Manor Romance

Chapter 105 Shen Hong Returns
"So that's how it is. This time I really learned a lot. If the queen bee dies or is separated from the bee colony, what will happen to the bee colony?" Yun Li nodded and continued to ask.

"It's hard to say. Generally speaking, without a queen bee colony, the bees will not gather honey. They will either scatter or linger around the hive until their lives are over. But there is also a situation. Some ferocious bee colonies will be eliminated through duels, and a new queen bee will be re-elected, and the remaining royal jelly in the hive will be used to help the new queen bee complete sexual maturity, so that it has the ability to reproduce, and it can also unite the bee colony again." Huang Damin explained.

"Then the hive of bees in front of us can be regarded as the fierce type?" Gu Yixin also asked curiously.

Huang Damin replied: "This group is ordinary bumble bees, which are often called Chinese bees. There are many types of bees, and their habits are very different. No one can say for sure, but try not to smoke the queen bee to death or drive them away."

During the conversation, the bees in the hive were basically forced out by the smoke, and several black bee swarms formed around the old tree. Fortunately, they were far away and did enough cover to prevent them from being discovered, otherwise they would be discovered by the angry bee swarm ,The consequences could be disastrous.

Yunli tried to use electromagnetic force to sense, to see if he could find out the queen bee, but there were too many bees and the distance was too far, so he couldn't detect them at all, so he gave up after trying.

This time they were lucky. It didn't take long for the bee colony to surround one of the beehives, flying and circling non-stop, and some bees entered the beehive and sucked the beeswax inside.More and more bees gathered in the beehive, came in and out of the long ventilated slits, and returned to normal working conditions. This wild bee colony was successfully subdued.

While the bee colony was busy moving to a new house, everyone went to the old tree to get the honey. The hive of this group of wild bees was not small, but since it was not the flowering period, the amount of honey stored in the hive was not much. All honeycombs with honey storage are cut off with a knife and placed in the bamboo baskets brought in. They need to be taken back and processed to become delicious pure wild honey.

There are about [-] bees in this group, but only about [-] to [-]% of them enter the beehives, but they can basically meet the pollination needs of [-] strawberries in the park, and after they take them back, they can also be cultivated by artificial means. More bees to come.

The swarms that have settled down generally do not attack people. Huang Damin led the crowd to check, and when he lifted the thick canvas on the top, he could see the swarms of bees surging inside. Yun Li searched carefully for a while, and then Found the queen bee mixed in the colony.The size of the queen bee is larger than that of ordinary worker bees, and there are more textures on the abdomen, but there is not much difference in other aspects.

After the queen bee has settled down, she will automatically move to the place specially spaced out for her in the hive, where she will reproduce more bees.Huang Damin and Huang Daguo took out the white gauze they had brought, wrapped the entire beehive, and then picked up the beehive with a pole, and everyone set off to return to the manor.

Originally, I thought that I would be able to find the bee colony smoothly by looking for it in a fixed place. I didn’t expect that the plan could not keep up with the changes. It took a long time to successfully capture this box of wild bees. Huang Daguo was a little unwilling, but the task was successfully completed. , don't care about so much anymore.

After returning to the manor, Huang Daguo placed the beehives near the virgin fruit field. There is enough nectar for the bees to use, and they will be able to stay here. There is enough food, and more bees can be cultivated, etc. When strawberry plants bloom, they can be moved to the park to collect honey and pollinate. Huang Damin and Huang Daguo will help follow up on this work, so Yunli doesn't have to worry about it.

Gu Yixin was most concerned about the honey. After placing the beehives, Huang Daguo took him to the kitchen of the office building, put the beehives in a pot and boiled them over a warm fire, melting the raw honey into a thick honey slurry. Then use multiple layers of fine mesh to screen out the impurities inside, and the authentic wild honey is ready.

We only found a beehive this time, and the amount of honey harvested is naturally not much. Everyone gave up all the honey to Gu Yixin, but he could only fill his bottle to about two-thirds, but he was already very happy, and Huang Daguo also made an agreement with him that after a period of time when the flowering period came, they would go to the mountain to look for it again, ensuring that they could find more honey for him, and the quality of honey at that time was better than now.

In the evening, Gu Ling found Yunli and Gu Yixin, and said that she was going back to the city, and there was something she needed to deal with at the studio. Yunli didn't do much to keep her, and asked Huang Li to take her to the county for a ride. , and Gu Yixin also handed over the freshly made honey to her, and took it back to their grandma along the way.

The breeding network on Xiaolu Mountain has been completed. It is mainly due to the fact that shrimps are mainly raised. Shrimp has high requirements on water quality. It is okay to talk about ponds, but in the deep ditch area, when there is a heavy rain, the sediment will rush in. In the ditch, the water source is turbid, which is not conducive to the growth of shrimp seedlings.

Shen Biao originally wanted to plant pastures on both sides of the ditch, and put aquatic plants in the ditch, which would greatly alleviate the situation, but after careful consideration by Yunli, he decided to advance the original plan. The open space on both sides of the ditch will be planted On the lawn belt, pave the pedestrian stones, and build a P-shaped trellis on the other side, which will be used for planting grapes later. This will not only stabilize the sediment, but also provide shade and protection for the ditches, and can be used for Sightseeing purposes, after the completion, must be a major feature of the manor.

Shen Biao and the others are no strangers to Yunli's whimsical ideas, not to mention that this plan is indeed very promising, so they started to prepare for the construction. As for the cultivation of bamboo shrimp seedlings, they are also on the agenda. The side project does not affect this, as long as it can be completed as soon as possible, there will be no problem.

Shen Hong and her mother finally came back. After systematic treatment, her mother's leg disease has improved a lot. After that, it is enough to pay attention to applying medicine and recuperating on time. Now even in rainy weather, the soreness is much less. It will not hinder normal walking, and you can live a normal life.

In order to welcome them back, everyone specially prepared a dinner table for them. The family has been separated for so many years because of this matter, and now they can finally sit at the same table again, which makes people sigh.

Shen Hong's mother doesn't want to go back to the village for the time being. Although Shen Biao has no objection, but Shen Hong wants to resume work, leaving her alone at home is not reassuring, and their house in the town is still left by Mrs. Shen Hong. The conditions are not good, the summer is sultry, and the water seeps in rainy days, so it is not a good place for recuperation.

The three of them held their own opinions, and everyone couldn't get in the way. Seeing that a family reunion was about to turn into a silent depression, Yun Li suggested that Shen Hong and her mother move to the office building. There is no shortage of rooms anyway, and the manor The environment here is good, just suitable for her mother to recuperate.

This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, and Shen Biao also thought it was the best proposal, and their mother and daughter had no objections, so the matter was settled. After dinner, Shen Biao immediately went to the town to pack their luggage. After moving here, I also bought a lot of daily necessities, for fear that the two of them would regret it.

After Shen Hong returned to the manor, she signed a new labor contract. The salary was the same as Huang Li's and the others. Her salary was two thousand and five. Her main job was to assist Lu Ci. The strawberry plants were approaching flowering now, and the workload was increasing. Unable to find a suitable person to help Lu Ci, Shen Hong came back this time just to catch up.

Moreover, the management of Jifang Garden cannot be entirely counted on Lu Ci alone. Shen Hong also has to learn the operation and management of equipment, and help Lu Ci share some work tasks, and her mother usually has nowhere to go, and the doctor told her not to be old. Sitting and lying down is good for recovery, so she often goes to Jifang Garden to help.

Shen Hong's mother's name is Xu Yan, and she has a little distant relationship with Uncle Xu and his family. Since she helps with work every day, Yunli can't let her contribute for nothing. Originally, he wanted to sign a contract with her, and the salary was the same as Xu Bo's. Uncle and the others were equal, but their family disagreed, and they refused to take it anyway, so Yunli had no choice but to give up and told Shen Hong not to make her mother too tired. As for the salary, he asked Xu Xiangjiao to give Shen Hong and Shen Biao more money. Bonuses will do.

Shen Hong is very adaptable, and she quickly got used to the affairs of Jifang Garden. She was also surprised by the changes in the manor. In just a few months, she took on a new look, although she already knew about it on the phone. The situation, but seeing it with one's own eyes is another experience.

The scaffolding project on the side of the breeding ditch is under construction. In order to meet the needs of future planting, the main body of the scaffolding is made of steel. This structure is based on the scaffolding on the virgin fruit field. It can be used as a climbing frame for plants, and can also extend out of the roof. It has various functions and is convenient to manage.

The network of deep ditches covers the entire Xiaolu Mountain and the low-lying area bordering Dalu Mountain. With such a large area, the amount of work and cost are not small. During this period of time, the income and expenditure of the manor have been at a critical point, and there is almost nothing to flow Funds, every income, within a few days, are spent on this project or that expenditure, but because of this, the manor is changing little by little, moving towards Yunli's ideal path.

On the other side of the big pond in the depression, the fish fry that were released last year are finally ready to be harvested. This time it is He Liyu's Mingli Aquatic Products Company that is here to buy. Although Mingyi Hotel also intends to purchase this batch of adult fish, they have a fixed Aquatic partners, the supply procedures will not be completed in a short while, not to mention that the quantity of this batch of fish is not large, and there are only three kinds, so it is impossible to achieve a stable supply, so they can only be sold to other wholesalers.

He Liyu has been keeping an eye on the harvest of the manor for a long time. Recently, he has called every few days to inquire about the time of harvest, and the quotation he gave is not bad, so Yunli still chooses to supply them. In addition, Mingli Aquatic Products also It is Rong Haiming's family's property, so Yunli has to take care of it anyway, after all, it was Rong Haiming and the others who helped the manor connect with Mingyi Hotel.
