The next day, Liang Chuan met Zhaodi and asked him: "Brother Zhao, do you like honey?" Liang Chuan was stung by a bumblebee. Not only was he not afraid, but he also missed the delicious food. In an era when sugar was so precious, if you could

Producing honey is also a valuable thing.

Needless to say about honey in this era, even in later generations, a pound of local honey costs almost two hundred yuan, and it is not a matter of money. The key is that it has a price but no market. All the honey on the market is adulterated honey with water and sugar added. Real honey

Only acquaintances can get it.

The bumblebees here are so lethal that if they sting someone, they will die. Liang Chuan believes that if these strong bumblebees make honey, it will definitely be first-class honey. If he sells it to rich people, he will definitely make a lot of money.

One stroke.

Zhaodi's eyes lit up green when he heard about eating it, especially for something as good as honey. When he heard about it, his ears perked up, "Third brother, do you have honey?"

"No." Liang Chuan said seriously.

Zhaodi looked resentful, "It's not as enthusiastic as you said, it's just trying to whet my appetite again."

"Is our honey expensive?"

“Expensive and not available.”

"How about we raise some bees to make honey?"

"I don't know how. I used to steal honey from bumblebees, and I was stung by them a lot. Black Nose followed me and got a lot of bee stings. The taste was unpleasant. Third brother, doesn't your face hurt?

.”

Liang Chuan's mind was completely focused on the honey, and he couldn't care less about the pain. Besides, wealth and honor are sought in danger. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cub.

"Zhao Di, I promise to let you eat honey, but you can use some strength and we can cooperate together." Liang Chuan was like a wolf grandma, seducing Zhao Di.

Zhaodi looked at the weird Liang Chuan and asked, "Why do you want me to go there?" Zhaodi had an intuition that Liang Chuan wanted to sell him, but the honey was still very tempting, so he was a little shaken.

Liang Chuan collected the leftover materials for making the sand table and called Zhao Jinyu, asking him to hand over the wood to Zhao Jinyu and ask him to help plan it. The texture of the shank wood is light, strong and durable, and it is not easy to deform or produce damage.

Cracks and wood are everywhere, and this kind of wood is most suitable for making beehives.

This was also very fast. Zhao Jinyu thought he was going to do something big, so he planed a few boards. He called a young apprentice to help Liang Chuan do it.

This young apprentice was afraid that the box wall he made for Liang Chuan was not strong enough, so he deliberately staggered the joints on the two adjacent walls up and down when the side walls were connected to the front and rear walls. The two joints could not be connected at the same level in order to ensure that the box wall was not strong enough.

The box was so strong that a dovetail was made at the joint to secure it. In order to reassure Liang Chuan, the young apprentice even asked Liang Chuan to break it apart. It didn't move at all. It was indeed very strong.

"Boss, are you making a wooden box? Why do you leave so many holes? Reptiles can get in through these holes."

"These openings are for ventilation." Liang Chuan would not tell him that these were beehives for beekeeping. This was his way to make money. If there were more people who knew it, he would have no advantage. He was worried about Zhao Jinyu at first.

Once you have experience, you will learn your own skills. Now that you have a young apprentice, you can feel relieved.

At that time, in school, the group of beekeepers in the courtyard carried beehives to their professional vegetable garden every day to release bees. They collected nectar and we pollinated. Everyone was eager for them to come every day during the flowering period. After going back and forth, the two groups became familiar with each other.

We taught them the flowering period of cauliflower, and they discussed with us some things about these flying thorns. Everyone's learning improved each other through practice.

Liang Chuan also learned a lot about beekeeping during daily business exchanges. Although it is half a bucket of water, it is much better than a bucket with no water. He has tried beekeeping at home, but every time he returns home,

It was either winter or summer vacation, and I missed the best season for placing beehives. I never had the chance to try it. I never thought that this skill would come in handy in this world.

Liang Chuan ordered the young apprentice to drill a few ventilation holes on the beehive door, lid, and sides of the beehive. Don't underestimate these ventilation holes. These holes can adjust the temperature of the beehive. In the next few seasons, bees will be active.

, the large amount of fresh air needed comes in through these pores.

But in winter, these pores must be blocked, because if the cold air enters, the bees will die. If there are too many dead bees, the production of the beehives in the coming year will be affected. Fortunately, the temperature in Xinghua is not too low in winter.

If you pay attention, the impact is not big.

Three inclined ventilation holes need to be reserved above the beehive cover. These three ventilation holes are kept open to the outside world all year round. The existence of these three energy holes can facilitate the discharge of hot and humid gases in the beehive, and at the same time it also increases the number of bees.

A key presence in product yield.

The little apprentice became more and more confused as he worked. This box was cut like a hornet's nest and couldn't put anything in it. How could he know that this box was used to house bees?

Once the outer beehive is finished, it is the inner frame. There should be space between the frames of the beehive for the bees to pass and air to circulate. This gap is generally called the bee path, and the bee path does not need to be too large, because we

Native bees will be smaller...

The nest frame is simpler, it just consists of upper beam, lower beam and side strips. The honeycomb will be built by bees. If it is a man-made honeycomb, many bees will not use it, so they have to make it themselves.

, only when the bees are brewing will they feel comfortable.

As the saying goes, the apprentice is confused from beginning to end. He can't figure out what Liang Chuan created on a whim. He doesn't dare to say anything. His master Zhao Jinyu has told him that you can just do whatever the boss wants. Don't talk too much.

If you are annoyed, your boss will send you back to Luocheng.

The young apprentice worked very quickly and finished the beehive Liang Chuan asked for in half a day. This was also a simple carpentry job. Liang Chuan praised it a few times, but the young apprentice was embarrassed to be humble.

After making the beehive, Liang Chuan asked his brother Zhao to go to Fengshan to buy some tung oil and brush it on the surface so that the beehive would be more durable and not afraid of water. If there is any odor in the beehive, put it in the sun for a while.

, there won’t be any.

Brother Zhao saw that Liang Chuan had made a square wooden box and couldn't figure out what Liang Chuan wanted to do. "Third brother, what is this for?"

"You don't want to eat honey, honey comes from here." Liang Chuan chuckled, and the next incident was more troublesome.

"Recruit brother, go pick some mugwort and bring it back."

"Third brother, the Dragon Boat Festival is still early, what are you doing with this?"

"I found that you have a lot of questions today. Don't ask why, just go and go." Liang Chuan sent Zhao brother away and went to pick mugwort leaves. Then he got into the house and moved out all the winter clothes that Yi Niang had put away.

, took a wrapping cloth, wrapped it up, carried it on his back, and then went to the kitchen to get a fire stick.

After recruiting his brother back, Liang Chuan took two sets of clothes and headed up the mountain carrying the beehive.

"Brother Zhao, please bring Black Nose with you, we'll be looking for something later."

"What are you looking for?"

Liang Chuan glared at him. There were really a lot of problems today. Zhaodi now felt like he was falling out of favor. Heibi seemed to be getting closer to Li Chuyi. Now he was so busy every day that he didn't have much time to spend with Heibi.

Playing, Black Nose is all brought by Li Chuyi.

Hei Bi's life is now very comfortable. He no longer has to worry about having enough to eat every day, and he doesn't have to follow his useless master Zhaodi all over the mountain and be chased by wild farmers. Every day, Li Chuyi takes him wherever he goes.

After eating, I went home and sunbathed in the yard, and my dog's life was perfect.

When his brother asked him to go up the mountain, he reluctantly asked him to work hard again. Liang Chuan shook his head when he saw it. It is true that if one person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven.

Liang Chuan led Zhaodi and Heibi back to the place where they met the bumblebee yesterday. Liang Chuan took a set of clothes for Zhaodi to change into, and he also put on a thick winter coat, surrounded by wild flowers all over the mountain.

, Liang Chuan began to fiddle with the flowers, and after a long time, he finally found another bumble bee. However, this bumble bee was full of wine and food, and was not in the mood to hang out with Liang Chuan. It shook its wings and flew back with a buzz.

"Hurry up Heibi!" Liang Chuan pointed at the bumblebee and ordered Heibi to catch up.

Heibi ignored the recruiter, but he understood Liang Chuan's good intentions. He was very intelligent and made sense as soon as he said it, so he started chasing the bumblebee.

"Black-nosed, come back soon! That's a bumblebee. It hurts when it's stung!" Brother Zhao finally realized something was wrong. Liang Chuan took him to find a beehive. Only crazy people would look for a beehive. A bee sting is fine.

A swarm of bumblebee stings can kill someone.

"Hei Bi, don't listen to Zhao Di, chase!" Liang Chuan carried the beehive and followed Hei Bi, scurrying and jumping on the ground, chasing after the bumble bee. Hei Bi ignored Zhao Di, and Zhao Di had no choice but to hug him.

He followed mugwort.

Black Nose chased the bumblebee all the way to the foot of an old pine tree. Looking over from a distance, he saw a cluster of black bee nests hanging on the branches, as big as a man's head. The bumblebee buzzed back to the nest.

Liang Chuan took out the wrapping cloth and covered his face, and also wrapped it around his head, leaving only his eyes exposed. "Brother Zhao, light up the mugwort quickly."

Brother Zhao took the fire from Liang Chuan, pulled out a few dry grasses, and lit a fire. He put the mugwort on the fire and burned it, and a special aroma wafted out, drifting straight towards the honeycomb. The mugwort itself

The smell of mugwort has the effect of repelling mosquitoes. After it is burned with fire, the smell of smoke and the special smell of mugwort make it unbearable for a nest of bumblebees.

A swarm of wasps blew up the camp and all flew out. A group of black wasps, like mosquitoes on the head in summer, so scary. At this time, the wasps were buzzing and extremely aggressive.

Sex. But they couldn't stand the smell of mugwort. The fire burned stronger and stronger, and the smoke became thicker and thicker. The group of bumblebees could only hatefully fly elsewhere.

"Zhao Di, take advantage of the moment! Go up and tear down that honeycomb!" Where Zhao Di dared to go up, Liang Chuan kicked him, and Zhao Di climbed away reluctantly.

Not to mention, Zhaodi's hands and feet are as nimble as an ape. His movements on the tree are just like back home. He is so casual and nimble. He moves around and destroys the black honeycomb in a short time.

Opened it and took it out.

Liang Chuan quickly opened the new beehive below, and Zhaodi took the honeycomb, jumped down from the tree, and quickly put the honeycomb into the beehive. Liang Chuan decisively covered the beehive, picked up the big guy, and shouted to Zhaodi:

"Run quickly."
