Chapter 209: Make a wax board and make a beehive
"I was boiling beeswax for beeswax, and the smell of beeswax attracted wild bees. Uncle Wang, this is a good thing, the more wild bees come, it means that our beekeeping business has been a small step successful. ”
"Okay, I heard Satoshi say that you made beeswax, where's the thing? I'll see. ”
"What about the wooden frame, Uncle Wang, what do you think this looks like?"
Wang Guoqing stretched out his head and looked at it, happy, "Yo, why is it like the soap that people bought?" ”
"It's quite like."
Wang Guoqing glanced at it a few times, touched it, and finally asked, "That's it?" ”
"That's not going to work, we'll have to make it into sheets, and then make the beeswax into wax plates, and use the excess beeswax to wipe the beehives. The wax board had to be fixed to the wooden frame, and we had to build a hive for the bees by hand. ”
"If you do a good job, if you really raise it, you will be the hero of our production team." Wang Guoqing praised.
He didn't know much about this, but after listening to what Mei Qingjiu said, he became more confident in the beekeeping business.
Next, Mei Qingjiu took Meng Xiaoliu and the others to pour the freshly boiled wax water into other wooden board frames.
After taking out the beeswax that had been condensed and making it into flakes, she went to Wang Guodong's house.
In order to make beehives, they collected a lot of dry wood from the team, and Wang Guodong used tools to make wooden planks into boxes, as well as the round rollers she wanted.
Wang Guodong saw her and said, "The beehive is not difficult to make, the difficult thing to do is the roller you want, the tools are not easy to use, I carved it out little by little with a knife, and some nails are not so standard." It would be better if this thing could be made by a machine shop. ”
"We can't find a machinery factory for this thing, we only need one, as long as one, people won't bother to open molds for us." Mei Qingjiu said again, "This is already very good, uncle, I will take these things away first, you can make another beehive, don't do more first, and when there are more and more bees, it's not too late for us to add more." ”
"Okay."
This round roller is what she is here to make honeycomb.
After a few decades, it was possible to squeeze the beeswax into the desired wax plate with that kind of machine.
Now I'm afraid that there is not, at least Huaiyang County can't find it, go to other places to look for it, the cost is too big and you may not be able to find it.
She started to draw a simple roller, originally she was worried that Wang Guodong would not be able to do it, but she didn't expect that it was unexpected, and it was better than she imagined.
Mei Qingjiu returned home with the sealing box, rollers, wooden frames and other things.
Holding the roller, it rolls in the long flake beeswax, and there is a hexagonal socket wherever the roller passes.
In the end, artificial squeezing honeycomb is not as good as machinery, and it is particularly laborious.
After squeezing, I took scissors and cut off the area of the small wooden frame piece by piece, and then fixed the wax plates on the wooden frame.
"You've all seen it just now, and the rest of the rest, you fix it according to what I did, and I'll smear and seal the box."
"Okay." Meng Xiaoliu responded.
Mei Qingjiu put the excess beeswax into the pot and reheated it, and then used the brush to brush it in the wooden box little by little, and the beehive must be evenly brushed, not too thick or too thin, four or five millimeters is about the same.
After she finished brushing the two beehives, the others also fixed the wax plates.
"Xiaojiu, what should I do next? Take it out to lure bees? Meng Xiaoliu asked.
"Not yet, wait until the hive is dry."
