Chapter 268: Poking the hornet's nest

"Little bee, busy collecting honey, loves to work and learns, we all have to learn from him......"

Kiki hummed the song that the pigtails taught her, and jumped up and down on the grass. In front of and behind her, several large bees were buzzing.

This kind of bee is super large, the body size is about the same as the thumb of a fat man, the body has dense black hair, there are also some white patterns, and the appearance is similar to a bear, so the scientific name is called "bumblebee", and the common people in the mountains call them Tuleizi.

"This bee is big enough, it flies fast, it collects a lot of honey, one by one, and you want it!" said Old Wu Tou excitedly, and he and the fat man were a few feet behind Qiqi. In Daqingshan, there are many wild bee colonies, so there is no need to go to the old forest at all, and there is no need to think about safety.

"It doesn't seem to work, a litter of soil thunder, at most a few hundred, breeding bees, mainly to win by quantity. The old medicine man immediately expressed his opinion.

Old Wu Tou was immediately deflated: "Qiqi, hurry up and drive them all away, go around, and other bees don't dare to come forward." ”

Kiki immediately waved his little hand, and several bumblebees flew away reluctantly. But soon, another small swarm of yellow bees flew over and circled above her head.

"It's this kind of bee that bit my bees to death yesterday!" When Old Wu Tou saw it, he immediately became angry, as if he saw an enemy.

"This kind of bee has the most on the mountain, and if the bears steal honey, they usually look for their hives, and it is estimated that they produce a lot of honey. The car boss has seen a lot and hurriedly introduced it to Lao Wutou.

Lao Yaozi also added on the side: "I have also seen many bees divide the nest, that guy, thousands of bees are crowded into a big ball, it is as big as a noodle bag, and it makes people's scalps numb." ”

Fat people have better eyes and can see better. This bee is much more burly than the bee, with large shoulders and a round waist, and the black horizontal stripe on the abdomen is particularly obvious, which makes it more sturdy at first glance.

"That's it, Kiki, get them away, and we'll follow. The fat man immediately gave the order.

This trick "bee to lead the way" is still Qiqi came up with, Qiqi's text has the story of Lenin using bees to guide the way, so he learned and used it now, saving the world to find beehives.

A few people trotted and followed Qiqi, wandering around for less than half an hour, and just when Old Wu was tired and panting, Qiqi stopped in front of a large pile of rocks.

There was a large protruding stone above the stone pile, and there were many bees coming and going below, and it seemed that this was indeed the place where their nest was.

Wild bees build their nests, usually in trees or in stone piles, and there are bees standing guard near the hive. So, as soon as a few people approached the hive, dozens of bees flew over, snorting vigorously and warning them.

The fat man hurriedly led everyone to hide behind Qiqi, no way, don't look at the small people, now it is the umbrella of a few of them.

In fact, they have always believed in the dogma of "people don't offend me, I don't offend people", and under normal circumstances, they never take the initiative to hurt people, after all, the stinger is gone, and their lives will come to an end.

However, the wild bees have a stronger sense of territory and are more ferocious, and their attacks are more intense.

Kiki's umbrella really worked, and the bees that were guarding immediately dispersed, no longer bothering the fat man. The fat man breathed a sigh of relief: "This bee is also very good at finding a place, this big stone is similar to a roof, and it is no problem to shelter from the wind and rain." However, it is estimated that there are at most three or four hundred catties, and if the bear makes a hard effort, it can be uncovered. ”

The car boss was shocked: "Fat man, you can't do this, if you provoke the bee colony and sting us, no one can stand it." ”

The fat man said twice: "I'm just talking." ”

Then, several people looked at Lao Wu Tou together, waiting for him to come up with an idea to deal with the swarm, the car boss and Lao Yaozi only had one "fire attack", but they would definitely not be used in the current occasion.

Old Wu Tou observed the nearby form, saw a big tree a few meters away, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Fatty, give me firewood." ”

"Can't burn!" Qiqi hurriedly protested: "If I knew that Grandpa Wu and you came to burn bees, I wouldn't have come a long time ago." ”

Old Wu Tou saw Qiqi angrily turned around to leave, and his heart was anxious: "It's not burning, the main thing is to smoke the queen bee first, and as soon as the queen bee comes out, the bees will follow out." ”

"That's pretty much it. Qiqi's face became happy again, and then he heard the old Wu Tou say: "You have to do this task, Qiqi, if you replace us, you have to be stung by bees." ”

The fat man couldn't help but mutter: "What if Qiqi doesn't come, and this bee can't be caught?"

Old Wu Tou smiled and said, "If that's the case, it's more risky, and the person who lights the fire must be fully armed." With Kiki here, wouldn't it be easy for us? ”

"It's too unkind, tell our family Qiqi to take risks, if we produce honey in the future, we must take the lion!"

"Cheng, let's get the bees back first. Old Wu Tou agreed very happily, and he didn't have any other meaning for beekeeping, mainly because he was idle and had nothing to do.

So he handed over a small bundle of bud straw to Qiqi, pulled out some grass, and after the bud straw was lit, he covered it, so that the smoke was thicker.

The fat man handed the lighter to Qiqi: "Don't make a big fire, don't start a fire just by smoking, otherwise it will be troublesome to burn the bees to death." ”

Kiki knew this, of course, so he went to the mouth of the hive and prepared to light the fire. When the fat man and the others saw it, they hurriedly walked away, hid far away, and lay on the ground, lest the bees should spread evil fire on them after they came out of the nest.

Soon, green smoke rose from the mouth of the hive. Old Wu Tou hurriedly commanded by remote control: "Qiqi, take the straw hat and fan it in, and strive to choke the bees out as soon as possible, otherwise it will be broken if you choke inside." ”

Kiki was also a little worried: "What is the queen bee like, I wonder if it will come out?"

"It's bigger than a normal bee, and it has a very long belly, but you don't think you can see it, so I'll listen to my orders later. "Old Wu Tou is really good, not in a hurry, it seems that he has indeed done this before, and he is more experienced.

The fat man didn't dare to be careless, and stared intently at the movement on the other side of the hive. In case Kiki is in danger, rush to the rescue immediately. His wooden box has water in it, which should also keep the bees at bay.

As the smoke thickens, the bees near the hive are all in a mess, buzzing and flying, looking for the arsonist. However, they turned a blind eye to Kiki, and seemed to believe that she had not planted the fire.

There are more and more bees coming out of the hive, and Qiqi is dazzled, and he can't see which queen bee is at all.

Old Wu Tou suddenly shouted: "Qiqi, put out the fire, the queen bee is out!"

Hearing this, Qiqi hurriedly pulled the bud straw aside, and then trampled it with his foot. The fat man was also a little puzzled: "Old Wu, your eyes are good, you can see the queen bee from such a distance?"

"Look at that tree, the bees are already huddled, and the queen bee must be there. "Old Wu Tou is not clairvoyant, of course he can't see clearly, he judges based on experience.

It is said that bees are still in a "matriarchal society", a group of bees, the core of which is the queen bee. Although it is called the queen bee, it should actually be called the queen bee more appropriately, because the queen bee is the female bee, and it is the most developed and can complete the task of inheritance.

In addition, the worker bees that collect honey are also female bees, but they are not fully developed, they cannot lay eggs, they can only work, and our hard-working bees are them.

Worker bees are the most numerous, but they also have a short lifespan, usually a few months. The main difference is that in terms of diet, ordinary worker bees eat honey, while queen bees eat royal jelly.

In addition, there are those drones, which range in number from dozens to hundreds, and their only task is to mate with the queen bee, which is a bit like the "face head" raised by the queen bee. These guys are typical of eating and not working, never collecting honey, and being fed by worker bees.

So when the queen bee leaves the nest, the whole colony will come out with it and surround the queen bee tightly. As soon as Lao Wu saw the bees huddled, he knew that it was the queen bee who came out.

After a few minutes, the bee mass on the tree grew bigger and bigger, and it hung there like a big gourd. A few people slowly slipped to the front, and sure enough, they all felt goosebumps on their bodies.

The bees on the bee colony are constantly crawling, and the whole bee colony is wriggling, this kind of scene, anyone who sees it is shocked.

The fat man looked at the beehive, and then at the big bee group on the tree: "Old Wu, why do you get these bees inside." ”

Old Wu Tou is wise: "First plug the original beehive with stones, don't let them fly back, and then open the beehive, put it there, I estimate that it will be able to fly in after a while, there is royal jelly in it, which can attract the queen bee, as long as the queen bee goes in, other bees will also follow up." ”

After waiting for more than an hour, the bee colony on the tree grew bigger and bigger, and bees who went out to collect honey continued to rejoin, but they were not seen to move their nests.

"Old Wu, you can't do this. "The fat man is a little anxious.

Old Wu Tou also scratched his head: "These wild bees are more stubborn, it seems that I have no choice but to use a trick." ”

After speaking, he took the straw hat from Qiqi's hand, took out some royal jelly from the beehive and smeared it in the hood: "Qiqi, you sit on my shoulder, let's go up to the tree to collect bees." Fatty, you can use it as a scaffold for us below. ”

The fat man looked at the bee cluster on the tree, which was more than two meters high from the ground, and the old Wu Tou couldn't reach it at all, so he had to agree depressedly, who called him a good physique, and it was most suitable to lay a foundation at the bottom.

"It's great to play Arhat. Kiki was overjoyed.

So, everyone came to the tree, Qiqi first rode to the neck of the old Wu head, and then, the car owner and the old medicine man lifted the old Wu head to the fat man's neck, and the fat man slowly stood up with the tree, and the old Wu head surpassed the bee group.

Old Wu Tou and the bees were close at hand, and the buzzing sound of the bees really sounded a little dizzy, but with Qiqi here, the bees did not attack, and the old Wu Tou breathed a sigh of relief, stabilized his mind, and put the straw hat on top of the bee group.

"Fatty, light a cigarette and smoke it down there. Old Wu Tou gave another order.

The fat man muttered: "Why do you ask me to do such a dangerous thing?" When the honey comes out, I'll order more. As he spoke, he took out a cigarette and lit it, took two puffs, put the cigarette roll under the bee mass, and a wisp of green smoke began to rise.

"You're all ready, and I'll run with you as soon as the swarm bombs up the camp. The fat man muttered a few more words, and Ledeqiqi clapped his hands on it: "Okay, it must be fun to run so high." ”
