Farm Fairy Dog

"Really? Could it be that a wasp came over to make trouble? Sigh, the star sand is always smoggy recently, which is very deadly to insects like bees. In the past, a box of bees filled six or seven pages, but now the speed of queen bee laying eggs has dropped. There are only three or four pages left in a hive of bees, and if this continues, all the hives will collapse.” Professor Li turned around and asked a student to take a look.

The number of bees in a beehive is generally not easy to count. Beekeepers are used to counting the number of pages of the hive in the beehive.The hive of the bees is built on a rectangular wooden frame made by the beekeeper, and finally the hive will fill the wooden frame to form a page.The beekeeper will decide how many boxes to add according to the condition of the hive.The more hives there are, the more bees there will be in the natural beehive.

The three or four pages mentioned by Professor Li are actually very few. The fewer the pages, it means that the number of worker bees is also decreasing. The most important thing is that the reproductive ability of the queen bee has seriously declined.Either the queen bee is aging, or the queen bee has been injured.In this case, it is natural that the queen bee is affected by environmental pollution, and her reproductive ability has dropped significantly.

After a while, Yang Fachao ran back.

"Ms. Li, it's not good. The queen bee is going to escape with the bees."

"Go over and have a look." Professor Li said.

Laiwang, Zeng Fangming and Kang Can also followed.

As soon as I got upstairs, I heard the buzzing of bees.

From the sound of the bees, Laiwang could hear that the swarm of bees seemed to be on guard for something.When bees move, they are wary of everything around them.After all, at this time, the queen bee came out.All the bees will circle around the queen bee, lest the queen bee will be hurt. [

"Ms. Li, are the bees separating?" Yang Fachao asked.

Professor Li shook his head, "No, we haven't cultivated a new queen bee for this box of honey, so how could we divide it into boxes?"

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and one beehive cannot accommodate two queen bees.Once there are two queen bees, the honey in the hive will be divided into two parts.The old queen bee will leave the hive with half of the honey.At this time, the bee colony that left the nest huddled together and followed the old queen bee around to find a new nest.But the situation at hand is obviously not the case.

"It should be an environmental problem. The bees feel that this old nest is no longer suitable for them to survive, so they leave their nests and prepare to find a more suitable place." Professor Li said.

The queen bee generally never leaves the nest, unless the nest is captured by deadly enemies of bees such as wasps, or there are bugs growing in the hive.For example, due to poor management of beehives, bugs grew, which finally threatened the survival of bees.They only move when their survival is threatened.Apparently the serious impact of smog has begun to slowly threaten the survival of bees.

"I have been raising bees here for more than 30 years. I have never encountered such a situation. Now the surroundings of the school have become buildings, and the air is getting worse and worse. It is really not suitable for us to raise bees here. The few I raised The box bees are all Chinese bees native to Jiangnan. Although our Chinese bees are relatively small, they have one advantage, which is very similar to the people in Jiangnan, that is, they are hard-working and never picky eaters. These bees will collect nectar no matter what , never picky. They are extremely friendly to plants. In addition, they are very hardworking. They will not let go of any corner of the surrounding area as long as there is nectar. They are very cute. Keeping bees has always been a lucrative business. Neither feed food, It doesn’t take up too much space. As long as it is well managed, it is rare to get sick.” Professor Li is still very affectionate to the bees he has been raising for more than 30 years. No matter what, he always maintains a few boxes of honey here.Despite the infestation of various foreign honeybees, Professor Li still kept several boxes of Chinese honeybees.

"Actually, the Agricultural University is no longer suitable for raising bees. Now the surrounding area has become a city, and the bees have to run several kilometers away to collect nectar. It is completely beyond the range of bees. Fortunately, the greening of our Agricultural University is good. These flowers and plants are barely enough. These few boxes of bees are maintained. But now the air quality is gradually getting worse, and the bees cannot be kept.” Yang Fachao said.

"Yeah. Xiaochao is right. This place has long been unsuitable for bee breeding. It's just that I have been reluctant to keep these boxes of bees. Fang Ming came over a few days ago and said that someone wants to raise bees. The fine species I breed here There are quite a few bees. But I still think that the most suitable bees in Jiangnan are the Chinese bees. If you want, you can take these boxes of Chinese bees away. Anyway, my place is not suitable for bees. I can give it to you. This honey is not worth anything, so I will give it to you directly. But you have to promise me that you have to keep these boxes of bees well. Don't throw them away. "Professor Li said.

"Professor Li can rest assured. We mountain people cherish livestock the most. Besides, we have a lot of nectar all year round. The bees collect honey for me every day. How can I be willing to discard them?" Laiwang said.

"That's good. In fact, it's not easy to find such a purebred Chinese bee now. If you are willing to raise, you can take these boxes of bees. Wait a minute, I will send you some books on bee breeding. These bees They have produced honey for me for decades. I also have to find a good place for them." Professor Li laughed.

"Professor Li, if you are reluctant, you can visit our place often. Although our place is not well-known, the scenery is not much worse than those scenic spots. When you are free, you can go to our place for vacation." Wang said.

"Yes, Teacher Li, I have been to their place. The scenery is indeed very good. It is a pity that it has not been developed." Zeng Fangming said.

"It may be a good thing if it is not developed. If it is developed, it will be ruined." Professor Li said.

Laiwang nodded, "This year our road is about to be completed, and it will only take a few hours to our mountain village in the future. Professor Li, if you are free in the future, you can go to my farm for vacation. The place is relatively Simple, but the air is much better than here.”

"Okay. At that time, don't dislike me, an old man, and trouble you." Professor Li smiled. [

But how to take away the beehive has become a problem.Laiwang drives an off-road vehicle, but a beehive can fit in it.But there are a total of eight boxes of bees here.

"I knew it would be better to drive a small four-wheeler." Laiwang said.

"It's useless for you to drive a small four-wheeler. Transport vehicles can't enter the urban area." Kang Can said.

"No. Isn't the car from our Fuwang Farm able to enter the urban area?" Laiwang said.

"By the way, I'll contact the masters who pull vegetables in Fuwang Farm and ask them to come to the Agricultural University at night and drag these beehives back." Laiwang said that Fuwang Farm immediately thought of a way.

However, there is a problem in front of him, that is, the escaped bees from the box.

"Where did the bee swarm fly just now?" Professor Li asked.

"Over there." Yang Fachao said, pointing to the east.

That direction is the direction close to the river, where bees usually collect pollen.

"Bring a burlap bag, wait a minute, when the bees stop, we will sweep them all into the bag," Professor Li said.

Yang Fachao was very agile, and quickly went back to find a sack.This bag is opaque, but the air permeability is quite good.It is very suitable for catching bees in the future.

But bees can fly, so they are naturally much faster than running on the ground with these two legs, and the bees disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Bee nests can't fly very far. Please pay attention to the surrounding trees and corners. As long as you see scattered bees flying, you can find traces of bee colonies." Professor Li is very familiar with the habits of insects , and has studied the behavior of bees for decades, and knows the behavior of bees well.

"Let's search separately. When you find it, just say hello." Laiwang said.

"Xiao Zhao, you are not familiar with this place, you should come with me." Zeng Fangming said.

"It's okay. How could a man of my age get lost in the Agricultural University?" Laiwang laughed.This university campus is really big, it is as big as several Zhaojiatuns.You must know that Zhaojiatun is a mountain village, and the houses are relatively sparse.

"Then don't run too far. If you can't find your way, just call me and I'll come find you." Zeng Fangming said.

"He's not a child, he can't take care of himself?" Kang Can said.

Laiwang smiled, he was too lazy to bother with a little girl like Kang Can.

Although Laiwang has never raised bees, he still knows a lot about some of the habits of bees.Although bees have never been raised, how many children in the countryside have never picked a hornet's nest?Although bees are not the same as wasps, their habits should be very similar.

Laiwang followed the direction with more trees, but he never saw any bees.

Laiwang suddenly remembered that when caramel was made in the countryside, some wild bees would be attracted if the tools used to make caramel were placed outside.Although Laiwang has no sugar in his hand, there are many flowers in the space.The fragrance of flowers in the space is much more fragrant than ordinary flowers.

Laiwang went to a corner of a person and brought out a bouquet of orchids from the space. Laiwang put the orchids into his nose and smelled them. The fragrance was strong and he could smell a hint of sweetness from the fragrance of the flowers.The effect did not seem to be as good as Laiwang imagined.Laiwang walked past a teaching building, but still saw no bees.

Walking past the teaching building, I saw an open space. There was a football field not far away. The greenery around the football field was good, with dense camphor trees and metasequoia arranged on both sides of the road in an orderly manner.

Laiwang is holding a beautiful bouquet of orchids, which is quite eye-catching, and Laiwang looks no different from a college student.Others thought that Laiwang was holding flowers to give to his girlfriend.

"Hey, what do you think is that?" A student stopped by the side of the road and pointed to the sky and said loudly.

Everyone looked up and saw a large swarm of bees buzzing and swooping down on the treetops.

Laiwang heard the shout and looked back.

"My dear mother!" Laiwang screamed, and ran away.

But the bee rushed towards Laiwang like a gust of wind.
