Chapter 284: The Secret of the Wardrobe
The rotten wardrobe seemed to be the main battlefield of the battle between the two bees, and he stood not far away and looked at it for a few minutes, but he didn't see the wardrobe
Don't look at the big size of the earth bees, but the organizational discipline is much worse than that of the little bees, basically those little bees are two or three together to besiege and bite, and rarely one-on-one with the earth bees.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen bees were bitten to death. Liu Junhao was extremely distressed when he saw it, and hurriedly danced the bamboo pole again and beat it.
The bee battle near the wardrobe was obviously fiercer than in Professor Zhao's courtyard, and they looked like they were going crazy, tangled together one by one. As soon as Liu Junhao used a bamboo pole to disperse them, these guys began to fight in the air again, and within two minutes, they fell again near the closet.
Seeing that it had been driven several times in a row to no avail, Liu Junhao shifted his attention to the rotten wardrobe. A closer look at him revealed that there was an anomaly in the wardrobe, and there were bees constantly coming in and out of the large holes that had been bitten by rats.
Isn't it...... His heart moved, and he stepped forward and slammed open the door of the wardrobe, and a light fragrance came to his nose.
"Buzz", a large swarm of bees immediately exploded their wings and swooped towards him.
Liu Junhao hurriedly waved his arms to drive away those bees. Only then did he notice what was happening in front of him: he saw four beehives more than three feet long, like stone stalactites, hanging down the top of the cabinet, and each hive was crawling with dense bees. Look at it, there are about a thousand of them. At the bottom of the closet, there are quite a few bee corpses.
He and Zhang Qian are really late to know, and they don't know when the bees made honeycombs in the wardrobe. Look at this head, I'm afraid it's just spring. It's no wonder that there are more and more bees in the yard during this time, and it turns out that they have made their home in the backyard.
To say that Liu Junhao has to go to the backyard almost every day, but he really doesn't pay attention to it. The main thing is that this place is close to the corner, and he usually doesn't turn around when he's fine.
As for the origin of this nest of bees, he guessed everything. It must be somewhere where the bee colony exploded, and the queen bee led a large swarm of bees to escape. As for their choice to make their home in the backyard, I am afraid that they are attracted by the spring water just like the soil bees.
Seeing the bee falling on him vigorously, Liu Junhao realized that now is not the time to trace the origin, the important thing is to settle these guys.
He closed the door of the closet, then gritted his teeth and slammed the half-man-tall wardrobe over his shoulder. Behind him, a swarm of bees buzzed in pursuit.
"Xiao Hao, what are you doing here...... Professor Zhao was afraid of being stung by a bee just now, so he didn't go into the backyard at all, so he didn't know what was happening in the courtyard. Seeing Liu Junhao rushing out with a large wardrobe, he was stunned, but when he saw the swarm of bees that had exploded behind him, his old man hurriedly flashed to the side.
Until he carried the wardrobe in Professor Zhao's courtyard, Liu Junhao breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, the bees didn't chase after them!
Seeing that the bee colony was gradually calming down, Professor Zhao walked back to his courtyard with palpitations.
"What's going on with this wardrobe?" He asked, looking at the bees coming in and out of the closet.
"I don't know when I built a honeycomb inside, I used to be safe and sound, I don't know what happened today, and suddenly I started fighting," Liu Junhao explained.
It wasn't until they looked it up on the Internet that they found out why.
Affection is really the reason for the lack of nectar source, now is the season of bee incubation, the young bees will soon grow up, and the pollen nectar collected is not enough to eat, so it leads to a big war.
There are quite a few similar situations on the Internet.
As the battle ended, the bees gradually stabilized, and some flew out to collect honey as usual, while others drilled in and out of the small holes in an orderly manner, without the slightest sign of abnormality.
Looking at the clusters of dead earth bees around the courtyard wall, Liu Junhao was very distressed. He roughly counted about one or two thousand native bees killed in the battle, and of course the number of bees lost was not a few.
"Xiao Hao, can you eat this honey?" Professor Zhao looked at the honeycomb in the cabinet, but he was moved by the idea of eating honey.
"This ...... It just so happened that when Liu Junhao heard what he said, he was also moved. If you want to look at the situation of the cover on the honeycomb, it is estimated that one can pick seven or eight taels of honey. Four beehives, roughly estimated to be able to pick more than three catties, are worth two hundred yuan.
Of course, this honey is not sold, and the two families will eat it separately after it is picked.
Seeing that Liu Junhao took an iron hook to hook the hive, Professor Zhao hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Remove the hive, otherwise how will you pick honey?" He thought the old man was asking strangely.
"It's not...... What do you do after you have picked the hive, can you take out the honey without getting rid of the nest? ”
"This ...... It seems that it can't, what if it stings someone? Liu Junhao scratched his head and replied. In the past, when they saw wild honeycombs in the mountains, they would first light a fire to drive away the bee colony, then knock down the beehives and cut the honey when they got home.
"I used to see people cut honey directly on the honeycomb with their bare hands...... As if bees don't sting. Professor Zhao looked at the buzzing bees and said with some uncertainty.
"Bare hands?" Liu Junhao didn't dare to move forward if he really put his hand into the closet, it is estimated that he will become braised fat pig's trotters when he takes it out.
"Why don't you look it up on the Internet, go to the forum and ask, see if anyone understands?" In the end, both of them felt that it was too risky to take honey with their bare hands, so they should check it on the Internet to see how others got it.
Afraid that a single text would have no impact, Liu Junhao took a camera and took more than a dozen photos to cooperate.
As soon as this post was posted on the forum, the following post hurala jumped to the second page. There are still many idlers on the Internet, and he can't help but let out a sigh of admiration. However, up to now, in addition to envying his good luck, netizens have not said a feasible suggestion at all, but there are many people who have proposed to buy honey.
Liu Junhao waited for nearly half a page. As a result, I just refreshed it, but I found that there was an extra short message. When I opened it, it turned out to be a bee who wanted to buy it.
This dude...... He couldn't laugh bitterly, I just wanted to cut some honey. However, since people want to buy bees, they must know something about this, so he hurriedly sent a message in response and asked people to add QQ to chat.
As soon as he chatted, Liu Junhao made a statement, saying that he did not sell this box of bees. He was mainly afraid that the man would misunderstand and think that he had lied to him.
The netizen didn't say anything, only said that the business was not benevolent, and then explained in detail the steps of cutting honey.
It's really freehanded...... Looking at the photo sent by this buddy, Liu Junhao was startled. They stood directly by the honeycomb, and then cut off the honey little by little, and lit a cigarette, without even lighting a torch. Seeing the bees crawling densely, Liu Junhao was a little frightened, and he could only think that the buddy was a strongman.
Why doesn't this thing bite? After listening to the explanation, he learned that as long as you don't move much, the bee will not sting.
Although this buddy's tone is very flat, just let him get started directly. But Liu Junhao felt that this matter was too mysterious, he thought about it, and finally decided to make a fire.
To say that looking at the steps in the photo, there seems to be nothing complicated, and he finally turned his heart to the side and asked Professor Zhao to make a fire with wet wood.
Within a minute of the torch being smoked against the honeycomb, the bees buzzed out and many of them hid in the back.
Seeing the bees fly away, Liu Junhao hurriedly rushed to the wardrobe with a knife. When my hand touched the beeswax, it was slimy, as if I had touched lard. As the knife slid, the golden honey was cut off along with the beeswax.
"Hiss......" Liu Junhao's hand suddenly stiffened. I don't know when, there are already more than a dozen bees on the back of my hand. Luckily, as described by the guy on the Internet, the bees just crawled back and forth, and didn't seem to be much of a honey thief.
He carefully used his knife to block his arm a few times, driving the honey away. Several times in a row, the honey in the closet was emptied. Seven or eight pieces of honey were also placed in the basin, and many bees smelled the sweetness and landed on the basin one after another.
After a long day's work, the two of them were busy with honey. When it was done, Liu Junhao deliberately weighed it with his hands, and it weighed less than four catties.
According to the pre-planned plan, half of the honey was left for Professor Zhao, and he kept the rest to prepare for tea drinking. As for this nest of bees, naturally they can't move back to the yard. Otherwise, when there is a commotion, the loss will be your own.
He thought about it and decided to put the wardrobe in Professor Zhao's courtyard. Stay away from the bees, so that the two nests of bees should not fight again.
"Xiao Hao, I heard that you have attracted another group of wild bees in your yard, have you picked any honey, get me some?" originally planned to surprise his wife at noon, but who knew that less than half an hour after sitting down to rest, Liu Wuye came to the door.
"I said Fifth Master, your news is too well-informed, this is what just happened." Liu Junhao asked very puzzled, as if he didn't tell the people in the village.
"I also heard from others, didn't you post that plaster post on the Internet or something, someone saw it, called our tourists here to order some honey, I was looking for the first strike." He explained with a slight hint of relief.
This...... No wonder people often talk about the global village. But when he heard Liu Wuye say this, he just wanted to laugh: "plaster post" The emotional old man thought that posting on the Internet was a plaster.
"By the way, has the honey been cut, if you don't cut it, I'll come in person, I'm a veteran of this thing" chatted a few words, and Liu Wuye began to get to the point.
"Just finished," he replied helplessly.
Although he really wanted to keep more honey, Liu Junhao couldn't stand Liu Wuye using his elders to oppress people, and in the end, he had to pour a pound into the old man
