Chapter 578: Sweet Honey Tea

Yan Ganghui said: "Let's run on one side, let's shout a number, shout the foot in the middle of one step, and shout the foot on both sides of the second step!" ”

Su Hui: "OK! ”

Soon they were lined up.

As soon as the staff whistled, the two put their arms around each other's necks, shouted "one-two-one-two", and ran fast.

The three-legged two are not only a test of tacit understanding, but also physical fitness.

The round-trip running distance is 40 meters, and Yan Ganghui usually has to pant when he climbs a staircase, but he just took a hot spring spiritual water bath yesterday, and ate potatoes and leeks grown by Lingtu Lingshui in the morning, and he was extremely energetic.

won the first place in the group by a narrow margin compared to the other couple.

The two looked at each other and laughed!

The staff took a lottery ticket and handed it over, smiling, "Congratulations on your victory!" You can go to the drink shop on the other side of the square to exchange for a cup of honey lemon tea. ”

The couple in the back has a piece of candy as a reward, and it's better than nothing.

With the ticket in hand, let's go to the drink shop.

In addition to honey lemon tea, I also ordered a honey yuzu tea.

Yan Ganghui saw a sign next to him: "The honey used in our store is a product of the Shanshui Natural Community Cooperation Project......"

Waiting for the process of honey tea blending, it is boring to be idle, so I read it.

The people in the Guanba area of Sichuan used to live largely on timber!

The income comes from cutting down trees, transporting them, and some other resources from the mountains.

For example, takin, wild boar, and even bear meat are sold in restaurants.

In the past, natural resources were abundant, and golden monkeys and giant pandas were frequent visitors.

But gradually, it is difficult to see any wild animals, and the cold-water fish that are special to the river are almost extinct because of the electric fish, and the environment is getting worse.

Guanba is located on the edge of the Tangjiahe Reserve, and in order to protect the community, it is necessary to provide the villagers with another livelihood, so a series of work has been done to allow the villagers to raise Chinese bees.

The Chinese bee itself is an endangered pollinator, and it can be said that killing three birds with one stone can be said to use nectar source plants in the forest of the panda's habitat to make honey, which can not only protect the bees, but also protect the forest and provide a livelihood for the villagers.

Although honey is in the market and does not really make much money, it brings attention, and attention is also an important resource. The same lubricant that brought about a change in the minds of the villagers.

It turns out that it is not only about cutting down trees, but also about making money by collecting medicine from electric fish.

Later, the villagers began to participate in some conservation cooperation projects, patrolling for 140 yuan a day, and a few years ago, the villagers formulated a convention that they were not allowed to hunt, dig medicinal herbs, or electrocute fish at will, and each villager signed it.

The cold-water fish population is gradually recovering, and the animals that had disappeared are also returning.

is also relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, the villagers' wallets have bulged, and their hometowns have also turned back to green waters and green mountains.

However, there are more and more cases of black bears stealing honey, and in preparation for hibernation, black bears will eat a lot from July to October, which is also the time when honey is ripe.

Compared with the scattered wild beehives in the forest, the hundreds of beehives in the apiary are undoubtedly a feast for black bears, not only destroying the hives with brute force, but also sweeping away the pupa and eggs. It was very damaging to the villagers' attitude towards protection.

In addition to making some bear prevention alarms, Shanshui Nature has held a meeting to discuss a set of approved plans under the principle of community leadership, and established a black bear accident fund, which has also recently been put into operation.

Some Asian elephant communities in Yunnan are now carrying out similar honey conservation projects.

"Sir, your honey tea is ready!"

Yan Ganghui came back to his senses and sighed with some emotion, he couldn't imagine that there was such a story behind the honey.

Conservation work is not a smooth task, and it is indeed a test of human wisdom to balance the development of villagers and nature conservation.

He and Su Hui picked up a cup of honey drink and took a sip.

Not to mention, it's sweet and sweet, and with the special flavor of lemon, it's quite delicious.

Walking around the square, I saw some signs with bee motifs!

He wasn't interested in bees at all, but after reading the story of honey and the community, he drank honey tea again, so he naturally stopped to look at the sign.

There is a sign to introduce interesting facts about bees!

For example, bees can fly 24 kilometers in an hour.

It does not hibernate in winter, but instead huddles in its nest while its wings vibrate to keep warm.

To obtain one kilogram of honey, bees need to pick 1 million flowers, work 33,300 hours, and fly 450,000 kilometers, which is equivalent to 11 circles around the earth.

"Wow!" Su Hui couldn't help but glance at the honey tea in her hand and exclaimed, "No wonder it's called a hard-working little bee!" ”

Do you have to fly thousands of kilometers to make such a cup of honey tea? It's much harder than a delivery person.

Yan Ganghui was attracted by another sign: "Huh! Bees disappear and humans only live for four years? ”

I wondered, are bees really so important?

Without bee pollination, isn't there still butterflies that can't fill the gap for bees?

This is a very common idea!

But the ecological niche is not like a building block for children to play with, and it can be placed around at will. Each animal has its own unique ecological role.

Tigers, leopards, and wolves are all predators, but only tigers can effectively control the wild boar population.

After the extinction of the dodo, the large cranial olive tree, which mainly relies on the dodo to digest and grind the seed coat, has become increasingly rare.

Like dominoes, once one piece is overturned, it brings a series of chain reactions.

Nature's structure is complex and sophisticated, and although there is a certain degree of fault tolerance, there is a limit to this fault tolerance.

Yan Ganghui looked at the exhibition board, and his face gradually became a little more solemn.

One-third of human food depends directly or indirectly on bees for pollination, and not only bees are threatened, but other pollinators such as butterflies and bats are also in danger of extinction, and they are not being able to protect themselves, let alone replace them.

If this continues, nutritious crops such as vegetables and fruits will be replaced by a few crops such as rice and potatoes, resulting in nutritional imbalance and severe famine for mankind.

Just thinking about how many years I can only eat potatoes and rice makes me feel that my life is bleak and I lose the joy of life.

A sign at the back introduces what you can do to protect bees!

For example, planting a variety of native plants with different flowering periods and buying raw honey from local farmers to promote the development of beekeeping.

Avoid the use of pesticides and herbicides, do a good job of garbage separation, and protect wild beehives.

Of course, we also raise awareness of the importance of bees.

Only with understanding can we care, and only with concern can we act.

Yan Ganghui immediately took a few photos and posted them to the circle of friends: "Today's 520 is also World Bee Day, I can't imagine that little bees are so important!" They also deserve our respect and love, let's compare them to the little bees. ”

A friend commented: "Weird holiday! ”
