Chapter 143: Making a Beehive
In the space, Bei Bei and Zhao Yun are preparing to make wine and dry tea, all of which require tools.
For example, the utensils for holding wine, the tools for making wine, etc., these tools are not available in the space, which requires Zhang Quan to buy them from the outside.
It turned out that he should have bought it after the space was upgraded, but when the Bixiang Mala Shop opened, Zhang Quan really couldn't spare it, so he could only leave it there first, and wait until now when he was free to buy.
Zhang Quan searched around the neighborhood twice, and finally found a suitable vessel, a ceramic bottle for wine, which was similar to an ordinary quaint wine bottle.
Zhang Quan chose 20 100 ml packs, 20 200 ml packs, and 10 500 ml packs.
Because Bei Bei and Zhao Yun are not very mature in technology, and they are still in the trial stage, so every time they try, they don't have to get a lot.
So generally speaking, a hundred milliliters is enough, and Zhang Quan has prepared a few larger ones.
In addition to wine bottles, Zhang Quan also found some bartending tools and bottles for tea.
In the end, Zhang Quan found some shops that sold timber, bought some wood, and some tools for carpentry.
After Zhang Quan brought these things into the space, he handed them to Bei Bei and Zhao Yun.
The function of the wine bottle, as mentioned before, is to hold wine.
And the purpose of those planks is to make beehives.
Zhang Quan often drank honey with Beibei and them, but those were taken off the honeycomb.
The way of stocking bees in the space is not much different from that in the mountains and forests outside, but because of this, the honey that bees can produce is far less than that raised in beehives.
A few days ago, when Zhang Quan shared the honey taken from the beehive with Beibei, Zhao Yun, and Xiaohei, because they often took some honey, they could not get much honey from the bees every time, after all, they had to keep it for the queen bee and other bees.
So a few of them, each of them got half a cup, which made several people very dissatisfied.
Zhang Quan suddenly remembered that the bees raised outside with beehives could harvest a lot of honey, so he had the idea of using beehives to raise bees.
He talked to Bei Bei for a while, and immediately got Bei Bei's consent.
However, Zhang Quan is worried that using beehives to grow bees will reduce the quality and purity of the honey produced by bees.
When Bei Bei heard this, he immediately said that it didn't matter, although the honey produced by bees raised in beehives was indeed not as good as that produced by bees in the wild, but it was not far behind.
In addition, the amount of honey that can be produced by using beehives to grow bees can be greatly increased, and in addition to ordinary honey, there is also royal jelly.
You must know that royal jelly is not comparable to ordinary honey, bees in the wild produce very little honey, as for royal jelly, it is even less, before Zhang Quan and several people took out of the honey nest, but they are all ordinary honey, but they can't get royal jelly.
And if you use beehives to plant bees, the honey produced by the bees will be more, and the royal jelly will also be more, so it is not too much for Zhang Quan to collect some royal jelly from the queen bee.
Hearing Beibei's analysis, Zhang Quan also felt that it was much better to use beehives to raise bees than to let the bees nest outside, but Beibei had also experienced harm and was ready to make royal jelly.
I like it, though.
Zhang Quan thought crookedly.
A few days ago, because of the opening of Bixiang Mala Shop, this matter was the same as the matter of buying wine bottles, and it was delayed, and it was only now that I had time.
It stands to reason that if you use a beehive to grow bees, you should buy a beehive.
But Zhang Quan didn't know where he could find it, and it was already October, at this time, even if it was a beekeeper, it was rare.
In the end, Zhang Quan thought of Zhao Yun and asked him to look on the Internet to see if there was a tutorial on making beehives.
Unexpectedly, he really found it as soon as he looked for it, Zhao Yun looked at it for a while, and told Zhang Quan that as long as there were materials, he could also make it.
That's why Zhang Quan bought wood, as well as some tools for carpentry.
After Zhang Quan took the wood and tools into the space, Zhao Yun measured it and started to make a beehive.
Zhao Yun picked up the wooden plank, and according to the online teaching video, first made a peripheral shell, and then made the fine parts inside, such as the nest frame, box body, box bottom, nest door panel, auxiliary cover (or gauze cover), box cover and partition, etc.
Once all the parts are ready, all the parts are combined to complete a beehive.
The process of making a beehive, too, takes about forty minutes and is very fast.
Beehives need to be made of wood that is solid, lightweight, not easily deformed, and well dried.
The beehive is placed in the open air for a long time, subjected to wind, rain and sun, and the bee hive lives in the bee to raise bees and store feed, so the structure of the beehive must be the living habits of the bees, the size standard is unified, and it is durable and durable.
After Zhao Yun made a beehive, Zhang Quan and Bei Bei couldn't help it, took the beehive away, and prepared to set up a new home for the bees.
However, in addition to the two of them, of course, there are two more behind, Zhao Yun and Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei was completely following behind to watch the excitement, while Zhao Yun followed, but he had to work.
The bees buzzed and still colonized in the thousands.
Although Zhang Quan is strong in martial arts and bold in art, he really has no way to deal with these bees, thousands of bees are buzzing, how high and bold his martial arts are, he also goes to die one, goes to two, and dies a pair.
In addition, Zhang Quan does not have the ability to communicate with bees, so he can't command bees.
Although Bei Bei is able to communicate with the queen bee and is able to command the queen bee.
Just like Zhao Yun used to get honey, those bees didn't make much movement.
But if Zhang Quan goes, who knows if there will be that little bee, who is very naughty, does not obey the queen bee's orders, and attacks himself.
Of course, in general, there are very few.
And this time, unlike Zhao Yun taking honey before, this time it is to help the bees move, and it is still mandatory, this danger is far more dangerous than when taking honey (Zhang Quan feels).
You must know that if someone moves for Zhang Quan, it is mandatory, and he will not have a good face.
You must know that when Zhao Yun went to get honey in the past, although he didn't find those bee attacks, there were thousands of bees buzzing and flying next to him, and Zhao Yun was impulsive, if he took too much, he might do it.
This time, the danger of moving for bees is much higher than taking honey from the honeycomb.
Therefore, Zhang Quan moved for the bees this time, of course, he had to call Zhao Yun, otherwise if something really went wrong, he would cry without tears.
