Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 174 The Bee Keeper Comes to the Tunli (Part [-])
There was no further delay on the road, when the two returned to the cellar, Wang Dalong led a group of people down from the ridge, ready to go home after work.

The Immortal Column where Lu Lu first lived in has now become a utility room.

There are quite a few frames with stretched fur inside to dry in the shade. Although most of them are greyhound skins, the accumulation of yellow skins and mountain raccoon skins can be sold for several hundred yuan.

Every time they enter the Immortal Column to place tools and see these things, a group of old men are amazed.

A group of people can't win alone.

But envy is envy, everyone knows that he is not the material for this bowl of rice, and he should do what he should do.

After saying hello to Lu Lu, Wang Dalong and his group went to the forest outside the cellar, Chen Xiuqing also jumped up and followed, even Lu Lu refused to keep him for dinner.

Lu Lu saw through his thoughts at a glance, clearly to seize the opportunity to get acquainted with Wang Dalong first.

He couldn't help smiling, and muttered: "This kid... wants to talk about his daughter-in-law, so he is going to take down the old man first!"

After several people left, Lu Lu went to the meadow, took Zhuifeng back and tied him to the linden tree next to the cellar, and put some bean cakes in the manger to feed.

It's been a long time since Zhuifeng bought it back. During this time, Lu Lu didn't let him do anything. He fed and drank enough every day. Fortunately, he was waiting for him. Zhuifeng has changed a lot.

The originally skinny body began to gradually become plump, and the dry black fur also began to shine.

With enough energy, Zhuifeng became more and more irritable, always running and jubilant in the place where he was tethered to eat grass from time to time. A good piece of grass was tossed and covered with black mud.But it is also this kind of venting exercise that makes its muscles full and firm.

The whole horse looked more majestic and mighty, and became more and more beautiful.

Lu Lu looked at its long hoof shells, and thought about finding someone in the village who can shoe the horseshoes in the past few days to give it a good pair of horseshoes.

Before that, it had to be tamed, otherwise, no one would dare to get close to it, because changing the horse's shoe and kicking someone would be bad.

Running all day, walking back and forth for more than a hundred miles is not a small amount of consumption. Lu Lu himself felt that his legs were sore and numb, as if he had collapsed.

Climb the mountains and eat food for the body.

Without a good body, you can't stand the toss.

While he was resting on the wooden pier in front of the cellar, Chen Xiuqing ran back.

"Brother Lu, a car came into the village just now."

Chen Xiuqing said while jumping over the small river: "There are a lot of boxes in the car."

"What are you doing?" Lu Lu asked casually.

"I saw bees flying around those boxes. I heard from Uncle Wang that they came to release bees in the village." Chen Xiuqing asked a little strangely: "Can you still release bees?"

"Why can't it be, isn't it normal to lead a swarm of bees chasing flowers and chasing honey?"

When Lu Lu said this, he looked at the surrounding mountains and forests. He went to the lime tree where the horse was tied and looked, and found that there were already tiny flower buds on the branches.

The lime tree is about to bloom.

The reason why he took back the black bees he encountered and prepared more than 20 bee buckets was because he took a fancy to the surrounding flowers and plants, especially the linden trees. There are many around Caodianzi and Xiushantun linden tree.

The linden tree is in flowering period from mid-June to mid-July every year, and the bees are released during this period, obviously for the nectar of the linden tree.

This is good honey, with a fragrant and mellow smell. After crystallization, it is as delicate as white oil. In these days, it is a good thing for foreign trade and foreign exchange. The income from bee keeping is more profitable than doing odd jobs on farms and forest farms.

Don't look at finding a place with a good honey source and settling down. Once the beehives are put up and the tents are set up, you can live a life by guarding the bee colony. It seems leisurely, but it is not as easy as imagined.This is still a technical job, and it is not easy for those who do not fully understand bees.

Especially chasing the flowering season in various places, running long distances, and sleeping outside all the year round, it is even more difficult.

"I've never seen or heard of it before. It's the first time anyone has come to Xiushantun. Uncle Wang often works outside and traveled a lot. He said he saw it a few times."

Chen Xiuqing opened his mouth and shut his mouth like Uncle Wang, but this kid has a sweet mouth.

It would be nice to have a bee keeper. I have a rest tomorrow, and Lu Lu is going to take a look.

His bee barrels have been set up and have been idle, but you can go to them and ask if you can buy a few groups to fill them up. Given the rarity of black bees in this mountain, I want to fill these bees only by dividing bees. Barrel, it is estimated that some difficulties.

He also stayed in the mountains for two months, only two groups of black bees were encountered by him beating Xiong, and Chen Xiuqing informed the other groups.

The black bees not only have to face the bad weather, but also have to carry the cruel environment, how hard it is to survive.

The stronger the bee colony, the easier it is to keep it. He can use the method of dividing bees to quickly place all these bee buckets in the bee colony, but in this way, the bee colony will be too weak.

Beekeeping should not be greedy.

Don’t be greedy for bee colonies. Don’t always think that the more bee colonies you separate, the more powerful they will be. If the colony is too weak, the temperature and humidity of the colony itself will be difficult to stabilize, and the ability to resist diseases and pests will be greatly weakened. Moreover, even if the colony is vigorous However, whether the surrounding flower and grass resources can be supplied is a matter to be considered.

Avoid greedy honey.Every time honey is taken, the honey in the honeycomb is completely removed. What do bees eat?That is a mouth that needs to eat at every turn.

Lu Lu didn't plan to raise too many, only thirty or forty groups around Caodianzi would be enough.

"Stay for dinner?"

Lu Lu looked at the time, he had to cook quickly, he greeted casually.

"Row!"

This time, Chen Xiuqing seemed very happy, and immediately agreed.

Lu Lu glanced at him, this kid, he refused to stay before... The reason for his relationship is to follow Wang Dalong outside.

"Brother Lu, can you come down?" Chen Xiuqing followed and asked with a smile.

"All right... I'll eat it for you!"

Lu Lu can still be satisfied with such a small matter.

By the time the two filled their stomachs, it was already dark and the moonlight was still shining. Chen Xiuqing didn't even use the lantern, and was busy walking towards Xiushantun.

He was carrying a shotgun, so Lu Lu wasn't worried that something would happen to him.

After feeding Yuan Baoniang four enough bear meat, Lu Lu also went to bed early.

Early the next morning, he got up slowly. It took a while for Wang Dalong and others to go to work before he got up.

After simply washing up and cooking two side dishes for breakfast, Lu Lu led the four of Yuan Baoniang to Xiushantun leisurely.

First, he stopped by to see the corn planted in the field, which had sprouted out of the ground. Then, he checked the water in the seedling field. After checking that there was nothing wrong, he turned back to Tunzhong Road.

After walking for a while, a person from Tunli hurriedly came to meet him, and shouted away from a distance: "Brother, I just happened to be looking for you!"

Lu Lu glanced at the person who came over: "Brother Meng, what's the matter?"

This man was a militiaman from the village, named Meng Kuisong, and he didn't have many contacts before, but when he went to the mountains to rescue Wang Dalong's daughter-in-law Zhao Meiling, a group of people ate and drank in front of the cellar at night, and they got to know each other well.

The few people Zhang Shaofeng took with him were all he valued, and they were good people.

When I met Lu Lu on weekdays, they were also called brothers, and Meng Kuisong also helped for a long time when planting rice seedlings.

It also feels good to Lu Lu.

"The director asked me to come to you... There are people from the district, and they are presiding over the village head election. Let me ask you to vote too." Meng Kuisong said with a smile.

Lu Lu laughed: "It doesn't matter if I have me or not."

"That's a success!" Meng Kuisong suddenly lowered his voice and said, "The director submitted you as a candidate. If you are not a candidate, what should I do?"

"What?"

Lu Lu thought he had heard wrong.
