"Three bees?" the old man said with a smile: "They are also a very good choice! Place them in the pasture, and they will automatically collect nectar for you and bring it back."
Naoki nodded, but also had some doubts in his heart.
Because Pokémon like Tribee is a social Pokémon.
They have been three together since they were born and will swear allegiance to the queen bee.
They will also work with the other three bees to please the queen bee for their own group, and work hard to carry sweet nectar for the queen bee from morning to night.
But after Naoki's observation, the three bees in Happy Ranch don't seem to need a queen bee.
Thinking of this, Naoki asked: "If I buy three bees, do I need to buy another queen bee?"
The old man immediately understood what he meant. He smiled and shook his head and said: "Of course not. The three bees sold to customers are different from the wild ones. They have been specially cultivated and can be alone even without a queen bee.
Survive."
"In other words, to them, you who raise them and take care of them are the [queen bee] of this group of three bees."
Naoki: "..."
Although it sounded a little strange, he still understood.
The old man continued: "Three bees live in a hive, in groups of three. If there are large flower fields nearby, they can produce honey very quickly and can harvest it once a day."
"But the opposite is also true, if there are few nearby flowers, the rate at which they produce honey will also drop significantly."
Naoki nodded thoughtfully, "Then I'll buy a set first."
He originally wanted to save money to expand his residence and improve his quality of life.
But now it seems that it will take a certain amount of time to save 2 million, so it is better to build the infrastructure in the ranch first.
Such as the hive where three bees live, the Pokémon hut where large milk tanks are kept, the sheep pen where braided sheep live, etc.
"Okay." The old man said with a smile on his face: "Then I will go back and ask Xiaomei to send you the three bees and these feeds."
Xiaomei is the old man's granddaughter, the girl who delivered chickens to Naoki before. She is working as a delivery boy here.
Zhi Shu nodded, paid the money, and left here, returning to the ranch.
After taking the medicine with hot water and waiting for ten minutes, the round-faced girl with freckles, Xiaomei, arrived at the ranch.
She greeted Naoki politely: "Hello, Mr. Naoki!"
Naoki nodded to her: "Hello, Xiaomei."
He stepped forward to help Xiaomei put the chicken feed into the silo, and then turned his attention to the hive on the tricycle.
The shape of the hive is like a square log cabin with a triangular roof, supported by four pillars below, and a square opening in the front.
Looking in along the entrance of the hole, Naoki saw three three bees stacked together, looking timidly at the scene outside.
Not to mention, the three bees are quite cute, like honey lumps with wings.
And all three of them seemed to be males, because Naoki didn't see any red spots on their faces below.
This is exactly the symbol of the male three bees.
Unlike females, male three bees have no evolved form and can never evolve into a queen bee.
In the colony, they usually play the role of worker bees.
At this time, Xiaomei on the side asked: "Mr. Naoki, where should this hive be placed?"
Naoki pointed to the green grass next to the wooden house, "Just put it there!"
It is close to the wooden house and faces the flower fields, so it is easier to collect honey and other things.
Xiaomei nodded, stepped forward to place the hive, then said goodbye to Naoki, turned around and left.
Zhi Shu walked up and squatted down, looked at the three three bees, and said hello to them: "Hi, three bees, my name is Zhi Shu, and I am the rancher of this ranch. Please take good care of me from now on!"
"
The three bees felt the kindness released by this human being and were not so afraid.
Seeing this, Zhi Shu found tree fruits and snacks from the house to feed them to enhance their relationship.
But the three three bees only came up to smell it and then retreated without eating.
"Huh? Don't you want to eat tree fruits?" Zhi Shu was a little surprised, because in his opinion, tree fruits are food that every Pokémon can accept.
"I forgot to ask Xiaomei just now."
After thinking for a while, Zhi Shu returned to the house and found the "Range Encyclopedia" that Mayor Thomas left for him, and finally found the food for Three Bees in "Raising Pokémon".
"Three Bees are very special Pokémon. Most of the time they don't need artificial feeding because they go out to find pollen and nectar to eat."
"But if there is rainy weather or winter, the three bees will generally not choose to go out in the hive. If the rainy weather is too long, beekeepers can help them replenish their energy by feeding them syrup."
"But it should be noted that before winter comes, beekeepers must leave some honey in the hive for the three bees. They need to rely on this honey to get through this period without flowers."
"Syrup?" Naoki secretly kept these information in his mind and decided to buy some to prepare when he goes to town tomorrow to learn how to make poffin.
Because of his fever today, he was unable to go to the dessert shop, so he had to postpone his plan until tomorrow.
At this time, the three bees began to leave the hive and actively contacted the outside world.
At this time, the flower field has just been planted and has not grown yet, but besides there, there are other flowers in the pasture.
It is spring, and there are many wild flowers growing in the grass in the pasture, which attract many butterflies. In the past, the Motorized Lizard often ran over to pounce on the butterflies.
The three bees also followed the scent and found the wild flowers. They flapped their transparent little wings and floated above, gently collecting pollen and nectar from them.
I ate some myself, and then took the rest back to the hive to store and make honey.
The other two Three Bees did the same thing.
Watching them start working as soon as they arrived at the pasture, Naoki couldn't help but think: "It's really hard work!"
He also has to work hard.
Naoki thought of the thief who broke into the chicken hut, made a series of arrest plans in his mind, and then found Bada Butterfly in the pasture.
"Ba Dahu, can you use paralysis powder or hypnotic powder now?" Naoki asked.
"咒咒咿~" Bada Butterfly nodded happily. Not only that, it can also use a more powerful power grid!
"Very good, then I have a task for you now."
Naoki told Badahu all about his plan, then went to the chicken hut and made a simple mechanism using the tools in the pasture.
As long as the door of the chicken house is pushed open, it will cause a sound. At that time, Bada Butterfly will be able to find the target and then use sleeping powder on it.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
The next step is to wait patiently for the fish to take the bait.
