Chapter 174 The beekeepers came to the village (first update)
There was no further delay on the way, and when the two of them returned to Dixiangzi, Wang Dalong was leading a group of people down the ridge, preparing to go home after work.
The Immortal Pillar where Lu Lu first stayed has now become a utility room.
There are quite a few frames with furs stretched inside to dry in the shade. Although most of them are greyhound skins, a little adds up. Add in yellow skins and mountain civet skins. It is estimated that they can be sold for several hundred yuan.
Every time they enter the Immortal Pillar to place tools and see these things, a group of old men are filled with sighs.
If a group of people suffers, no one can win.
But envy is envy, and everyone knows that they are not the material to eat this bowl of rice, so they should do whatever they want.
After saying hello to Lu Lu, Wang Dalong and his group walked towards the woods outside the cellar. Chen Xiuqing also jumped up and followed. Even Lu Lu refused to let him have a meal.
Lu Lu could see through his thoughts at a glance, and it was obvious that he wanted to seize the opportunity and become familiar with Wang Dalong first.
He couldn't help but smile and muttered: "This boy... If he wants to marry his wife, he is going to win over his father-in-law first!"
After a few people left, Lu Lu went to the meadow, brought Zhuifeng back and tied him to the linden tree next to the cellar, and put some bean cakes in the manger to feed him.
The linden tree is about to bloom.
This is good honey, with a fragrant and mellow smell, and is as fine as white oil after crystallization. In these days, it is a good product for earning foreign exchange through large-scale foreign trade. The income from beekeeping is better than doing odd jobs in farms and forest farms.
The few people Zhang Shaofeng brought here are all whom he values more and are good people.
His bee buckets have been set up and have been idle. You can go to them and ask them if you can buy a few swarms to fill them. With the scarcity of black bees in the mountains, I want to fill them by dividing the bees alone.
Bucket, I guess it's a bit difficult.
"The director asked me to come to you... Someone from the district is presiding over the election of the village chief in the village. He asked me to ask you to vote too." Meng Kuisong said with a smile.
The originally skinny body began to gradually become plump, and the dry black fur began to gain luster.
"Brother Lu, can you come down here?" Chen Xiuqing came over and asked with a smile.
While he was sitting on the wooden pillar in front of the cellar to rest, Chen Xiuqing ran back.
First, he stopped by to see the corns planted in the field, which had sprouted and sprouted. Then, he went to see the water in the rice fields. After checking that there was no problem, he turned back to Tunzhong Road.
Lu Lu looked at the time and said he had to cook quickly. He said hello casually.
The stronger the bee swarm is, the better it is to keep. He can use the method of dividing bees to quickly place all the bee buckets into the bee swarm, but in this way, the bee swarm will be too weak.
"I saw bees flying around those boxes. I heard from Uncle Wang that they came to the village to release bees." Chen Xiuqing asked strangely: "Can we still release bees?"
Especially chasing the flowering seasons in various places, traveling long distances, and sleeping outdoors all year round is even more tiring.
After walking for a while, a man hurriedly walked towards me from the village and called out from a distance: "Brother, I'm just going to find you!"
The linden tree is in flowering period from mid-June to mid-July every year. The bees released during this period are obviously for the nectar of the linden tree flowers.
Don't look at finding a place with good honey sources to settle down. Once the beehive is placed, the tent is set up, and then you can live a life guarding the bee colonies. It seems leisurely, but it is not as easy as imagined. This is still a technical job,
It is not easy for people who do not fully understand bees to play with them.
Chen Xiuqing talks like Uncle Wang when he opens and closes his mouth, but this guy is really sweet-tongued.
It would be nice to have a beekeeper. We have a rest tomorrow and Lu Lu is going to take a look.
After simply washing up, cooking two side dishes and having breakfast, Lu Lu slowly led the four Yuan Baoniang to Xiushan Tun.
Don’t be greedy for bee swarms. Don’t always think that the more bees you divide, the more powerful they will be. If the swarm is too weak, the temperature and humidity of the bee swarm itself will be difficult to stabilize, and the ability to resist diseases and insect pests will be greatly weakened. Moreover, even if the swarm is strong,
Yes, but whether the surrounding flower and plant resources can be supplied is another issue that needs to be considered.
"Why not? Isn't it normal to lead a swarm of bees chasing flowers and honey?"
When my energy level was high, Zhui Feng became more and more irritable. He would always run and cheer in the place where he was tied to eat grass. A good piece of grass was tortured until there was black mud everywhere. But it was this kind of venting exercise.
Make its muscles plump and firm.
Lu Lu doesn't plan to raise too many. He only needs thirty or forty groups around Caodianzi.
"I have never seen or heard of it before. This is the first time someone has come to our Xiushan Village. Uncle Wang often works outside and travels to many places. He said he has seen him several times."
After staying in the mountains for two months, he only encountered two swarms of black bees when hunting bears, and Chen Xiuqing informed him of the other swarms.
Chen Xiuqing said while jumping over the river: "There are a lot of boxes loaded on the car."
Before that, you have to tame it, otherwise, no one will dare to get close to it, because the horseshoe will kick people, which is not good.
When Lu Lu said this, he looked at the surrounding mountains and forests. He walked to the lime tree where the horse was tied and looked at it. He found that there were already tiny flower buds on the branches.
"OK!"
Climb mountains and eat food for your body.
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 flower and plant resources, especially the lime trees. There are many trees around Caodianzi and Xiushantun
Many linden trees.
The next morning, he got up relatively slowly. Wang Dalong and others had been working for some time before he got up.
Black bees not only have to face bad weather, but also have to endure a cruel environment. How difficult it is to survive.
After a busy day, he walked more than a hundred miles back and forth, which was a big drain. Lu Lu himself felt that his legs were sore and numb, as if he was exhausted.
On weekdays, when I met Lu Lu, they were also called brothers. When planting rice seedlings, Meng Kuisong also helped for a long time.
It also felt good to Lu Lu.
"Okay, okay... I'll feed you some!"
Lu Lu looked at its hoof shell, which had grown a lot, and thought about finding someone in the village who knew how to shoe horses in the past few days to give it a good pair of horseshoes.
The whole horse looks a lot more majestic and majestic, and it becomes more and more beautiful.
If you don't have a good body, you won't be able to withstand the hardships.
"What are you doing?" Lu Lu asked casually.
Lu Lu glanced at the visitor: "Brother Meng, what's going on?"
Avoid greed when keeping bees.
Lu Lu glanced at him, this kid was unwilling to stay before... His feelings were just to follow Wang Dalong outside.
Lu Lu can still be satisfied with this little thing.
Don't be greedy for honey. Every time you take honey, get all the honey from the hive. What will the bees eat? That's a mouth full of thousands of things that need to eat at every turn.
When the two of them filled their stomachs, it was already dark and the moonlight was not bad. Chen Xiuqing did not use the lantern and was busy walking to Xiushan Village.
"Stay for dinner?"
He was carrying a shotgun, so Lu Lu wasn't worried about anything happening to him.
This man was a militiaman in the village, his name was Meng Kuisong, and he had not had many contacts with her before. However, when he went into the mountains to rescue Wang Dalong's daughter-in-law Zhao Meiling, a group of people ate and drank in front of the cellar in the evening, and they got to know each other well.
"Brother Lu, a car entered the village just now."
After feeding the four Yuan Baoniang with bear meat, Lu Lu also went to bed early.
It has been quite a while since Zhui Feng was bought. During this time, Lu Lu did not let him do anything. He was fed and drank every day, and fortunately, Zhui Feng was served with food. Zhui Feng's transformation was not small.
This time, Chen Xiuqing seemed very happy and agreed immediately.
Lu Lu laughed: "With or without me, it doesn't matter."
"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 will happen?"
