Chapter 517: The Bees Have Settled In

G650 was parked steadily on the tarmac of Kingman Airport, Ju An walked to the hatch with a small bag, waiting to get off the plane, Rand on the ground was already waiting outside in a car, waiting for Serena to open the cabin door, and immediately a heat wave came to his face, almost making Ju An's head stretched out and retracted, it was so fucking hot, Ju An muttered in his heart, and walked out of the cabin hard.

got off the plane, took three steps and made two steps to say hello to Rand and ran into the big pickup, the king of the brand-new pickup Ford Ranch is more than the cattle fork used at home, the area of Hans Ranch is too large and there are too many things to be towed, especially in winter, batches of pasture will be transported from the Creek River Ranch in Montana, so I bought a few high-horsepower Ford 650, sat in the cab, Ju An saw the number of the shiny chrome F650 next to him, and then think about the of the buddy is also 650, Could it be that Lao Mei has a soft spot for the number 650, just as we like 8?

Before he could figure it out, Rand took the driver's seat. This F650 is said to be a four-seater cab, but in fact, the back seat is very uncomfortable to sit in, the space is very small, it is really a car used in the ranch, and the space in the cab is saved for the body. Now Ju An is sitting in the co-pilot's seat, and his line of sight is estimated to be at least two meters high from the ground, which is much better than his GMC.

Waiting for Rand to drive for a while, Ju An felt that the car was enjoyable to drive, and the rumbling sound of the rumbling 6.7L V8 engine was indeed exciting, and after waiting for Rand to drive for more than ten minutes, Ju An couldn't help it, and let Rand park the car on the side of the road. Switch to yourself. Happily drove along the way to the building of the ranch. Ju An decided to go back and order a modified version of the King of the Ranch. This car is amazing.

From the hottest climate of more than ten degrees to the Hans Ranch of about 30 degrees, Ju'an of course a little uncomfortable, entered the dormitory and put down the bag, immediately turned on the air conditioner, and waited for the temperature in the house to cool down, then stood up from the bed, stretched out his head and looked out through the window, from time to time there were cowboys riding horses walking in the sun. While walking, there were three or two laughing from time to time, which made Ju An feel extremely embarrassed, and he was embarrassed to blow the air conditioner in the dormitory.

Looking around, there is already a tall cowhide riding boot on the side of the door, and there are two cowboy hats with wide cornices hanging on the wall, and next to the hat is a large cowhide kettle. I filled a full kettle, and then touched the white cowboy hat on the wall and stuck it on my head. I put on my riding boots, turned off the air conditioner and walked into the heat wave.

When I walked out of the house, I immediately asked A fresh fragrance, with a faint very refreshing smell into the lungs, suddenly refreshed people's spirits, and as far as the eye could see, the flowers on the pasture seemed to be more gorgeous, and the faint fragrance that could only be smelled when you had to get close to it was now much stronger.

When I walked to the stable, I happened to meet Rand who was preparing the horse, and when I saw Ju An coming over, Rand said with a smile: "Boss! I thought you were going to take a break, many people who just came here are not very adaptable at first, the summer here is hot at noon, but the temperature is very low at night, after adapting, it will be much better, our ranch is three or four degrees lower than the city of Kingman."

Ju An smiled and said, "It's okay! Seeing that you are all busy, how can I squat in the air-conditioned room alone, by the way, where are the two professors, Leonard and Jennifer? ”。

Rand pointed to the distance with his hand: "Professor Leonard should be on the southwest edge of the ranch, these days are trying to expand the ranch to that side, Professor Jennifer is not easy to say, seven or eight cow points are possible, otherwise, I will take you to see the bees we got first, these guys are really good at producing honey, and now they have expanded a few bee colonies, and now the ranch also employs a beekeeper."

"That's good! Let's go see the bees first," Juan said, nodding his head, and turned to look at the stable, ready to pick a horse.

Rand pointed to a few cubicles and said, "Or maybe it's the brown horse you rode last time."

Following Rand's direction, Ju An saw at a glance the brown quart horse he rode last time: "It's okay, it's him." After speaking, he walked towards the horse, and at a distance of two or three meters, the brown horse raised his head and neighed, and walked over quickly, touching the horse's head: "This is seeing me, your memory is really good." After saying that, he put the horse on the water and took the reins out of the stable, put on the saddle, and followed Rand out of the stable.

Riding a horse trotted for almost twenty minutes, along the way met two groups of cows, the cows that have almost matured seem to enjoy the current sunshine, leisurely eating grass, riding a horse against the slight mountain wind, waiting for the body to sweat and be blown by the wind, I feel sticky, a little uncomfortable.

He pulled the clothes on his body and asked Rand next to him, "How long will it take to get to the bees?" ”。 After speaking, he lifted the water bag hanging on the side of the horse and poured it.

Rand looked at the sweat on Ju'an's head and said with a smile: "That's it, it's not a few steps."

Ju An looked up, didn't see anything, poured a sip of space water and felt a lot more comfortable, rode a horse and followed Rand to continue running, Rand's few steps were really not close, the horse speed increased, and after running for more than five minutes, I saw a small domestic bomber squatting on the flowers and picking honey.

Getting closer and closer to the beehives, even Ju An and Rand had two small bombers on their shoulders, Ju An didn't care, this Rand also looked light, and asked Rand: "Shall we get a protective net?" ”。

Rand shook his head: "No, although this kind of bee looks scary, it has a very good temper and is generally not easy to blow up the swarm." After saying that, he stretched his finger next to the bee on his shoulder, let the bee climb down his finger to his finger, and then his finger was too high, and the domestic small bomber flew away.

Hey! Dude, this is not worried about yourself, okay, the black mamba does not attack buddy, I am worried about you, forget it, since you are not afraid, Ju An said secretly, and followed Rand to continue to gallop.

When he arrived at the place, Ju'an found that seven or eight beehives were placed under several large trees, and a beekeeper was squatting on a deck chair under a tree to sleep, probably sleeping so comfortably that the sound of horses' hooves did not wake the man.

Rand smiled at Juan and said, "It's really nothing for him to take care of a few boxes of bees."

Seeing that Rand still wanted to continue to explain, Ju An waved his hand and said with a smile: "Do your own thing, just let him go." Being able to do the things at hand well, and leave the rest of the things in peace, this is also the truth that I realized when I worked for others, the things at hand are all good, why do you want to limit what others must do, and do whatever you want to do. Why bother going to work like going to jail.

got off the horse, lifted the lid of a beehive, and saw that there were small domestic bombers crawling densely inside, but these bees were big, and the distance of the partition was also large and much thicker.

After Ju An finished reading it, he put the hive partition back and covered it, and then the beekeeper woke up, stood up and walked to Ju An and Rand, who introduced to the beekeeper and said, "This is the boss, Ann, BOSS! This is our beekeeper Steve."

After shaking hands with the beekeeper, Ju An asked, "This bee breeds well enough, and now there are seven or eight nests."

Steve didn't have the slightest sense of being caught by the boss when he slept, and explained to Ju An with a smile: "This nest of bees produces twice as much honey as ordinary bees, and now there are only a few beehives, at this rate, there should be fifty or sixty nests by next year, and the honey production will be considerable, but it is a pity that a nest of bees on the other side of the mountain is not willing to sell to us."

"Over the hill?" Ju An asked after a pause.

Rand nodded and said: "Yes, a beekeeper on the other side of the mountain also got a nest of this kind of bees, Leonard heard about it and wanted to buy it, others are old beekeepers found that this bee produces a lot of honey, and the honey quality is good, and he said that he will not sell it to the pasture, and then it spread, many people nearby beekeepers put beehives to the mountains to catch bees, only a few people caught bees, and the rest had nothing."

Ju An listened and nodded, never underestimate the power of money, the reputation of this bee is out, it is estimated that it will not be long before the bees released by the buddies will be seduced back by these beekeepers with beehives, but this is fine, the buddy ranch is not conspicuous. He said regretfully: "If we buy all the bees in their hands, we will be an exclusive deal!" ”。

Steve laughs and explains, "Their bees are the same as ours, but the flowers are different, the flowers in the pasture produce much better honey than theirs, and their honey is just slightly higher than the honey of European bees." Some people even wanted to put bees on our pasture, but Rand directly refused." Steve said happily as he pinched the height with his thumb and forefinger, signaling that the honey of others was a little higher than that of European bees, and Juan looked at the distance between his two fingers and estimated that he could only place a coin flat.

"Well done!" Ju An patted Rand on the shoulder: "Don't talk about the flowers and plants on the ground, even the gold mines found underground are all pastures, don't even think about it."

Rand and Steve laughed and nodded in agreement. Steve then said to Ju An: "When my newly designed beehives are delivered in two days, the conditions of these little cuties will be much better." Then he began to compare the beehives of his own design.

Ju'an, this guy finished the comparison, and then he knew that this is a beehive, it's just a big wardrobe, more than two meters high, and with two doors, what is it if it's not a wardrobe! (To be continued.) )
