Chapter 268: Poke the hornet's nest

"Little bee, I am busy collecting honey, I love labor and study. We all want to learn from him..."

Qiqi hummed a big braid in her mouth and jumped on the grass. In front of her, several big bees were buzzing and making noise.

This bee is very large and has a similar body shape to a fat man’s big thumb cover. It has dense black hair and some white patterns, which looks similar to a bear. Therefore, its scientific name is "bumblebee". The people in Kuangshantun call them Tu Leizi.

"This bee is big enough and flies fast. It collects a lot of honey. One is one, so I want it!" Old Wu said excitedly. He and the fat man were a few feet away from Qiqi. In Daqing Mountain, there were many wild bee colonies, so there was no need to go to Lao Linzi at all, and there was no need to consider safety.

"It seems that it's not possible. There are at most hundreds of bees in a nest of earth thunder. The breeding of bees mainly wins by quantity." Lao Yaozi immediately expressed his opinion.

Old Wu head was immediately discouraged: "Qiqi, hurry up and drive them away. They are around, and no other bees dare to move forward."

Qiqi immediately waved her hand and several bumblebees flew away reluctantly. But soon, another small group of yellow bees flew over and circled above her head.

"It's this kind of bee that bit my bees to death yesterday!" When Lao Wu saw it, he immediately became angry, as if he saw an enemy.

"There are the most bee-stricken bee-skinned people in the mountains. If bears steal honey, they usually look for their honeycombs, and they probably produce a lot of honey." The owner of the car company learned from many things and quickly introduced it to Lao Wu.

Lao Yaozi also added next to him: "I have also seen many bees split into nests. That guy, thousands of bees squeezed into a large ball, just as big as a noodles bag, making people's scalp numb."

The fat man has a better look and can see clearly. This bee has a much burly body shape than a bee. It has a large bra and a round waist, and a black horizontal strip on the abdomen is particularly obvious, which makes it look more tough at first glance.

"Then it, Qiqi, drive them away and let's follow you." The fat man immediately gave the order.

This trick "bee leads the way" was still thought of by Qiqi. The text of Qiqixue contains the story of Lenin using bees to lead the way, so I learn it now and use it so that the world can avoid looking for beehives.

Several people trotted and followed Qiqi, wandering around for less than half an hour. Just as Old Wu was exhausted and panting, Qiqi stopped in front of a pile of big rocks.

There is a large protruding stone above the pile of stones, and there are many bees coming and going in and out below. It seems that this is indeed their nest.

When wild bees build nests, they usually go on trees or piles of stones. Near the bees, there are special bees standing guard near the beehive. Therefore, as soon as a few people approached the beehive, dozens of bees immediately flew over, humming and warning them.

The fat man quickly led everyone to hide behind Qiqi. There was no way. Don’t look at him as young as he was now their protective umbrella.

Speaking of animals like bees, they have stings on their tails, which sounds quite scary. In fact, they have always believed in the dogma of "If you don't offend me, I won't offend others". Generally speaking, they never take the initiative to hurt people. After all, if the stings are gone, their lives will come to an end.

However, the wild beezi has a stronger concept of territory and is more fierce, and the desire to attack is stronger.

Qiqi's protective umbrella really works. The bees that were standing guard immediately dispersed and stopped paying attention to Fatty and the others. The fat man then breathed a sigh of relief: "This bee is also good at finding places. This big stone is similar to a house building, so it is okay to shelter from wind and rain. However, it is estimated that at most three or four hundred kilograms. If the bear exerts force, it can be a big lifting."

The owner of the car was shocked: "Fatty, you can't do this. If you make the bee colony angry and chase us into hibernation, no one can stand it."

The fat man yelled twice: "I'm just talking."

Then, several people looked at Old Wu together and waited for him to make a decision to deal with the bee swarm. The owner of the car and Lao Yaozi had only one "fire attack", but the current occasion would definitely not be used.

Old Wu observed the nearby form and saw a big tree a few meters away. Then he nodded with satisfaction: "Fatty, give me the firewood."

"Can't burn it!" Qiqi quickly protested: "If I knew Grandpa Wu, you came to burn bees, I wouldn't have come."

When Old Wu saw Qiqi turning around and was about to leave, he was anxious: "It's not burning, but mainly because he wanted to smoke the queen bee first. As soon as the queen bee came out, all the bees came out."

"This is almost the same." Qiqi's face became happy again, and then he heard Lao Wu say: "You have to do this task Qiqi. If we were to do it, we would have to be stung by bees."

The fat man couldn't help but mutter: "What if Qiqi doesn't come? What if this bee can't catch it?"

Old Wu said with a smile: "If that is the case, it will be more risky. The person who ignites the fire must be fully armed. With Qiqi here, we will save trouble."

"It's so unkind. I asked our Qiqi to take the risk. If we produce honey in the future, we must take the majority!" The fat man was righteous, but in fact, it was just to get more honey.

"Okay, let's get the bee back first." Old Wu agreed very happily. He had no other intentions in keeping beekeepers, mainly because he had nothing to do.

So I handed over a small bundle of corn straws I brought to Qiqi, pulled out some green grass, and after the corn straw was lit, it covered it with thicker smoke.

The fat man handed the lighter to Qiqi: "Don't be too big, don't make a fire just by smoking, otherwise it will be troublesome to burn the bees to death."

Of course Qiqi knew this, so she came to the beehive entrance and prepared to light the fire. As soon as the fat man and others saw it, they quickly walked away, hid far away, and lay on the ground, so that the bees would not use evil fire to them after they left the nest.

Soon, blue smoke rose from the entrance of the beehive. Old Wu head hurriedly carried out remote control command: "Qiqi, take the straw hat and fan it in, try to choke the bees out quickly, otherwise if they are choked inside, they will be broken."

Qiqi was also a little worried: "What is the queen bee like? I see if it will come out?"

"It's bigger than an ordinary bee and has a very long belly, but you probably won't see it. Please wait a while to listen to my orders." Old Wu was really good, calm and unhurried. It seems that he has done this before and is more experienced.

The fat man dared not be careless and focused on the movements of the beehive. If Qiqi was in danger, he rushed forward to rescue him immediately. There was water in his wooden box, which should also block the bee's attack.

As the smoke grew thicker, the bees near the beehive were in a mess, buzzing and flying around in search of arsonists. However, they turned a blind eye to Qiqi, as if they believed that the fire was not released by her.

There are more and more bees coming out of the beehive mouth, and they are so dazzling that they can't see clearly which is just a queen bee.

Old Wu suddenly shouted: "Qiqi, put out the fire, the queen bee is coming out!"

When Qiqi heard this, she quickly pulled the corn stalk aside and then stepped on it to wipe it out. The fat man was also puzzled: "Mr. Wu, you have a good look. You can see the queen bee at such a distance?"

"Look at that tree, the bees have already started to cling to each other, and the queen bee must be there." Old Wu was not a clairvoyant person, of course he couldn't see clearly. He judged it based on experience.

By the way, bees are still in the "matriarchal society". The core of a group of bees is the queen. Although they are called queens, they should actually be called queens, because queens are all female bees. They have the most perfect development and can complete the task of inheriting the family line.

In addition, the worker bees that collect honey are also female bees, but they are not fully developed and cannot lay eggs, so they can only work. The hard-working bees we usually work hard are them.

Worker bees have the largest number, but their lifespan is also short, usually a few months. The main difference is that in terms of diet, ordinary worker bees eat honey, while queen bees eat royal jelly.

In addition, the drone bees have a number of dozens to hundreds. Their only task is to mating with queen bees, which is a bit like the "faced head" raised by queen bees. These guys are typical of eating but not working, never collecting honey, and are raised by worker bees.

So when the queen bee leaves the nest, the entire bee colony will follow it and tightly surround the queen. When Lao Wu saw the bees huddled together, he knew that the queen bee was coming out.

After a few minutes, the bees on the tree became bigger and bigger, hanging there, like a big gourd. Several people slowly walked to the front, and they all felt goosebumps on their bodies.

The bees on the bee cluster kept crawling, and the whole bee cluster was squirming. Anyone who saw this scene was shocked.

The fat man looked at the beehive and then at the big bee cluster on the tree: "Old Wu, how did you get these bees inside."

Old Wu head was wise and determined: "First plug the original beehive with stones, don't ask them to fly back, then open the beehive and put it there. I guess I can fly in in a while. There is royal jelly in there, which can attract queen bees. As long as queen bees enter, other bees will follow in."

Everyone did what he said, and after they were all arranged, they hid next to them and waited. After waiting for more than an hour, the bees on the tree became larger and larger, and bees that were going out to collect honey were rejoined, but they were not seen moving their nests.

"Old Wu, your move won't work." The fat man was a little anxious.

Old Wu also scratched his head: "These wild bees are relatively stubborn. It seems that I have to use my trick."

After saying that, he took the straw hat from Qiqi's hand, found some royal jelly from the beehive and applied it to the hood: "Qiqi, sit on my shoulders, let's go up the tree to collect bees. Fatty, please use it as a stand for us below."

The fat man looked at the bee clusters on the tree. They were more than two meters above the ground. Old Wu could not reach them at all, so he had to agree depressedly, "Who told him that he is in a good physique and is the most suitable for laying the foundation at the bottom."

"It's great to play with the stacked arhat." Qiqi was so happy now.

So everyone came to the tree, Qiqi rode to Lao Wu's neck first, and then the car owner and Lao Yaozi lifted Lao Wu's neck to the fat man's neck. The fat man slowly stood up with the tree, and Lao Wu's head surpassed the bee cluster.

The old head Wu was close to the bee, and the buzzing sounded like a little dizzy. However, with Qiqi here, the bee did not launch an attack. The old head Wu breathed a sigh of relief, stabilized his mind, and placed the straw hat on the bee ball.

"Fatty, light a cigarette and smoke it down there." Old Wu gave another order.

The fat man muttered, "Why do you ask me to do such a dangerous thing? After the honey comes out, I will also ask for more." As he said, he took out a cigarette and lit it. After taking a few sips, he placed the cigarette under the bee ball, and a wisp of blue smoke began to rise.

"You are all ready. Once the bee swarm explodes, I will carry you all together." The fat man muttered a few more words, and Qiqi clapped his hands on it: "Okay, it will definitely be fun to run so high."
