In Xu Yi's impression, he had never seen ginger bloom at all, he asked his godfather when ginger would bloom when he was a child, and his godfather told him that this thing would not bloom, and he had never heard anyone else say that ginger would bloom, so Xu Yi thought that this thing really wouldn't bloom.

In the autumn of Xu Yi's enrollment, every dusk, there was always a young man riding a bicycle carrying two large buckets of flowers to sell near major schools in the university town, two yuan a branch, which was very popular with girls in major colleges.

Xu Yi saw that the leaves and stems of the flower looked very much like ginger, and there were five or six small white flowers on the top, which looked very weak.

Xu Yi never knew that there was a flower called ginger flower in this world before he went to college, so he thought it was a ginger flower, but he was just wondering why his family's ginger didn't bloom.

I went back to the dormitory and talked to a few people about this thing, and said that this city is different from the countryside, and even the ginger flowers can be sold for money, but I wonder how the ginger I grew at home has never seen flowering before, is it a relationship between different varieties?

I knew that this thing could make money, so it was better to let the people in the village change the variety, which was a way to make money by collecting ginger and selling flowers.

As soon as Xu Yi finished speaking, he was laughed by Yan Peimin, and after listening to Yan Peimin's explanation, Xu Yi knew that this ginger flower was not the other "ginger flower", this kind of ginger flower with white flowers is like a butterfly, so it is also called butterfly ginger, white butterfly flower, and there is a very beautiful name called night cold Su, which is a freshwater plant of the genus Ginger flower of the family Lyceaceae.

Although ginger is also a plant of the family Floraceae, it is a general term for ginger plants, and this thing has nothing to do with ginger flowers. Yan Peimin also said that ginger would not bloom at all, and Xu Yi felt more credible about Yan Peimin's statement. After all, the land of Sichuan and Shu has been one of the main producing areas of ginger since ancient times, and people there say that there are no flowers. Then this ginger really shouldn't bloom.

The taste of ginger flowers is very fragrant and very clear, which is completely different from the strong ginger taste of this product, even if Xu Yi only thinks about it with his nose, he can know that this thing is a ginger flower.

Xu Yi didn't know what to do about this completely unfamiliar thing, after all, he didn't know whether this thing was an insect-borne flower or a wind-borne flower, or simply a self-pollinating plant, but he saw that there were bees flying in. Xu Yi thought to himself that this thing might be an insect flower, but whether the honey made from this thing would have a ginger smell, Xu Yi didn't know at all.

Garlic naturally does not bloom, but the head on the garlic moss will grow bigger and bigger, but this thing will absorb nutrients, and the garlic head below the garlic will not grow big, and garlic moss is still a rare delicacy, so farmers generally will never let this thing grow old and waste unless they have no time to take care of it. But just like that, Xu Yi also wanted to see what the garlic moss would become in the end, so he followed it as it grew.

Xu Yi finally walked near the beehive, where buzzing bees kept coming in and out of the hive door. There are no bees doing spleens outside the hive, and there are no bees fanning the wind at the door of the hive, so the temperature inside the hive should be okay.

Xu Yi was relieved. Go to the beehive and count the few dead bees on the multicolored cloth. Memorize the quantity and get it to the ground.

Wait for Xu Yi to walk to the edge of the workbench again. I saw that the honey in those bee spleens had disappeared, and only some of the nest spleens that had been bitten to pieces remained.

Xu Yi took the scraper, cut off all these nest spleens, and then put them all into the iron bucket containing beeswax yesterday.

After all, if there is more of this thing, it can be used to melt beeswax, and it takes about eight catties of honey for bees to make a pound of beeswax, wouldn't it be a waste if they were thrown away so freely?

Cutting honey will also cut out a lot of beeswax lids, but overall it is still a little less, this is still saved, just keep it next time, and this also needs heating equipment, there is not enough electricity in this space, I am afraid that my own rice cooker will not be able to bring it, it seems that next time I really have to find a place to buy a 500-watt electric stove, think about when I really have to buy some solar cells back.

But these things are not in a hurry, Xu Yi is going to open the beehive to get honey, he has been in love with this for a long time.

Before opening the beehive, Xu Yi thought about it and checked the beehive again, for fear that if a bee flew in, it would be very dangerous if he was not careful.

The hive door under the beehive was blocked by Xu Yi, and the top was also covered, so it was safe, and when the lid was lifted, a few bees flew out of the vent of the lid, obviously these little things wanted to get into the beehive to steal honey.

Seeing this, Xu Yi was relieved and brought over the honey shaker and the filter bucket.

As he read more books and saw more things on the Internet, the more Xu Yi felt that he was buying these things really cheaply.

It can be said that Zhu Zhiwen buys the most expensive and best things when they buy things, just like this honey bucket is made of stainless steel, and this thing is heavy in his hand, and it feels very thick to the touch, and it is not one of those cheap goods on the Internet.

The filter barrel is almost the same, and it is not like the kind of Internet that is just filled with a layer of fine-porous sieve, which is finished, this filter barrel opens the lid, in addition to the stainless steel filter on the top layer and the same as a layer of coarse sieve on the net, there is also a layer of very fine mesh filter below, obviously this is only afraid of larger pollen particles Although they can pass through the sieve above, they must be filtered out by this filter.

Of course, for the sake of safety, Xu Yi directly took a few things out of the space, carried them to the kitchen and washed them carefully, and washed them several times in a row, until the water washed out of these things turned into clean water, and then took them into the space, found a board to pad underneath, and put them there to dry.

This honey collection is easy, but Xu Yi is still short of things now, the hot water is not a big problem, it's a big deal to boil water outside and bring it in, but these two beehives have to shake out at least forty or fifty catties of honey, which must have something to pack.

It seems that I will have to go to the food market again tomorrow and buy some food-grade containers, after all, I can get a bucket at random, and who knows what will dissolve into the honey in this bucket.

This honey must be of excellent quality, and if you want to send it for inspection, you naturally can't let this thing attract so attention.

Luckily, just one bucket is enough, no......

Xu Yi suddenly realized that he was just thinking about finding a bucket to fill the honey in this beehive, and he didn't think about anything else, after all, he was inexperienced and didn't accurately estimate the yield of his bees.

The capacity of the bee's honey sac is 0.03 to 0.05 grams, and it can fly out to collect honey 10 to 20 times a day, so that it can collect almost 0.6 grams of nectar per day. But the nectar moisture is large, about 70% of the water, to be brewed by bees, so that it becomes honey with no more than 20% moisture, in fact, a bee can collect almost 0.15 grams of honey a day, so calculated, a group of 100,000 bees, a day can collect only 15,000 kilograms of honey, so calculated, at most 30 catties to die. Not to mention, the time it takes for this honey to be harvested and brewed has to be taken into account, from nectar to honey, it takes seven to ten days for bees to brew it, so how much more honey can be brewed on this day?

And that's not counting the fact that a considerable proportion of these 100,000 bees have to stay in the hive to take care of the young bees, and put the nectar brought back by the collecting bees in the hive to brew, so that this group of bees is obviously at most a week to collect twenty catties of honey to death, not to mention, no one goes to work purely for the purpose of work, the same is true for bees, the main purpose of collecting honey is to solve the problem of eating and drinking for a large extent.

A bee can only collect about five grams of honey in its lifetime, but it has to eat two grams of honey itself, so how much honey can this group of bees produce? Those bees shake dozens or hundreds of catties of honey a day, and even put a few beehives on the side of the road, and then sell honey in large quantities, how can it be real honey that they sell!

The "Twelfth Five-Year Plan for the Development of National Beekeeping" said that in 2009, the number of bee colonies in the country reached 8.2 million, and the output of honey rose to 400,000 tons.

Some people want to say that this is the low yield of medium bees, and the high yield of Italian bees.

This is true, but 70% of the beekeepers in the country are Italian bees, and the remaining 30% of the middle bees do not produce any honey, can this make the annual output of a group of Italian bees average to 150 catties?

It is very rare for a group of bees in the outside world to reach 100,000 bees, after all, the bees have to return to the nest at night, and the weather is hot during this honey season, and a nest spleen of more than 2,000 is easy to produce bee fever.

And most of the domestic is a standard beehive plus a layer of standard relay box, so calculated, a group of bees can generally survive 80,000 is good, the swarm of bees is worse, if there are more, I am afraid that there will be bee fever, so it is necessary to make a discount, like some stores pù, saying that it is their own bees, the amount of honey sold a year is hundreds of thousands of catties, how many groups of bees do these honey need to brew, how much can this be genuine? What's more, just like in my own space, two boxes of bees have to plant so many lime trees for the bees to collect honey, and if you want to take honey, you must also have a nectar source......, right?
