Chapter 147: Shake the honey and meet the black bear again

When he saw that the beehive was safe and sound, Gao Mingcheng had to admit that he was relieved.

He first went to check the situation in the beehive, he had a total of twenty beehives, except for the two intact, the rest of the beehives had just attracted honey to build a nest, although there was a shallow layer of honey in the nest on the bee's spleen, but it was both small and thin, and it still needed time to brew.

If the honey is too thin, the water content is high, and the honey is liquid, which can be shaken at will, and the taste is light and not very sweet.

Brewed honey will have a thicker texture, sweeter taste, and can be stored for a longer time.

In the two intact beehives, the bee spleen is already full of honey, and the color is dark, because the honey has been completely brewed.

Gao Mingcheng's wild bee colony in the mountains here, if classified, belongs to the Italian bee, so he introduced the beehive in the Italian bee, the Italian bee is suitable for breeding large groups, because the Italian bee is easy to maintain a strong group, each beehive, you can gradually add the bee spleen, can always be added to the eight.

There are sixteen of these two beehives, and each bee spleen is full of honey on both sides.

Strange to say, at first, Gao Mingcheng had to wear protective clothing to prevent bees from stinging him, but as he came into constant contact with the bee colony, when he got close to the beehive, these bees would buzz around him, but they were never stung again.

In this case, Gao Mingcheng did not wear self-made protective clothing anymore, after all, it is not convenient to operate in protective clothing.

He first took out a bee spleen and shook it gently, letting the bees that covered it scatter.

Although the bee spleen is full of honey, it will not flow out, because on the top, it is also covered with a layer of wax cap, and before shaking the honey, the wax cap must be cut off with a knife, so that the honey inside will be thrown from the bee spleen into the wooden barrel of shaking honey under the action of centrifugal force, and will be collected by the wooden barrel.

Gao Mingcheng used the dagger he carried with him to cut off the wax cover, this step, the hand must be stable, not too much, otherwise it will be wasted, cut less, the wax cover will not be cut off, and the hand is unstable, it is easy to cut crooked.

Gao Mingcheng didn't master it well at first, but after trying it, he quickly found the angle and strength of the cutting, and the person who practiced boxing had extremely stable hands, so the wax cover on the bee's spleen was quickly removed by him.

After cutting it off, you can put it into the honey shaker, this honey shaker is not big, only two sheets, one on the left and one on the left.

After Gao Mingcheng cut two bee spleens, he could shake the honey.

He placed the two bee spleens on the frame inside the barrel, and then quickly pulled the rope to make the spleen rotate along the axis of the barrel, and the honey in the honey spleen could be thrown to the bottom of the barrel.

Gao Mingcheng pulled the rope, looking at the fast-rotating shaft and bee spleen in the barrel, there was no trace of worry in his heart, this honey shaker made by the carpenter was not bad to use.

It's just pulling the rope and scrapping hands, but this problem is not big, Gao Mingcheng has strength.

So he shook the two bee spleens, and when the sixteen bee spleens were shaken, the barrel had already collected half a bucket of honey.

This is because there are too many honey in these two boxes, since the introduction of beehives last autumn, until mid-April this year, the honey was shaken, which is naturally a lot.

The next is the season of flowers, there is no shortage of nectar sources in the mountains, you can shake the honey once every two months, or even a month and a half, depending on the amount of honey in the bee's spleen.

"Done!" Gao Mingcheng looked at the collected honey, smelled the sweet taste, and was a little happy in his heart.

It's just that when he saw the two beehives, he shook out so much honey, Gao Mingcheng thought to himself, if the other eighteen beehives were intact, then he could shake out more honey!

Heartache, loss of 100 million!

But something has already happened and it is not stopped in time, then the consequences can only be accepted.

He continued to put the honey back into the hive, as long as the bee spleen was not obviously damaged, it could be used again, and the bees would repair it, and although most of the honey was shaken out, there was actually a little left, stuck to the bee spleen, and this part could also be used as rations for the honey.

After putting away the bee spleen and covering the beehive, Gao Mingcheng was ready to go home with the honey shaker.

At this time, the black tiger on the side of the guard suddenly barked wildly, and even the elves barked in a certain direction.

The barking of the dog is full of a sense of crisis in the face of a great enemy.

Gao Mingcheng instinctively clenched the dagger and looked at the direction that the black tiger was staring at, his eyesight was good, and his hearing had also improved, but his previous attention had been on shaking honey, and he was not so vigilant about his surroundings.

But that's also because of the presence of black tigers and elves, and the hounds can play a good role as a vigilance.

At this time, he listened intently, and heard the sound of the mountains and forests shaking, which only a huge beast can only make when it runs in the mountains and forests.

Is it a tiger? Or a black bear?

He had never seen a tiger in the mountains, but he had seen a black bear, plus there was a small half-barrel of honey beside him, the sweet smell of honey permeated the nearby air, and the black bear's sense of smell and hearing was very sensitive, they could smell half a kilometer away in the wind, and could hear footsteps 300 steps away.

But they have poor vision, so they are called "black blind people".

At this time, the huge black bear that Gao Mingcheng had encountered before was rushing towards the place where Gao Mingcheng was.

In fact, the day is not the time when black bears are active, and they generally choose to sleep in caves or tree cavities during the day, and will not come out to move out until night.

But this is also a general rule, not absolutely.

Some black bears also come out to forage during the day, and the last time Gao Mingcheng encountered a black bear, it was also during the day.

From the moment the situation was perceived to the arrival of the black bear, it was only half a minute.

Gao Mingcheng didn't have time to escape, and he didn't plan to escape.

When the huge figure of the black bear was reflected in his eyes, his usually peaceful eyes gradually changed and became aggressive.

I just felt sorry that the honey was ruined by the black bear, and this black bear dared to appear!

He can't escape, he has to subdue this black bear, either drive it away or kill it directly. Otherwise, how else would he be beekeeping in the mountains?

These twenty boxes of bees are just a preliminary attempt by him, if it goes well, he will add beehives in the future, and when the time comes, just selling honey will be able to make a lot of money in a year.

But there is a black bear in the mountains, a honey thief, and this beekeeping is not safe.

Gao Mingcheng didn't bring a bird gun or a javelin, only a dagger by his side, and at this time there were some wax caps and honey stuck to the dagger.

"Wow!" Although facing the great enemy, the black tiger did not retreat, still standing in front of Gao Mingcheng, swearing to protect him.

The elf was a little frightened, and it turned its body restlessly, as if trying to escape, but in the end it did not flee.

The master is still there, the eldest brother is still there, how dare the younger brother escape?
