Chapter 315: Catching Industrious Little Bees

Nature is the most generous of givers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Whether it is eaten, drunk or used, it is all produced in nature.

The sweet dumplings filled with honey last time made the hairballs eat so hard that they almost burst their belly.

There is no shortage of salt in the village, even the few villages that wait early every morning at the Wangcun commissary, holding copper coins to buy salt and earn the difference.

For several days, the village of Wang opened up the supply of salt, and the price of salt in the village soon returned to its original state.

Those opportunistic villages have saved a large amount of high-priced salt in their hands, and now they have no way to get rid of it.

They can't be angry yet, after all, from the very beginning, Wang Hao clearly told them that there is salt in the village, and they should not be single-minded, they themselves are forced to buy high-priced salt without persuasion.

When life is a little richer, people's demand for taste is more and more.

Since the salty ones are already there, the sweetness that everyone is eager for is naturally left.

One hundred and fifty beehive carpenters with their apprentices were soon completed.

Wooden beehives are not difficult, they just need to be glued together with ready-made fish gelatin and resin.

The only trouble is that in the absence of chainsaws, those wooden planks need to be sawed out by the clansmen with saws little by little.

As for the nest frame inside the beehive, it is even simpler, four small square wooden sticks, cut to the right length, and glued together.

On the earth, beekeeping has been going on for many years, but in the Great Wilderness, this is the first time that a big girl has been in a sedan chair.

Compared with the bees of the earth, the golden bees of the Great Wilderness are nothing more than golden yellow in color, which is more vivid, and the rest are basically the same.

When they heard Wang Hao say that these wooden boxes were used to catch bees, the clansmen couldn't figure out what Wang Hao was going to do.

Although they do not know the detailed process of honey production, the people of the Great Wilderness at least know that bees have to fly out to collect nectar in order to produce honey.

If they are kept in a small black box, they will not be able to collect nectar.

But if they are allowed to pick honey, they must be released and allowed to roam freely.

And what to do when they fly away?

You can't tie a string around the waist of every bee and let people follow you every day when you pick nectar.

What is the use of such bees that cannot produce honey, even if they can catch them.

Therefore, everyone really couldn't figure out what method Wang Hao could use to catch bees. It can not only allow it to collect honey, but also prevent it from escaping.

Hwaseong's genes are needed to guard against races that can drill into the ground in the Great Wilderness, so they dig very deeply.

As a result, the foundation requires a lot of crushed stone.

Fortunately, on the other side of the river is the rolling stone mountain, which saves Wang Cun a lot of things.

And this batch of beehives hanging at the bottom of the cliff was discovered by giants.

Often, the hives of golden bees are either cast in hidden tree cavities or built in safe mountain crevices, rarely directly exposed.

However, there are exceptions, such as this hive, which hangs beneath a jutting cliff.

The protruding cliffs protect the hives from predators.

The smooth stone walls are impossible to climb at all, so the natural enemies of the bees cannot harm them from below.

I don't know how long this bee colony has been breeding here, anyway, when Wang Hao first came here, he was also frightened by the dense beehives under the cliff.

The cliff was on the backlit side, some distance from where the giants had rocked.

It's just that the giant is a human flesh mountain opener, and a hammer goes down like an earthquake, and the mountains of these stone mountains are connected together. So those bees will naturally be frightened and take off in swarms.

It was the discovery of the large swarm of bees that led the giant to find the cliff in the direction in which they flew.

With a height of more than seven meters and a cliff jutting outward, the bee colony can hide from the predators, but in the face of giants taller than the cliff, it is a bit unsightly.

Normally, bee nests are rarely cast together.

I don't know if it's because the habitat here is so good or something else, but there are beehives here.

The last time I found this hive, because I needed honey, Wang Hao asked the giant to pick a part of the hive.

Those colonies that have lost their hives are either looking for abandoned hives to use, or they have fled the area in search of a new place to live.

More than a hundred beehives are too much, so relying on the Black Armor Army to transport them can be regarded as their second mission.

In an open hive like this, it is actually quite simple to catch a colony.

Taming a bee colony is actually a process of capturing a queen bee.

As long as you can catch the queen bee into the hive, and then place the hive near the original hive, those colonies that have left the hive will gradually return.

When they came here, Wang Hao and the others all wore black armor, and their whole bodies were tightly protected.

As for the giants, they are not afraid of these bee stings at all. After all, with such a huge volume, the skin is also very thick, not to mention his immunity to most toxins and strong regenerative ability, the thickness of the skin alone is not something that these ordinary bees can sting through.

The queen bee is usually in the middle of the hive, and although the queen bee also flies, usually, it rarely leaves the hive. Even if its nest is plucked down.

So, when the giant plucked a hive from the bottom of the cliff, most of the bees flew away, but the queen bee did not.

With the help of the system's identification ability, Wang Hao can clearly know which part of the hive the queen bee is in.

Facing the queen bee crawling around, Wang Hao was a little difficult to start, after all, the bee is a very fragile creature, if he accidentally pinched it to death, then this nest of bees can not be caught.

But this is not difficult for Wang Hao. He thought about it, directly took out the Haotian Sword, found the location of the queen bee, and directly dug down the entire hive.

Then, before the queen bee could escape the hive, she sealed it in the hive.

Around the hive, there are eight small holes for ordinary bees to enter and exit.

But the queen bee is larger, and the small hole that the bee can enter and exit, it can't get through. So don't be afraid that it will slip away.

When the queen bee is sealed into the hive, Wang Hao will make a mark on the hive, and then ask the giant to place it on the top of the cliff, waiting for the return of those bees who have left the nest.

As for the black-armored soldiers who couldn't tell the queen bee, it was here that they began to deal with the hives that the giant had taken off.

PS: I haven't kept bees, I checked a lot of information, and in the end, I still relied on half-imagination, half-information to write, if there's anything wrong, cough cough, anyway, this is the great wilderness, what I'm talking about is the truth, (*^__^*) hehe...... (To be continued.) )
