Chapter 144: Finding a Beekeeper

Ye Xiaofei's customized 500 beehives finally came, and all the cleanup work in the lotus pond was successfully completed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as the truck arrived, Ye Xiaofei hired more than a dozen villagers and took these people to move the beehives to the persimmon orchard he had contracted.

This is the best position that Ye Xiaofei thought of, firstly, to facilitate the unified management of the beehive in the future, and secondly, to facilitate the centralized protection of the sparrow companions, in order to select the location, Rhubarb finally persuaded hundreds of queen bees.

Because the mountain road is not very easy to walk, more than a dozen people worked hard all morning to put all the beehives in place, and the persimmon orchard suddenly brightened up a lot, almost every moment there were one or two wooden beehives under the persimmon fruit trees, and Ye Xiaofei also carefully numbered all of them.

Not long after the five hundred beehives were placed, Rhubarb asked the little bee to inform his own kind, and soon a large swarm of bees began to move in.

"Spotted" is the name that Rhubarb gave to the little bee by using his ingenuity, and it is the little bee that helped the big eel run errands to spread the news.

Looking at the bee colony that covered the sky and the sun like an insect plague, Ye Xiaofei was shocked, and tens of thousands of bees danced in unison in the sky, the scene was quite amazing.

Fortunately, Ye Xiaofei had already settled those villagers and left, otherwise these black and oppressive bee swarms were like dark clouds and winds, so it would be strange if they didn't scare them.

Ye Xiaofei happily watched these bees move to a new home on the side, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

This is pure natural wild honey made by real wild bees, and it is a very sought-after rare product in the market.

According to the calculation of unpacking and cutting honey once a year, a box of honey can produce about 50 catties of pure natural wild honey every year, although the quantity is far lower than the honey production of domestic bees, but the current market price of wild honey of this quality is higher than 100 yuan per catty. That's more than three or five times more than ordinary honey.

In this way, each box of wild bees can bring Ye Xiaofei an income of more than 5,000 yuan a year.

The housewarming lasted more than three hours before it was completed.

Ye Xiaofei counted carefully, a total of 436 beehives were inhabited by wild bees, and the honey output of these more than 400 boxes of wild bees, even if it was not the existence of royal jelly, could bring Ye Xiaofei a wealth income of more than two million yuan every year.

Although Ye Xiaofei is now worth a lot of money, such an income is still a figure that cannot be underestimated.

Now that the beekeeping plan has kicked off, Ye Xiaofei is about to start recruiting people, after all, although there is rhubarb here to protect them, but someone always needs to take care of it, and in the future, cutting honey and making honey will have to be operated manually.

When it comes to beekeepers, the first thing that Ye Xiaofei thinks of is Second Uncle Li's house in the village.

Second Uncle Li used to be a good beekeeper, a professional beekeeper for several generations, raising more than 80 boxes of honey at the most, and 20 or 30 boxes at the least, which is the source of honey for all the villagers in Xinghua Village.

It wasn't until four years ago that Second Uncle Li quit the beekeeping business and started the land with a hoe wholeheartedly.

In Ye Xiaofei's childhood memory, Lao Li's house was a place he loved and hated, because whenever Lao Li's family turned on the machine to make honey, they would always give these naughty children some sweet pieces to taste.

But there are gains and losses, Ye Xiaofei was stung by bees when he was a child, and he can't count the number of times he was stung by bees on ten fingers.

The time that affected him the most was when he went to junior high school in Yongfeng Town, because he was stung by a bee at the beginning of the school year, which caused his face to be a little red and swollen and distorted. It took more than a week to fully restore the image of Xiao Zhengtai.

As a result, the homeroom teacher saw that he was staring at him for a long time, and then said something that he would never forget: "Classmate Ye Xiaofei, I always thought that you were born with a crooked mouth." In order not to make you feel inferior, I made you the class leader!"

For this reason, Ye Xiaofei was sad for a long time, after all, he thought that his position as squad leader was won by strength.

Just do it, Ye Xiaofei quickly ran back to the village and went straight to Second Uncle Li's house.

As long as someone is at home, the courtyard door of every house in the village is mostly open, which is a custom that has been handed down for many years. Therefore, people who generally live in the village can experience the joy of visiting the door.

It's not like today's cities, where people live in reinforced concrete buildings, sometimes without even knowing their next-door neighbors, let alone visiting them.

Even if it is two colleagues who get along day and night, many times they will not bring it to their home, and even I can pay for you to open a room in a hotel to live in, and I don't want you to come to the house.

This is not to say that the world is cold and people are cold, but that the city gathers complex people from all over the world, and the heart of defense is a necessary way to survive.

Seeing that the courtyard door of Second Uncle Li's house was wide open, Ye Xiaofei directly entered the courtyard of Second Uncle Li's house, and Second Uncle Li's son Li Goudan was sitting on the recliner with his mobile phone and fiddling comfortably, while the ceramic jar was steaming with the smell of tea.

The four-year-old son was happily playing with a pile of mud, and his little face was stained with a lot of mud, not to mention how funny.

There are more than a dozen dilapidated beehives piled up on the west wall of the courtyard, and the bees are long gone, and they are all empty boxes that have been kept for three or four years.

A few years ago, the little grandson of the Li family, who had just come out of the full moon, was stung by a bee at home, and was seriously hospitalized for several days before the danger was saved, which frightened the family.

"Brother Dog, bask in the sun. Ye Xiaofei greeted with a smile.

Li Goudan pulled out his attention from his mobile phone, and when he saw that it was Ye Xiaofei, he stood up happily and said, "Xiaofei is here, come and sit for a while, brother will get you some wild mountain tea to drink." ”

Ye Xiaofei originally planned to talk to Second Uncle Li directly about things, but when he heard the wild mountain tea, he suddenly became interested.

Wild camellia is a unique thing in the mountains, it can be used as medicine, Ye Xiaofei had a headache, brain fever, cold and cough when he was a child, and most of them were cured by wild camellia.

It's a pity that the leaf mountain tea in the mountains has become more and more scarce in recent years, and if you are lucky, you can pick three or five taels of tender tea when you meet a tea tree, which is enough to envy people.

Li Goudan quickly came out with a big enamel jar and greeted: "Xiaofei, come on, come on, sit here and drink two sips, so that you can also miss the taste of childhood." ”

Ye Xiaofei took the cup and took a sip, and said happily: "Brother Goudan is so blessed, this taste is really amazing, much better than those expensive tea leaves sold outside." ”

Li Goudan also took a refreshing sip, sighed and said: "It's a pity that there is no honey to tea at home now, otherwise, honey water leaf mountain tea, this guy can be addicted to drinking." ”

Ye Xiaofei took over the conversation and said, "Brother Godan, I'm here to discuss beekeeping with you today, I don't know if the second uncle is at home?"
