Honey is the first sweetener discovered by humans in history, and its application can be traced back to the origin of mankind.
The industrious little bees have been beaten by humans since the Stone Age. This situation has continued until today in the 21st century. Unless there is an accident, it will continue until one of the two, humans and bees, is completely extinct.
For millions of years, honey, a sweet and delicious ingredient, has been loved by people of almost all ethnic groups around the world. The so-called love for everyone is nothing more than this.
Honey has extremely high nutritional value and is an excellent nourishing food, with hundreds of benefits and no harm.
If you drink less drinks every day and drink a glass of honey water instead, your risk of contracting various diseases will plummet.
However, it is said that 80% of the honey on the market is artificial and fake honey. Although eating fake honey is not harmful to the human body, its nutritional value will be greatly reduced.
Regardless of whether this view is correct or not, it is a very simple thing to make fake honey from white sugar. This is an indisputable fact.
For Huo Yu, there will definitely be no worries in this regard.
What he is about to steal from the hive is genuine honey, as fresh as possible.
Bah, bah, bah... How can you say that the icekeeper's thing is stealing?
Thinking of this, Huo Yu looked at the hive with even more eager eyes.
If the Arctic climate was not suitable for beekeeping, he would have wanted to pack up the entire hive and the bees so that he could drink fresh honey every day.
"What do you mean?" Bai Xiaomo looked at the hive in front of him with a stern look, "What do you do with it?"
Honey is a stored emergency food for little bees. When they cannot go out to collect nectar, honey is their food source.
Steal...ahem...take away the honey from the little bees, and the little bees will be better able to collect honey and make honey. They will not starve to death, but will become hard-working little bees.
Whether you believe it or not, Huo Yu believes it anyway...
"Let's go, let's do it." Huo Yu's eyes shone, and Lao Liu's bloodline was fully revived.
Many people have experienced the incident of poking a hornet's nest in their childhood, but stealing honey and poking a hornet's nest are two completely different things.
The essence of poking a hornet's nest is destruction, satisfying the inner evil taste of young and careless people.
The essence of stealing honey is profit, to satisfy the appetite and the instinct of eating.
So to poke a hornet's nest, you only need to disperse it, but to steal honey, you need to have a plan.
The first thing is to take defensive measures, and then find a way to lure away some of the bees protecting the nest. The most important thing is not to take away all the honey, but to leave a small part.
One is to leave part of the ration for the bees so that they will not starve to death.
Second, taking away all the honey is likely to drive the bees into madness, but leaving some of it alone will not make them desperately chase.
"You go and lure these bees away. I'll go get the honey from the honeycomb, get rid of the bees and gather here." Huo Yu looked at Bai Xiaomo and said.
Bai Xiaomo's face fell and he immediately retorted: "Why don't you lure the bees away? You can run much faster than me. You are not afraid of insects, are you?"
Huo Yu scratched his head in embarrassment.
It's not that he doesn't know how to be compassionate, the main reason is that bees are also a kind of insect. Although they are not as scary as cockroaches, they are also somewhat averse to hawks.
Huo Yu's insect phobia has a long history. He has no fear of insects such as mosquitoes, beetles, cicada pupae, butterflies, and dragonflies.
But insects like cockroaches, caterpillars, bees, and ladybugs, which have a peculiar smell or look unpleasant, are more or less unacceptable.
At this moment, Bai Xiaomo exposed him, and his damn competitiveness and strange dignity as a man suddenly came back.
"Who is afraid of bugs? I am not afraid of heaven or earth, but I am afraid that the teacher will find my dad!"
After saying that, Huo Yu poked the little fish in his arms and said: "I raise a baby for a thousand days, and after using it for a while, I will decide it is you, and you will be able to lure away those bees later."
Xiaoyu:???
Am I your biological son?
Um...it doesn't seem to be the case.
Whether the wolf cub wants it or not, it is up to him to lure away the bees.
According to the food chain of Huoyu ≥ Bai Xiaomo > Xiaoyu > Tianwang Laozi, the little fish really has no ability to resist.
The little fish came to the hive cautiously. Huo Yu and Bai Xiaomo followed closely behind it and went around to the back of the hive.
There are small fluffy yellow bees constantly coming in and out of the hive.
This bee has a stout body, its whole body is densely covered with long and neat black and yellow hairs, and its body length is about 1.5 to 2.5 centimeters.
Huo Yu observed it for a while and immediately recognized this bee as the famous bumble bee.
Bumblebee is a very common bee. There are more than 500 known species of bumblebee in the world. It is an important pollinator of leguminous and solanaceous plants.
The reason why you can recognize these little guys at a glance is because bumblebees have very distinctive looks and are considered the cutest bees.
Compared with the slender appearance of other bees, bumblebees appear a bit fat.
The whole body is covered with thick down, round and plump, and the butt is twisted and twisted. From a distance, it looks like a cute plush ball. People can't help but want to touch a hairy butt.
Many short video platforms in China have videos of bumble bees collecting honey, which instantly make girls’ hearts burst into laughter, which also makes them successfully become Internet celebrity bees.
Although it looks cute, it can sting people when it's angry.
Bumblebees are more docile insects than ordinary bees. They only sting when the hive is disturbed and is defending itself.
The most terrible thing is that bumblebees are different from ordinary bees in that their stingers have no barbs, so their stingers will not fall off after stinging people, and they can sting several times in a row.
The little fish comes to a distance of two meters from the hive and quickly grows in size to embolden it.
Huo Yu, who was hiding behind the tree trunk, winked at it and signaled it to take action quickly.
The little fish reluctantly took two steps forward and looked at the hive in front of him with a fierce expression:
"Ouch~(Those bees, pay attention~)"
"Buzz buzz-"
The bumblebees were still busy with their own business, and no one paid any attention to the silly Arctic wolf that suddenly appeared.
Xiaoyu's heart was filled with confusion, and he immediately said provocatively:
"he...tui!"
Under the surprised looks of Huo Yu and Bai Xiaomo, a mouthful of wolf saliva flew into the air and landed on the hive accurately.
After spitting, the little fish turned around and ran away regardless of the result. In a short while, he jumped over a hundred meters. At this speed, even Bolt would have said it was impossible...
"Buzz buzz-"
However, unexpectedly, the docile Xiong Feng was not angry at all because of this mouthful of wolf saliva.
There were tens of thousands of bees in the whole hive, but none of them chased them out. Instead, those hard-working worker bees began to repair the part of the hive that was wet with wolf saliva.
Huo Yu, who was peeping in secret, covered his face helplessly.
Little Wolf Cub is unreliable, he still has to take action on his own at the critical moment.
"I'm going to get the smoked hive. You should watch the right moment and grab the honey." Huo Yu told Bai Xiaomo and trotted towards the hive with his back bent.
While running, he took out a black rod-shaped object from his space backpack.
This is a special military smoke stick with a bright flame at one end, which can be used for both illumination and seeking assistance.
The other end is colored smoke, which is used to mark its position and target. Even aircraft at high altitude can clearly see the smoke.
Huo Yu pulled out the latch with his hands, and a wisp of red smoke floated out from the top of the smoke stick.
In just a few seconds, more and more smoke escaped, and it soon developed into a gush.
Seeing the right opportunity, Huo Yu threw the smoke stick directly under the big tree where the hive was located, then turned around and ran away like the little fish.
This time, the good-tempered bumblebee was finally irritated.
It's okay to spit in someone's house, but this time I'm going to give you a second-hand smoke gift package, which will make anyone angry.
Don’t you know how harmful second-hand smoke is if you are unethical?!
"Buzz buzz-"
Tens of thousands of bumblebees came out of the nest and soon turned into a black cloud and chased Huoyu.
Huo Yu glanced back and felt his scalp numb, so he speeded up his pace conscientiously.
When the bumblebees had almost flown out, Bai Xiaomo, who had been hiding behind the big tree, took the opportunity and quickly rushed to the front of the hive.
Without even looking at the hive, she put her hand in, explored it a little, grabbed a handful of honey, and ran away.
The movements were completed in one go and the process was very smooth.
It just felt like his fingers touched something furry, but the situation was urgent, so Bai Xiaomo didn't pay much attention.
"Buzz buzz-"
What she never expected was that as soon as she took a few steps out, the group of bumblebees that were chasing Huoyu suddenly changed direction and then started running after her in overwhelming numbers.
Bai Xiaomo:???
Huo Yu felt that something was wrong, so he looked back and almost stumbled to the ground.
I saw a huge black bee lying on a large piece of honey that Bai Xiaomo was holding in his hand.
"My little ancestor!" Huo Yu said on the verge of tears, "I asked you to steal honey, but how did you steal the queen bee?"
