Section 525 - Letter Bee
"Be careful!"
The jade-patterned queen bee that grew up with ** blood and royal jelly has completely become an outlier, and the snowy eagle stares at it deadly, after all, no one dares to guarantee that this newborn little demon has no ill will towards the child.
If there is any hostile behavior, Xue Niang will not hesitate to cut the other party into cubes.
The jade-patterned queen bee the size of a fist slowly landed on Li Xiaobai's outstretched palm, stretched out her thin tongue, and licked it gently, as if to remember his taste.
"It's okay! it won't attack me!
Li Xiaobai noticed that the chaotic green lotus in his mind projected a thin pale yellow line, which was falling on the queen bee in front of him, and he could even clearly feel the other party's emotions.
It was a sense of gratitude, euphoria, and a little bit of excitement, and it was certain that the continuous feeding of the essence blood had created some kind of latent connection between the two parties.
"From today onwards, I will name you Huang Rong!"
"Boom......"
The jade-veined queen bee let out a crisp tremor of joy.
Okay! The big devil Li called this little thing prosperous, and it didn't have a choice! It's so stupid and easy to deceive.
Li Xiaobai put the jade-patterned queen bee on his shoulder, took out the Yuanyang sword, and directly slashed at the lower half of the hive, and the hive with hundreds of catties was cut down, he drove the flying sword and sank down, caught it, and then slowly fell to the ground.
The swarm of bees flying in the sky still surrounded him and refused to disperse, but it did not riot because part of the hive was captured, it seemed that the queen bee of the jade pattern suppressed the entire bee colony from the moment of birth.
Li Xiaobai took out a rattan basket that had been woven in the past two days, the body was more than a zhang high, the thickness of the water tank, and the gap between the rattan weaving was very large, enough to make any jade-veined bee free from all corners.
The cut beehive was put directly into it, and there were criss-crossing rattans inside that held it firmly in and out.
The hives on this hive not only have a large number of honeycombs, but also quite a few pupal houses.
"We're leaving!"
Li Xiaobai carried this huge rattan basket and walked towards the river beach downstream of the waterfall.
"Is that all there is to it?"
The Snow Condor Snow Lady was puzzled, could it be that the boy was greedy and cut a piece of beehive and brought it back to eat?
She admits that the honey of the jade-veined bee is indeed very sweet, but it is too little to take away only such a little.
"It's enough to separate the colony. ”
Li Xiaobai cut off this hive not for eating.
As the hive on the cliff became farther and farther away, the colony began to separate, and a small number of soldier bees and worker bees followed Li Xiaobai and began to burrow into the crevices of the rattan basket, while the others returned to their old nests.
It's as simple as splitting bees, you don't have to command from start to finish, and the colony will instinctively chase after the new and old queens.
Jade bees and other bees have a strict social system with a clear division of labor, and the amount of unfertilized at the time of hatching and the amount of royal jelly eaten will determine the social division of bee eggs.
However, after hatching a new queen bee, Li Xiaobai's purpose in this line has not been fully accomplished, at best, it can only be regarded as half.
The worker bees and soldier bees that follow the cut hives do not live long, and can only temporarily feed and protect the queen bee for a while.
In order for the queen bee to maintain the entire colony, it is necessary to give birth to the next generation of new worker bees and soldier bees, which are the thousands of miles of communication bees that Li Xiaobai wants.
The hives in the rattan baskets store a lot of royal jelly, and the separated worker bees continue to collect pollen and nectar to make honey and royal jelly, even though the new queen bee who controls them is extremely large and eats more than the ordinary queen bee, but there is still no pressure.
After a week of recuperating in the rattan basket, the queen bee finally rose into the air.
In an instant, all the bee colonies within a radius of 100 miles boiled, not only jade-veined bees, but also tiger bees, wasps, wasps, and dozens of bees seemed to have received some kind of signal at the same time, and collectively poured out of the nest, and the black smoke in the mountains and forests was visible to the naked eye, rising and flying into the sky.
Huang Rong, the queen bee of the jade pattern, flew higher and higher proudly, and the drones from all directions were guarded by their respective swarms, as if they were princes from all countries, chasing the queen of bees in the world of Shennong River.
Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman.
Jagged wattles, left and right flowing. My Fair Lady, I covet it.
I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it. Leisurely, tossing and turning.
Jagged wattles, picked left and right. My Fair Lady, Friends of the Piano.
Jagged wattle, left and right. My Fair Lady, bells and drums.
The overwhelming swarm of bees gathered into a black cloud that stretched for miles, surrounding the jade-veined queen bee in the center, and the strongest drone chased after me, trying to chase the figure in the sky that flew higher and higher, and soon even the small black dot was gone.
"This, this is ......"
Xue Niang had never seen such a grand occasion, and her eyes widened as she watched the queen bee fly higher and higher, and the drones below flapped their wings with all their might, trying to catch up with the "beautiful girl".
Some of the drones with weak constitutions were blown out of direction by the increasingly violent winds, and not all drones could keep up with the queen bee, only the strongest drones were qualified to match the queen bee.
In the past, it was impossible to see such a grand occasion on the snowy plateau, and the queen bee wedding in the entire Shennong River was unprecedented.
"No, these drones are mortal, and they can't catch up at all!"
The jade-veined queen bee had already flown out of sight, and Li Xiaobai had to take out a monocular and recapture it under the prompting of Xue Niang.
The swarm of bees danced for about an hour, and the drones below were thrown out of a thousand meters away, and the distance became farther and farther away, and many drones and worker bees were exhausted and fell from the sky.
The bee clouds in the sky gradually thinned out.
The jade-patterned queen bee of the demon is not comparable to ordinary bees in terms of body shape and physical strength, and I am afraid that those drones are all exhausted to death, and it is impossible to catch up with it.
In this way, wouldn't the queen bee who has been carefully cultivated be in vain?
If the queen bee has not been mated, it is incomplete, if the ordinary drones are cheapened in vain, the bee colony bred will probably drop a lot, and it will also make Li Xiaobai's efforts twice as effective.
Failing to deliberately cultivate drones seems to be a mistake.
The queen bee's Wang Tai is easy to distinguish, but no one can tell which are the eggs of fertilized worker bees or soldier bees, which are not fertilized, and will grow into drones eggs, with a large number of spleen bees, Li Xiaobai's little sperm and blood is far from enough, even if a mature drone is caught, I am afraid that people will not take the initiative to take ** blood, even if it is forcefully fed, it is not as good as the cultivation of sperm and blood in the incubation process, with its limited lifespan, the possibility of turning into a demon is even more minimal.
Just as Li Xiaobai was becoming more and more disappointed, a little golden light flew quickly in the sky, flashing like a signal light, and each flicker would break through more than 100 meters.
The monoculars happened to sense this scene.
It seems to be a rare xenomorph drone, although it has not turned into a demon, it is estimated that it is not far away.
I don't know where it came from, but I noticed the signal of the queen bee looking for a mate, so I flew over desperately.
Adjusting the focal length, the lens of the monocular quickly made the figure of the xenomorph drone clear, two large and two small four membranous wings were narrow and powerful, the head and arthropods were golden, shining in the sun, the whole body was like velvety body hair, and the flight speed was extremely fast.
If the barbarian wizards in the south saw it, they would definitely be surprised and exclaimed as a top-notch Gu worm.
The flickering golden light flew higher and higher, and soon outpaced the drones who were still trying their best to resist the high winds and rush upwards, and got closer and closer to the jade-veined queen bee approaching the clouds.
The two small black dots soon approached each other, chasing each other and looking at each other, and soon disappeared into the clouds.
"It's a pity!"
Li Xiaobai put down the binoculars and shook his head.
"Okay?"
What happened to the jade-veined queen bee and the alien drone that came from afar, the snowy condor was confused, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the clouds, and he saw the two bees flickering together, and he didn't know what kind of dance they were dancing.
"Huang Rong has found a mate, and that xenomorph drone will not be long dead! ”
Li Xiaobai knows how cruel the world of insects is.
Crossing the tail with the queen bee is not a happy thing, but a deadly business, otherwise how would you say that the green bamboo snake is in the mouth, and the wasp tail is on the needle.
There are also praying mantises, spiders eating their puppets, which is the so-called show of affection and death.
The final result of this free love is that the drone bee is exhausted, and the jade-veined queen bee has since become the only female queen bee.
The kind of fairy tale of Prince Charming and Snow White living happily together forever cannot happen in a bee colony, and every queen bee is an unscrupulous Wu Meiniang.
"That golden bee is going to die?"
Xue Niang exclaimed, she would never have thought that the spouse of the newborn queen bee would end up like this, why are there so many drones still desperate to rush to it.
"That's right!" Li Xiaobai explained slightly, but when the snowy eagle looked at the bee colony again, he was deeply jealous.
Xue Niang has been widowed, and even entangled with her husband and murderer, but she never thought that there was such a ruthless and unrighteous species in this world.
As if guessing Xue Niang's disgust, Li Xiaobai said: "Any bee, they are not as individuals, there are queen bees, there are drones, there are worker bees, each performing its own duties, the division of labor is clear, together it can be regarded as a complete bee colony, drones are like feathers on your body, they will naturally fall off and renew, their joys, sorrows and sorrows are different from ours, so you don't need to think about it." ”
"I see!"
Hearing Li Xiaobai compare the drone that sacrificed for the continuation of the colony to a feather, Xue Niang was able to understand what kind of existence the colony was.
Each bee is equivalent to a cell, and together it is a complete organism with a natural metabolism, so it is no longer strange to look at the various behaviors of bee colonies from this perspective.
After waiting for about an hour, suddenly a golden light fell from the clouds, and the bee colony that was still hovering suddenly dispersed and returned to its own hive.
Countless birds and finches flew from all directions, pounced into the woods where the dead drones fell, happily pecked at the carcasses of the drones, and re-enacted the cycle of nature.
Xue Niang said with some sadness: "It's dead!"
"It's its mission!"
Li Xiaobai looked at all this calmly as usual.
Whether it is one step away from the demon, or whether it has already turned into a demon, there is no way to refuse this instinct, or fate.
The golden light flickered for a moment, and finally it completely dimmed, and disappeared into the mountains and forests, and I don't know which bird it would fall into.
It didn't take long for the exhausted Jade Queen Bee to fly back and burrow into the vine basket.
The jade-veined bees flying around the hive followed closely and flew into the hive, you squeeze me, I squeeze you, forming a dense ball of bees, enveloping the entire hive, as if in the final coronation ceremony.
Li Xiaobai took out a sackcloth several zhang long, wrapped the entire rattan basket in it, tied it tightly with a thick hemp rope, and finally left a rope loop at the top.
"We're back!"
Li Xiaobai raised his sword light, and the Snowy Condor grabbed the rope ring, carrying a huge rattan basket and flying into the sky together.
On the hive inside the rattan basket, the jade-veined queen bee, which is densely wrapped in a swarm of bees, begins to give birth to its first eggs.
-
I originally planned to travel for a week, but I didn't expect to return to the imperial capital Tianjing after a month.
Seeing the Snowy Condor grabbing a behemoth and following Li Xiaobai back, Wuchengzi looked at the "big package" in surprise and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"Letter Bee!"
Li Xiaobai asked Xue Niang to hang the rattan basket loaded with the hive on the big branch in the backyard, and he gave a new name to the jade-patterned bee colony he brought back.
The next generation of the queen bee and the xenomorph drone is an unprecedented bee species, and this result is completely unexpected to him.
Despite being wrapped in linen, the hive stocked up on honey and the snowy Condor deliberately controlled its flight speed, and many of the worker and soldier bees that followed the queen bee migrating still died, but fortunately, many more eggs began to hatch in the empty hive.
As soon as they unwrapped the sackcloth, the jade-veined bees that had been suffocating for several days along the way seemed to be free all at once, and they collectively poured out of their nests, buzzing and flying in all directions, looking for the freshest flowers and replenishing the many rations consumed.
"Letter bee, do you want to eat honey?"
Mujoko couldn't understand that the Demon Lord had been out for more than a month, just for such a hive.
According to the usual preferences of the Demon Lord who never gets tired of eating and drinking, there is really nothing wrong with the rattan basket and the beehive in the basket just to enjoy the appetite of the appetite, and suddenly abandon the work of the imperial capital to find delicious honey.
As for the letter bee, Wuchengzi has never even heard of it.
Hanging the rattan basket containing the hive on the tree doesn't have to worry about it anymore, the queen bee will manage the entire colony on her own, so that the new bee species can grow and grow.
