Live broadcast: I raise bees deep in the rainforest

The next day.

Lin Xiaoyu and Wang Xue got up early in the morning and started picking mangoes.

Su Ran ignored them and walked into the valley after breakfast.

Buzz buzz buzz.

(Wang)

(Hua Hua)

Xiao Ling'er flew around him, guiding him to see the newly blooming flowers.

Su Ran gave it a smile:"Very beautiful."

Xiao Ling'er flew to his shoulder with even more joy.

(What are you doing?)

"Let's go see the pond."

Su Ran walked to the side of the pond.

He saw that the water had become clear.

After a few days of sedimentation, the muddy water had been washed away.

Standing by the pond, he could clearly see the sand at the bottom of the water.

A group of small fish were swimming in the pond, playing a chasing game.

(Wang)

(Huahua)

Xiao Ling'er flew to the lotus, then flew back and danced in front of him.

Su Ran was embarrassed.

He had lied to Xiao Ling'er last time that he would plant lotus flowers for them in the pond.

"Don't worry, the flowers haven't been delivered yet."

He waved his hand and squatted on the edge to look into the water.

He wanted to find the two turtles, but he didn't know if they were there. He looked for more than ten minutes and couldn't tell.

"It seems they are really gone."

He quickly gave up the search and turned to the sand pool.

There were many flowers over there, including a field of cosmos, which was blooming very vigorously.

There was also a sunflower, which had grown very tall.

The flower disk was as big as a washbasin.

Two flower bees were lying on it, collecting honey for the morning.

(Wang)

(Kui Kui)

Xiao Ling'er reminded Su Ran happily.

Su Ran nodded and was about to take Xiao Ling'er to see.

But when he passed the sand pool, he found some strange marks on the sand.

"What is this?"

He stopped curiously and observed the traces.

The sand pool was not big, only 20 square meters. It was probably closest to the water source.

A line of chicken footprints passed through it, scratching some sand, looking for food.

"One big and two small, they should be peacock pheasants."

Su Ran nodded slightly.

There were some small footprints on the sand, which looked like mouse footprints.

The strangest thing was a row of footprints not far apart, and the sand in the middle was very smooth, as if it had been pressed.

The direction of the footprints was exactly the slope.

Su Ran slowly became surprised.

"Could it be?"

He walked carefully into the sand pool and dug where the traces disappeared.

Buzz buzz buzz.

(What are you doing?)

Xiao Ling'er flew to Su Ran's arm and asked curiously.

"I see if it's your Che Che, laying eggs."

Su Ran smiled and moved the two handfuls of sand away.

(Che Che)

(Where)

Xiao Ling'er searched happily, but didn't find Che Che.

Su Ran shook his head and ignored the fool.

As a bee, he actually liked to play with other creatures.

He even suspected that the bees were hardworking because of simple instinct.

Instinct drives them to work non-stop.

When they have higher intelligence, that is, they can think, they are less controlled by instinct and are not so hardworking.

Xiao Ling'er is a representative

"Maybe Xiao Ling'er is just an outlier."

He smiled.

Other flower bees are also smart, but they still keep the habit of working from sunrise to sunset. They are not as clingy to him as Xiao Ling'er.

After a while

, he had dug 20 centimeters deep and did not find any eggs. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

(Call me)

Xiao Ling'er did not find the car, and landed on his head again

"I didn't say you."

Su Ran was very careful, slowly sweeping out the sand. He continued to dig.

He had never seen turtle eggs.

But he had seen animal documentaries and knew that turtles liked to lay eggs on the beach and then bury them.

This was also the reason why he built a sand pool.

The climate on Coconut Island is relatively mild, and some animals do not hibernate, or the hibernation time is shortened, so the breeding period is earlier than that of most species.

"strangeness"

"That shouldn't be the case."

When he dug 40 centimeters, he still found no turtle eggs.

Although the giant soft-shell turtle is very big, it is not easy for it to dig such a deep hole.

(What are you doing)

Xiao Ling'er flew into the hole, buzzing curiously.

He couldn't understand why his master kept digging in the sand.

Su Ran rolled his eyes, bent down and reached out to dig:"Get out of the way, you go find Lin Xiaoyu... huh?"

He felt his fingers touch something soft, and sat up quickly.

He looked into the hole.

Xiao Ling'er flew out quickly.

(Snake)

(Snake)

(Scared)

Su Ran was very happy.

There were white turtle eggs in the hole.

Round, like a small ping-pong ball.

They were quietly buried in the sand.

"These are not snake eggs, they are turtle eggs."

Su Ran gently swept the sand away and found more turtle eggs.

They were piled together, about a dozen in number.

During the breeding season, turtles can lay more than 100 eggs.

But they are not laid all at once.

Instead, they are laid several times, every 15 to 20 days or so.

He had just built the sand pool when he encountered a female turtle laying eggs.

He was very excited.

After confirming that the turtle had laid eggs, he filled the sand back.

"Turtle buried the eggs so deep, and buried them here, Xiao Ling'er, do you know why?"

Buzz buzz buzz.

(I don't understand)

Xiao Ling'er lay on his clothes, shaking his wings.

"There are three main reasons"

"First, it protects the eggs from being eaten by rats and snakes."

"Second, turtles are very smart. They use sand to hatch, and the temperature in the sand is more balanced."

"Finally, places with sand are usually close to water sources, so when the baby comes out, it can quickly hide in the water."

Su Ran covered all the sand and said as he swept the traces.

(I don't understand)

Xiao Ling'er still doesn't understand

"You'd better understand"

"If we are lucky, many small cars will come out of here in the future."

Su Ran patted the sand gently.

Animals in nature have their own way of reproduction.

He didn't know whether these eggs were fertilized. He didn't want to pick them up and incubate them artificially.

The survival of turtles is difficult and inseparable from humans.

Not every egg can be hatched, and not every turtle can crawl out and grow up smoothly.

They live in the wild environment.

From the time they are eggs, they have been tested.

If he picked them up and incubated them, he would interrupt their communication with nature and have to raise them for life.

This responsibility is better left to the two big turtles.
