Chapter 321 The Honey of Chrysanthemums
I have never seen such a magnificent world of flowers, and I wonder when they have taken over such a large area, expelled all the other herbaceous plants far away, and decorated an otherwise ordinary land with such magnificence, which is truly breathtaking.
"You're here?"
I was startled, and followed the sound to see that Peony was squatting next to the flowers and admiring the tweeds.
A pair of smiling faces greeted us, he spoke without gasping at all, it seemed that the ten-mile road was a piece of cake for him. Before we could speak, Peony asked again:
"Have you ever eaten chrysanthemum nectar?"
I looked at Vermilion, she shook her head, and said:
"Nope. ”
I don't know if I've eaten it, because when I eat honey, I don't usually ask the bees what kind of honey it is, and even if they do, they won't say, they will only talk with their buttocks, and that sharp needle will never let you go.
"I've eaten potpourri nectar, but I haven't eaten chrysanthemum nectar alone. I said with a smile.
"This chrysanthemum field has a large area and a long flowering period, which attracts a lot of bees to settle here, and a lot of honey will be produced during one flowering period. Many red-haired dinosaurs of the pharyngeal tribe will come here to collect honey, they drive the bees away, and then use a thin tube to suck the honey in the hive into the stomach, of course, everyone will not suck the honey clean, because then the bees will abandon the hive and rebuild the hive in another place when they are unhappy, it is not an easy thing to build a hive, many bees are busy building a nest, naturally they can't go to collect honey. In this way, it will inevitably affect the yield of honey. Therefore, no matter who collects honey, there will always be some rations left for the bees. However, the bees' heads are not very good, they don't know how much honey they have in their hive, they just cover their heads every day to collect honey, and after collecting honey, they put it in the hive, and eat some when they are hungry. They only know that there is honey in the hive. They didn't know exactly how much, but they knew there must be honey in it. Once it was found that there was no honey in it. and concluded that the honey had been stolen by whom. Since I stole it, I don't want the hive, and if I stay, it will be stolen. ”
Peony's big call amused us. His point of view is very fresh, although I have studied a lot of bees, when I was talking about jade bees before, I said by the way, I am not a flower thief, but I am a master of honey picking, bees see me, they are trembling all over, and the poisonous needle does not dare to stretch out casually. I chose the time to collect honey, that is, when the honeycomb was full, I ate the honeycomb, and when I lost my claws, the hive became waste, and those bees were nearby, looking at me, and dared not speak out.
The hive is found, and it can no longer be used. Because the bottom of the hive has a connection point connected with the fixation, this point is firmly fixed on the stone or other more stable places, it is the first nest to build, the bee secreted a kind of colloidal material, viscosity is excellent, stability is also good, this connection point is very small compared to the hive, but no matter how big the hive is built, this connection point will not be a problem, it will firmly fix the hive there, it is really "wind and rain do not move like a mountain".
However, once the hive is removed, it is difficult for the bees to move the nest to what they think is safe, and it is impossible to fix it again, so even if they find the nest, there is no way to use it again.
Of course, it is not at all, first of all, they will come and lick the rest of the honey clean. In addition, they will also eat the hives and spit them out to build new nests, and the waste is recycled and reused, which is not wasteful, but it is not easy to build a new nest.
Listening to the peony talk about the practices of the swallowing tribe, and then thinking about myself, I suddenly felt sorry for those hard-working little bees, the same exploitation, I seemed to be more cruel, I not only deprived them of food, but also destroyed their homes, completely disregarding their life and death, and based my sweetness on the pain of these laborers, I asked myself, did I do the right thing?
"Brother, what do you want?" Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Peony felt curious.
"I was thinking about me eating honey in the Murmur tribe. I said.
"Don't think about it, I'll invite you to eat chrysanthemum nectar. Peony said.
"Of course. Zhu Dinghong said, "Chrysanthemum nectar must be very delicious." ”
Zhu Dinghong suddenly showed a look of impatience.
"Don't be in a hurry, follow me. Peony said.
Peony led us a short walk before we came to the vicinity of a big tree. This is an old tree, how many years it has grown, we don't know, and the big tree won't tell you. But the big tree hole that can burrow into a red-haired dinosaur tells you that the age of this big tree cannot be calculated in hundreds.
Countless bees flew in and out of the tree holes, how many? I don't know, dense enough to block your view. There was some unknown grass growing next to the big tree, and the peony went to pick three of them, and each gave us one and kept one for himself.
Cut the head and remove the tail, leaving a straight tube. Peony took the tube in his mouth and blew, and then took it in his mouth, walked to the flowers not far away, pulled up a large cluster of flowers, went straight to the mouth of the tree hole, hummed in his nose I don't know what the tune was, took the bouquet of flowers and went around the tree hole a few times, and then walked out with the flowers, and then, thousands of bees flew out, some landed on the peony's bush of flowers, and some followed and flew in.
Zhu Dinghong stared at me, standing behind me, and he didn't dare to come out.
After a while, more bees flew out of the tree hole.
Peony placed the bouquet in the field of chrysanthemums full of flowers, and the swarm of bees stayed there, buzzing.
After a while.
No more bees flew out of the hollow.
Peony came over and said to us with a smile:
"Go, put your head in the hollow of the tree, and suck the honey. ”
"Aren't you afraid of bee stings?" Zhu Dinghong didn't dare to go over.
"It's okay, they won't sting you. Come, come, my brother invites you to eat chrysanthemum nectar, it's very sweet. Peony said.
"Who will they sting?" asked Zhu Dinghong, who did not move his footsteps.
"You don't care about this yet, eat it quickly, otherwise it will be too late. Brother Jin Hong, come on, come and eat. ”
We followed the example of the peony, cut off the head and tail of the grass, turned it into a tube, and put our heads into the hole of the tree, and sure enough, there was a particularly large beehive, and the fragrance of honey wafted out of it, and the whole space was sweet.
We put the straw tube into the hive, sucked gently, and a sweet taste went straight to our hearts and spleens, and our whole body felt indescribably happy. (To be continued......)
