Chapter 502 The Great War of the Earth Nest Bee 2
When he returned home, Liu Junhao immediately called Er Mazi, Liu Qiyong and others, saying that they had found a nest bee and asked them to prepare for a guy to come over immediately.
Now the tourists are so bold, as soon as they heard that there was a lively look, Liu Junhao's courtyard actually gathered a large group. I can't persuade you to leave, I want to see how powerful the legendary killer bee is.
Apparently...... They didn't have an intuitive impression of the horror of the swarm bees, and they talked about it happily one by one.
"Liu Junhao, are you sure about it, it's a nest bee or a small earth bee, don't make everyone scared." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Er Mazi asked. There are two kinds of bees that make nests underground in Liujiagou, one is the more common small earth bee, the body size is slightly smaller than the bee, the toxicity is not great, Liu Junhao They often encountered when they were digging mouse holes, the nest is generally the size of an egg, and the largest is not more than a basketball.
Then there's the nest bee, which is larger than a wasp, as thick as a little finger, and has a black and yellow ring on its belly. There are thousands of them as soon as they appear, and they are extremely lethal and attacking, and they are the most ferocious of all bees. It is precisely because the ground nest bee is so terrifying that the people of Daqingshan are determined to get rid of this thing when they see it.
Ground bees generally build their hives underground, and like ants, they puff mud through their beaks until they dig into a circular cavity in the ground. The large honeycomb has five or six layers, and each layer is the size of a pot lid. That's why there's a small mound of dirt on it, and it's all mud from the nest.
Speaking of the example of Liujiagou being stung by a nest bee, it should be the old bull's head. More than ten years ago, when he was grazing cattle in the mountains, he inadvertently led the ox through a mound of dirt, and he didn't pay attention at that time, and the hind legs of the ox happened to step on the mound.
As the ground was dug into a hollow, the mound was immediately trampled, and suddenly a black wind blew around, and countless swarms attacked the cattle and the old cows. People in their fifties were stunned and cried out. If it weren't for the fact that someone in the village happened to be planting crops on the mountain beam, he hurried to the scene when he heard the call and carried him to the house of a fellow doctor in time for treatment, which saved his life. Later, the village doctor treated his wounds, and more than 20 stingers were pulled out of his body.
The old scalper was not so lucky, and by the time people found it, it had already lost its breath.
In addition to Liujiagou, many villagers in other villages were stung to death and stung. In the past, there were relatively few pesticides in crops, but ground wasps were common. Now this thing is much rarer, and it is the second time that Liu Junhao has seen such a big thing. Of course, the first time was when the old bull's head was stung, when he was more than ten years old, and he remembers it clearly.
"Really, the yellow cowhide is so thick that the stinger of the nest bee can penetrate it?" A tourist asked puzzled.
"It's rare and weird, you can wear leather gloves, you say it's not amazing," Liu Qiyong followed behind.
"Xiao Hao, shouldn't this thing be the same as your native bees, it is a specialty of Liujiagou, and they also produce honey, right?"
"My native bee is not comparable to this, this thing is much more powerful. They mainly eat insects, and occasionally collect nectar, even if they have honey. Liu Junhao replied. In his memory, he didn't seem to have heard of anyone picking honey from the nest.
A group of people were noisy, and soon came to the embankment, and following the direction pointed by Liu Junhao, they all saw a small earthen bag.
"It's really a nest bee ......" Seeing a black bee passing overhead, Er Mazi was so frightened that he hurriedly squatted down.
"What are you going to smoke the ground bee with, it can't be wild celery, right?" Seeing that everyone was holding a fire-making utensil, the tourist who spoke earlier asked. He had seen smoked flies with wild celery in Liujiagou a few days ago, and the effect was surprisingly good.
"Wild celery is good, but it is too poisonous, and after smoking, the ground bee pupae in it cannot be eaten. They can be smoked to death with wet firewood......" Liu Qiyong explained.
Ermazi divided labor on the spot, and asked a few people to go around to cut artemisia grass and mugwort leaves. These two plants have a strong smell and a lot of smoke, making them excellent materials for the destruction of ground nest bees. Now in this season, there is grass everywhere, so there is no need to worry about causing fires. Now that the sun is about to set, the ground bees have returned to their nests, and they are just in time to catch them all. In fact, night is the best time to get rid of the nest bees, but no one wants to run so far at night.
With the help of tourists, a group of people quickly cut several large piles of artemisia grass.
Liu Junhao and Liu Qiyong put on raincoats, tied their trouser legs, and then carefully approached the dirt bag with the wheat straw they had obtained in advance. They are careful in their movements, for fear of alarming the swarms.
The dry wheat straw was circled, and the two men covered it with artemisia grass.
It's a bit hot even in shirts, not to mention the raincoats. After a few minutes of hard work, the two of them were sweating.
The circle around the dirt bag was tight, and Liu Junhao and the two lit wheat straw at the same time, and suddenly a thick smoke rose, and they quickly formed a circle. Everyone stood in the distance, and they could no longer see the small dirt bag in it.
"Xiao Hao, pick up the bamboo pole" Er Mazi shouted from afar and handed over a long bamboo pole.
Don't look at the tall dirt bag, but the inside has already been hollowed out. When the bamboo pole poked up, I heard a boom in the thick smoke, and the dirt bag collapsed directly.
Then there was a buzzing sound, and countless black and yellow ground bees crawled out of the burrow, flashing their wings and rushing towards the smoke.
The scalps of the two of them looked at outside the smoke for a while, and they subconsciously moved farther away.
They were worried that it would be redundant, the power of the wet wormwood leaves and artemisia grass was extremely powerful, and those ground bees had just taken off and immediately fell into the fire like an out-of-control fighter jet, and there was no chance of escape.
Seeing that there was no danger, Liu Junhao hurriedly used a bamboo pole to pick a few bundles of wheat straw and mugwort leaves that were still on the mound, and they bloomed in the middle.
The accomplices were busy, and Liu Qiyong began to look around for the secondary hole of the scorpion. In addition to the main hole, there are several secondary openings for this thing. If you let the nest bees escape from the nest, even if there are only two or three of them, it will be considered a failure, because no one can defend against their attacks! However, he looked around, but did not find any swarms flying out, and it was obvious that the secondary cave entrance was also shrouded in smoke.
Liu Junhao kept picking up firewood to add to the fire, and the frightened ground nest bees drilled towards the hole in a panic, but unfortunately their wings burned when they caught fire, and they couldn't fly at all, only hearing a low and panicked "buzzing" sound from the hive. In less than ten minutes, the nest bees that came out of the hole were burned to death, and the occasional ones that missed the net were just crawling and struggling on the ground.
"Almost, huh?" Hearing the sound in the cave gradually disappearing, Liu Qiyong asked.
"Hmm" Liu Junhao nodded, raised his foot and trampled the fish on the ground to death.
"Take me to get the shovel, you continue to make a fire," Liu Qiyong said, and then walked towards the crowd in the distance.
"We've got rid of the swarms, we can get over," one anxious tourist asked aloud.
"Don't panic, wait until you dig it up and take a look" Although it has been determined that it is safe, Er Mazi does not dare to let tourists take risks. Because there are likely to be crawling adult bees nearby, it would be troublesome if they accidentally crawled into the trouser legs.
The two were afraid of digging up the hive, so they did not dig above the hole, but deviated thirty or forty centimeters to the sides. The soil is so soft that a few shovels dig into the hive.
Liu Junhao opened the fire just now, and when they opened the nest, they found that most of the ground bees had been smoked to death, although a few barely survived, but they also lost their ability to attack.
The first hive is only slightly larger than the bowl, four or five centimeters thick, and it looks quite sturdy.
The two continued to dig, layer after layer, and the beeswax between the layers was connected into a whole. The area of the honeycomb gradually increased, and the largest layer in the middle was already the size of a pot lid.
The dead bees on the ground are not wasted, this thing is a medicinal material, and the effect of soaking in wine to treat rheumatism is very good, and there are people in the town who collect it, and they pay a dime a piece. Don't look at the low price, but it can't withstand the large amount, there are about thousands of ground bees in this hive, and it can be sold for four or five hundred yuan.
Liu Junhao didn't waste it either, and swept them all into the snakeskin bag.
After digging to the end, they found that this nest beehive was larger than expected, with a total of seven floors. When the honeycomb is taken out, the appearance is very unique, and it looks like a seven-story exquisite pagoda from a distance. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a tourist had already offered 500 yuan to buy it.
"You want to buy it for 500 yuan, and the one in Xiaohao Courtyard last time sold for 1,000 yuan." Ermazi even said that it was not for sale.
Wrapping the hive in plastic sheeting, the two of them relaxed and ran into the distance. After confirming that there were no missing live bees on their bodies, the two hurriedly took off their helmets and raincoats.
Good fellow, it's not easy to burn this nest bee, and the two of them are now as if they were fished out of the water, and they are all wet. After Liu Junhao and the two threw the hive to Er Mazi, they each rushed home to change their clothes.
"Is it burned?" Seeing her husband come back in embarrassment, Zhang Qian asked eagerly.
"It's okay, it's OK,"
In line with the principle that those who see have a share, after arriving at Er Mazi's house, Liu Junhao asked the tourists present to pick up some soaking wine to drink.
After sorting the nest bees, several people began to pick the young bees again. Although these young bees have not yet bitten the seal and come out of the nest, they also have terrible poisonous needles. If you crawl out of the nest, it can also cause harm to people, so it must be removed early.
They were picking and choosing, and they didn't notice that a big rooster of Ermazi's family rushed to them, and they pecked out seven or eight young bees in two bites.
Several men hurriedly stretched out their hands to drive them away, but before they could make any move, suddenly the old rooster clucked and sprang up, flared his wings like madness and rushed to the roof.
Within two minutes, he fell headlong, and when Liu Junhao rushed over, the rooster could no longer move. I saw a huge lump swollen on the chicken leg, and there was a ground bee on it.
It was so poisonous that one stung the big rooster to death, and no tourists thought that Ermazi was scaring them
Getting rid of the young bees, the rest is much simpler, which is to pick the bee pupa.
This bee pupa is a few points bigger than the golden jade queen bee pupa, and the price is not as good as the golden jade queen bee pupa, but it is not low. When Liu Junhao called Huo Jun, he had already offered to buy it at a price of 100 yuan per catty. As for the hive, it was naturally booked by him in advance.
This trip is very dangerous, but the reward is not small. There are seven or eight catties of bee pupae picked from the hive alone. They didn't plan to sell them all, but left a pound to fry the current snacks at night.
