortest part of the soft wire, and it was obvious that this was the diameter. Xu Yi measured the length of the soft line, and it was just forty meters!

The current space radius is just four times that of the previous space, and the area has reached sixteen times that of the previous one.

Xu Yi did some mental calculations and quickly came to the conclusion that the current space area is close to 120 acres. (To be continued......)
