Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Kiko and Shi Suo'er come to the wild honeycomb of the crooked-necked elm, but they happen to catch up with the bees dividing the nest. Kiko watched the development of the situation while secretly planning in her heart.
Since this is the case, it will save trouble, the original old honeycomb does not need to be touched for the time being, and simply wipe out the group of bees that have been separated, move into the new house prepared for them, and complete the great evolutionary process of transforming from wild bees to house bees. In this way, the bees save themselves the hard work of building houses, and the islanders can harvest honey regularly, which is called a good thing for each to take what they need, mutual benefit, and win-win situation.
Thinking of this, Kiko turned around and told Shi Suo'er of the new plan, and asked him to carry a ladder over to the Hundred Fruit Garden.
"What, you're going to catch that big lump?" Shi Suo'er looked at the dense giant bee ball composed of countless bees, and felt his scalp explode and goosebumps on his body. He had never seen such a formation since he was a child, and he couldn't help but regret following Kiko here.
"What are you afraid of, you're still so big. I'll do it, you can help on the side. Kiko glanced at the other party and said disdainfully.
Now that he has obviously gotten on the thief ship, what else can he say, he can only rush hard. Shi Suo'er shook his head and made up his mind to let go.
By the time he brought the ladder over, Kiko had already taken out the tools in the basket and put them up, two straw hats with gauze masks, and two pairs of gloves, and the two of them were neatly dressed.
The mask is actually made of the leftover material of nylon screens, although it is a little hard, but the conditions are limited, so make do with it.
"Button up your clothes, and be careful not to let the bees get in there." Kiko reminded. I checked Shi Suo'er's body again.
Then he emptied the contents of the basket, took a small bottle and unscrewed it, which contained honey, and poured out some of it and smeared it on the inner wall of the basket.
This is a special gift for bees to attract their attention and minimize hostility towards their own side.
Of course, this kind of honey is an ordinary product bought from the city last time, the texture is not pure, and there is a lot of brown sugar in it. But I guess the bees won't care too much.
Then the two took the bamboo basket ladder and went to the big poplar tree next to it, and put the ladder on the trunk.
"I'll go up. Hold on to it. "Kiko tried to test the stability of the wooden ladder. Immediately issued a battle order, picked up the bamboo basket and climbed up.
Shi Suo'er stretched out a pair of large hands to hold the ladder firmly, and at the same time looked up at the top.
Kiko climbed to a height where she could reach the bee ball and stopped. At this time, the bees are still busy, crawling around like headless flies. Jing Tixing has been greatly reduced. And there was no immediate attack on him.
Kiko turned the basket upside down. He set it on a branch above the bee ball, and broke a leafy branch to drive the bees into the basket.
It didn't go well at first, and many bees were driven into the basket but flew out quickly. It seems very reluctant. The little honey on the wall of the basket doesn't seem to be very attractive.
Kiko was not discouraged, and continued to bombard, the frequency of her movements accelerated, and she blasted a large gap in the middle part of the bee ball, and searched back and forth in it.
Suddenly, a huge bee appeared in the field of vision, quite eye-catching, like standing out from the crowd. It's like the only country on earth where there is only one fat man.
Old queen bee, hehe, it's easy to do now. Xizi is very happy, the so-called thief captures the king first, as long as the boss is compliant, the little ones will naturally follow obediently.
Some of Jing Jue's bees, presumably armed by the royal guards, pounced on the net and began to attack the invaders. But the attacks are all ineffective, and it is no wonder how the small tail thorn can fight against humans equipped with high technology.
Xizi specially cleaned up the old queen bee, and it took a lot of effort for the boss to finally drive the old guy into the bamboo basket.
The other bees swarmed up and rallied around the old queen. Soon a new big ball was formed in the bamboo basket.
Even the scattered bees followed the trail and flew into the basket without hesitation. is really loyal, far more than those fans who chase stars.
Shi Suo'er looked up at this qiē and couldn't help but be secretly speechless. He didn't dare to play this kind of dangerous move, and at the same time, he had a hint of admiration for Kiko, who was usually unreliable.
Seeing that the bees were mostly cleaned, Kiko slowly turned the bamboo basket around, then pulled out a large piece of cloth from her arms and quickly covered the basket.
Chong Shi Suo'er made an OK gesture, and then slowly climbed down the ladder.
Holding the bamboo basket, Kiko walked briskly to the wooden beehive, followed by Shi Suo'er carrying a ladder.
As she got closer, Kiko asked Shi Suo'er to open the lid on the beehive, remove the shielding cloth, pour the bee balls in the basket into the beehive, and then close the lid.
When this is done, the bees will move to a new home, and they will arrange the space and living room inside, as well as the palace of the old queen bee, the delivery room, etc., without the need for people to cāo.
There are also some scattered bees in the bamboo basket, and it doesn't matter if they don't care, they will go to find the queen bee boss on their own according to a specific breath.
"Okay, carry the box over there."
Kiko took off her straw hat with a mask and continued to command Shi Suo'er to move the big beehive to a hillside between the fruit garden and the vegetable field, and looked around, finding a flat, leeward rock face to place it.
Then gently pull up the two rams of the beehive, and the slender nest door on the side is revealed. But no bees have come out yet, so I guess I'm busy building a hexagonal house.
But don't worry, the instinct of survival will prompt these hard-working little ones to go out quickly. And in order to make an emergency, the inner wall of the box was also smeared with some impure honey of the kind just now, so as not to starve to death the old queen bee.
In addition, this location is not too far from several places with flowers, which is convenient for bees to collect honey and is conducive to improving work efficiency.
After doing these things, Xizi moved her arms and legs, and at the same time beckoned Shi Suo'er to call it a day and go back to the bamboo building.
"That's it?" Shi Suo'er questioned.
"yes, what else do you want to do?" Kiko responded.
"Well, didn't you say there was wild honey to eat?" Shi Suo'er suddenly had a feeling of being deceived and deceived.
"That's right, but I'll have to wait a little bit, where did I get the honey from this new house? Will the grain you plant today be reaped soon? Kiko said, looking at each other with a strange look.
"You...... Isn't there a wild honeycomb on that crooked-necked tree? Shi Suo'er shouted in annoyance.
The plan at the beginning of the day was to dig out the wild honeycomb, move the bees, and confiscate the honey from the nest. I didn't expect to encounter bee nests beforehand.
Xizi pondered for a while, this guy in front of him is a pure foodie, and if he fails as expected, I'm afraid he won't give up.
Well, let's just work harder and cut a piece of the old honeycomb. (To be continued......)
