Chapter 95 Failed to Capture the Black Bee

Ling Zikai looked at the tools Su Guoer was holding.

A conical cage made of thin rattan, more than 40 centimeters long and more than [-] centimeters in diameter, the bottom of the cage is open, the tip of the cone is closed, and it is tied to a wooden pole more than five meters long.

Su Guoer said that this is a bee cage, as long as the bee colony is driven into the cage, it can be used as a temporary hive, allowing the bee colony to stay inside and then take it home.

At the same time, I also brought a four-meter-long wooden pole with a broom tied to the top, and I don't know what it was used for.Ling Zikai didn't ask too much, anyway, he'll know when the time comes.

In addition, a bucket was prepared, filled with clear water mixed with honey.

There is also a hood made of gauze, gloves and other protective things to protect the body from bee stings.

In fact, these tools are superfluous to Ling Zikai, as long as he uses his consciousness to control the queen bee, all problems will be solved.

The reason why Ling Zikai still called Su Guoer to capture the black bee swarm naturally had deep-seated considerations.

Since beauty cream is planned as one of the pillar industries of the forest farm, it is necessary to establish a black honey base. It is impossible to keep the work of raising black bees by yourself all the time!And in the absence of the ancestral consciousness to control the queen bee, ordinary beekeepers simply cannot raise black bees artificially.

The problem Ling Zikai needs to solve is to enable ordinary beekeepers to master the daily methods of raising black bee colonies.

And Su Guoer is the first beekeeper he wants to train.

When I came to the woodland where the undergrowth ginseng was planted, those black bee swarms still stayed in the forest.

To Ling Zikai's surprise, those black bee swarms had already been divided into eleven teams and built their nests on eleven trees.Ten of these hives are arranged in a circular circle, guarding a larger hive in the center.

Ling Zikai released his consciousness, and found that in the outer hive, the leader of the bee colony was the queen bee hatched by himself with the energy of the ancestor gods, and his body had obviously grown a lot.The number of bees in the nest has also increased a lot.

Ling Zikai secretly estimated, and found that after a few days, the number of bee swarms had doubled compared to when he was brought out of Tiger Leaping Stream.

This reproduction speed is too fast!

Shocked, Ling Zikai turned his consciousness to the hive in the middle.Staying inside was the queen bee, whom Zhang Hao called the bee emperor. Although she kept her original body shape, her luster appeared brighter and she was more majestic.

Perhaps sensing Ling Zikai's consciousness, Empress Feng, who had been lying quietly on the royal platform, raised her head and looked around suspiciously.

Ling Zikai didn't disturb the Queen Bee, and quietly withdrew his consciousness from the hive.

At this time, Su Guoer had already fully armed himself, with a leather hat on his head, and a gauze scarf hanging from the brim of the hat, covering his entire head and even his exposed neck tightly. .

He also wears leather gloves on his hands.Not a single bit of skin was exposed all over the body.

Those hives were built on branches four or five meters above the ground, but fortunately there were two wooden poles.

Su Guoer first sprinkled some honey water in the beehive, and then placed the beehive on top of the bee cluster, with the mouth of the cage facing the bee cluster.

Afterwards, Su Guoer dipped the broom in water and sprayed water on the bee colony to calm the bee colony.Use a broom to gently drive away the bee colony.

After being disturbed, the black bees began to leave the bee cluster and fly upwards, just entering the beehive, and clustered together.

Gradually, nearly two-thirds of the bee colony entered the beehive, and the queen bee appeared in the remaining bee colony.

Su Guoer knew that at the most critical moment, as long as the queen bee entered the hive, it would be considered a success.So more carefully use the broom to gently sweep the queen bee's body.

The harassed queen moved slightly at first, not wanting to leave.But under Su Guoer's constant harassment, he seemed a little irritable, and left the bee colony by vibrating the bee wings.

Just when Su Guoer was expecting the queen bee to fly into the beehive, he saw that the queen bee circled around the mouth of the beehive, then suddenly left the beehive with fluttering wings and flew down towards Su Guoer. fly.

Su Guoer hurriedly swept the queen bee with a broom.But the queen bee seemed to be spiritual, and seemed to recognize that Su Guoer was the culprit who stabbed her own beehive, and her flying body avoided the broom's obstruction, all the way down.

At the same time, when the queen bee suddenly left, the black bees suddenly became confused and began to fly around.After finding the position of the queen bee, they moved closer to it.

Seeing the queen bee leading the swarm towards him, Su Guoer was stunned for a moment, and then he let out a cry of surprise, threw away the wooden pole in his hand, turned around and ran, and at the same time called to Ling Zikai: "Brother Kai, hurry up!" leave here!"

Ling Zikai didn't expect that the swarm would suddenly attack Su Guoer, and seeing him start to flee, he followed him leisurely.

However, an even more surprising thing happened.

When the bee swarm here launched an attack, the queen bees in the rest of the hive seemed to have received the signal, and flew out of the nest one after another, leading the bee swarm to chase in the direction where Su Guoer was escaping.

For a moment, there was a loud buzzing in the forest, and black bees were flying everywhere, with a huge momentum.

Ling Zikai saw it and was very surprised.Could it be that these queen bees have all received a unified order?
Seeing that the black bee swarm was about to catch up with Su Guoer, if he was really surrounded by them, Su Guoer would definitely suffer.

Ling Zikai quickly released his consciousness and began to lock on to the ten queen bees in the swarm.

However, with Ling Zikai's current ability, he can only control one queen bee. Although the rest of the queen bees are also shrouded in the scope of consciousness, they cannot command them.

This is going to be bad!

Feeling a little tricky, Ling Zikai suddenly remembered the queen bee entrenched in the center, quickly let go of the control of the queen bee, and turned his attention to the hive in the center.

At this moment, he saw that the huge queen bee had also flown out of the hive, but it did not lead the swarm to attack, but hovered above the hive.It's like a commander in command of thousands of troops is paying attention to the development of the entire battle situation.

Ling Zikai didn't care if the queen bee directed the attack, after using his consciousness to control it, he directly issued the order to recall the queen bee.

I don't know how the queen bee gave the order, but the ten chasing queen bees stopped in unison, and then turned around and flew back.

After some confusion, the rest of the bee colony followed the queen bee one after another.

In a blink of an eye, all the bee colonies returned to their respective nests, leaving only a few scattered black bees flying in the woods.

Su Guoer, who was still in shock, stared blankly at the beehives in the forest, and said, "My mother! I was scared to death! Brother Kai, these black bees must have received military training!"

Ling Zikai withdrew his control over the Queen Bee, feeling a little weird for a moment.

It's difficult now, who else can serve these black bee swarms except myself!
At this moment, I saw Lin Xing'an and Zhang Nan walking from the other side of the forest.Seeing Ling Zikai and Su Guoer staying outside the forest, they came up to say hello.

"Sugol, why are you so pale, what happened?"

Zhang Nan asked curiously.

Su Guoer recounted what happened just now.

Li Yan said: "I said that black bees cannot be raised artificially, you should believe it now!"

Lin Xing'an looked at the eleven hives and said, "It seems that these black bees want to settle down here. In fact, if they don't leave, they will live in this forest forever, no different from artificial breeding. Moreover, the nutritional value of honey harvested in this untouched environment is higher than that of artificially raised honey."

Ling Zikai felt enlightened when he heard the words, and secretly said: "Yes, as long as there is honey to be produced, why do we have to raise it artificially? I just need to use the energy of the ancestor gods to hatch some queen bees to expand the number of bee colonies, and then wait for the honey bee to be harvested." When the time comes, it is not enough to lure the bee colony away and let people harvest the honey. This is the same as planting ginseng. Although garden ginseng is easy to grow and the yield is high, how can the price be comparable to that of understory ginseng? Compared!"

At this moment, Ling Zikai seemed to touch the core idea of ​​the forest farm development.
