Chapter 179 Domestication of honey bees

Shen Cong came to the honeycomb hive for the second time and received a warm welcome. The entire hive, except for the flightless larvae, all rushed towards Shen Cong.

These fist-sized bees surrounded Shen Cong in layers, biting him crazily.

But they are too weak. Not to mention Shen Cong, even if a random evolver comes in and wears a little more tight clothing, there will be nothing the honey bees can do.

Shen Cong, who was wearing a honey bee coat, slapped the honey bees away from the armor mask, ignored the honey bees on his body, and ran directly to the hive. The house-sized hive had already repaired the hive that Shen Cong had removed last time. Plate. Shen Cong tore open another piece and found that the honey bees were very hardworking and had already replenished the honey bees.

Without saying anything, I took out the backpack made of golden dragon skin and spread it on the ground.

The faint smell of golden dragon made the honey bees scatter and fly away, and the world became peaceful.

"If I had known I would have taken it out earlier, the golden dragon would still be powerful even after death." Shen Cong still cut off half of the hive plates containing honey treasures and put them into the forward bag.

But this time he not only wanted honeybees, but also took away some honeybees and larvae to go back and do research.

"The bee pupa should be at the top part... Sure enough, there are white bee pupa larvae inside, and there are a lot of them. I'll just cut off a piece of the hive and take it away."

After cutting off the hive where the bee pupae were found, Shen Cong was looking for another thing - royal jelly, which should be called precious royal jelly at this time.

Royal jelly is the secretion of the pharyngeal glands of worker bees that cultivate larvae in bees. It is food specially given to the larvae of queen bee candidates. It is also the food of the queen bee (queen bee) throughout her life. Generally, the larvae will first eat royal jelly for three days, and then eat honey and pollen. A worker bee; one that keeps eating royal jelly will grow into a queen bee.

"The royal jelly is in the royal platform. The royal platform is where the queen bee lives. Cut some of the royal jelly to see if there are any larvae inside... Cut a little more royal jelly... I want to eat it too."

The royal platform was not big, so Shen Cong directly cut off more than half of it, which frightened the slightly larger queen bee into hiding in the hive and did not dare to show her face.

There are indeed several larvae in Wangtai's hive. These larvae are obviously used to cultivate new queen bees. However, what makes Shen Cong strange is that he has checked the information about bees and it is usually when the queen bee is old that she will breed new queens. The queen bee then divides the bees naturally, and the old queen leads a group of bees to leave and build a new nest.

The honey bees here have only mutated for more than five months, so the queen will not grow old so quickly.

"Perhaps this queen bee is actually the old queen bee?"

Shen Cong did not delve into the unimportant question. He directly packed the cut hive plates carefully and sealed them. Then he used an odor-masking spray produced by the camp to spray it on his snakeskin bag and himself to cover up the honey. The smell of treasure. He didn’t want to attract another group of angry sparrows.

Put on your backpack and leave quickly.

The convoy in front slowed down, and Donkey Kong quickly caught up with the convoy.

When they arrived at Miaogang Township, Shen Cong got off the car again. This time he went to collect traffic persimmons. Unfortunately, this time the traffic persimmons did bear fruit, but all the ripe fruits were eaten by a kind of flying bird, leaving only the traffic persimmons. The tender green little fruit.

Shaking his head, Shen Cong didn't pick it up.

In this way, the team successfully returned to Hefei and the Mingfa camp.

Depart in the morning and return in the afternoon.

The trip went very smoothly.

The survivors of the Grape Forest Camp were warmly welcomed by the survivors of the Mingfa Camp. The leadership, headed by Commander Zhao Weiliang, immediately absorbed the management of the Grape Forest Camp and was busy arranging housing and work for the new survivors, and recording Archives shall be incorporated into unified military management.



After dinner, Wang Yingying came over.

Shen Cong's identity has basically been determined. He was Huang Xiaoming in Grape Forest Camp, and Hu Ge in Mingfa Camp. This must be a pseudonym, but the name is no longer important. At present, he is still Colonel Hu Ge.

"Boss Huang, my parents' names are not on the roster." Wang Yingying said.

Shen Cong returned a pendant to her: "Well, also, the Green Faced Fangs group are not here either."

Wang Yingying controlled her emotions: "Thank you."

"What...what are your plans next?" Shen Cong asked coldly.

"I don't know. Commander Zhao said that after the new city is established, the personnel will be completely reformed. For now, he will cooperate with the pacification of the survivors of Grape Grove Camp."

"Um."

Shen Cong responded casually and said nothing more. He was just busy wiping the mud splashed on Donkey Kong's armor. He loved Donkey Kong even more than he did himself.

This attitude is self-evident, and the conversation time is over.

"Then I'll leave first, Boss Huang, no, Colonel Hu."

As soon as Wang Yingying left, Li Aiping came over with Director Zhao Kan and several other experts from the scientific research institute: "Colonel, Director Zhao and the others are here."

Zhao Kan and others were invited by Shen Cong to Li Aiping in order to study honey treasures.

After sending Li Aiping away, Shen Cong invited a group of ordinary people from the scientific research institute into the King Kong carriage, which was restricted to the slaughter area in the back cabin.

If Mibao hadn't made sure that the smell didn't spread, he wouldn't have let people get on the bus.

"Director Zhao, this is the honey bee. I have ten samples of mature worker bees here. This area is the hive where the honey bees and bee pupae are stored. This small area is the royal platform. There are larvae in it. I would like to ask you to study it. The composition of honey bees, and at the same time, see if we can tame honey bees as a breeding project in the camp."

"What a magical little thing... Colonel Hu always brings luck to the camp. When we return, we will set up a special honey bee laboratory, which will be personally managed by director Xu Changde, a biology expert, to study the breeding of honey bees. "Zhao Kan is still very enthusiastic about scientific research.

Xu Changde is the deputy director of the scientific research institute, specializing in biology. He was once an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology of China. He considered and said: "I have studied bee breeding technology for a period of time. If the habits of honey bees and bees are not much different, it should be It can be domesticated successfully.”

"That's good. I'll leave these hives to you. Although the honeycomb has limited ability to strengthen the body of the evolver, it is a very good active fruit catalyst. I believe it will be of great help to the evolution of human beings."

"Colonel Hu, don't worry, we will definitely make the honey bee project a key project of the scientific research institute!"



After Zhao Kan and his party left, Shen Cong himself also established a cultivation place in the greenhouse.

He not only left half of the royal hive, but also most of the honey treasures and half of the precious royal jelly. Although Shen Cong coveted these precious royal jelly, he did not keep it for himself, but planned to feed the royal jelly with the precious royal jelly. There was a larva in Taiwan's hive, and he was going to use this larva to see if it could be cultivated into a queen bee.

If possible, establish a sensory connection by the way, control the queen bee to build a nest, and raise bees directly by yourself, so that you can drink precious honey treasure and precious royal jelly every day.

"Bees can collect nectar by themselves, which is more cost-effective than raising ants." Shen Cong glanced around and looked for metal scraps and active cores to feed the blackheads of Ant Lishen.

Now that the ant power god has become a foodie, it consumes a lot of metal and active cores every day, and its abdomen is swelling day by day. Shen Cong is very suspicious that it will grow into an ugly big belly like the short and fierce ant queen.

Fortunately, the anthill space cannot accommodate it.

Otherwise, Shen Cong can only throw the ant force god out and let it dig the soil to make its nest.

Gathering his thoughts, Shen Cong looked at the honey bee larvae in the royal platform, and his brain started to work: "I previously established a perceptual connection with the black head and the ant force god. It was when the ant eggs were dying, and I established a connection with the mechanical vines. At that time...should we wait until the larvae are half starved to death before using active contact?"
