Chapter 40 40. Placing beehives
Back home, Song Sancheng started a new round of busyness.
His memory is not as good as when he was young. In order to be sure, he could only hold his mobile phone and listen to the beekeeper's instructions over and over before starting to prepare things.
Song Youde heard that his granddaughter wanted to keep bees, so he hurried over to take a look after lunch. When I saw Song Sancheng still cutting asbestos tiles there, I couldn't help but feel disgusted:
"Look at you, how do you work so hard? This beehive must be put away first!"
>
As soon as Song Tan heard this, she knew that her grandfather was also an amateur giving blind orders.
Sure enough, Song Sancheng hummed while working and said: "Dad, please don't cause trouble. The beekeeper said that there must be a rainproof board on the beehive. I will put this Cut the whole piece of asbestos tile just enough to cover them."
Song Youde made a mistake in command, and his old face was a little embarrassed:
"You only know how to keep bees before! , the bottom of the box must be padded, it must be ten or twenty centimeters high!”
This time he was not lying, the bottom of the beehive really needs to be padded, firstly to prevent insects and moisture, and secondly for ventilation.
Song Tan also smiled: "Grandpa, you have so much experience!"
"They have also done anti-ant treatment on the box. We plan to place this beehive outside the yard, next to the back mountain. . ”
“But I heard that the beehives have to be placed in steps up and down, and they need to be shaded - why don’t you help me find out which place is more suitable? ”
That’s what happened to the beehives? , the ability to recognize the nest is relatively poor.
So the beehives must not only be placed in a ladder shape from top to bottom, but the distance between each beehive must be almost five meters. The mouth of the beehive should face the south, but the direction of each box should be different...
Song Tan used to see people keeping bees in rows and rows of boxes, and thought they were just placed randomly
Now it turns out that they really have a way of doing anything.
Song Youde was assigned a job and felt that his personal value had been further reflected. He was smoking a cigarette and wandering around the yard.
Song Sancheng glanced at his daughter and thought that the child's mouth looked a bit like her mother's.
The child’s mother, Wulan, found a few shallow plates, melted some sugar water and brought them out:
"Let them eat for two days first. I see that some of the milkvetch in the field are already budding. They will bloom in a few days, and then you can collect honey."
But that's what it said. He said, but she didn't move.
After all, there were a few buzzing bees surrounding it, which still made people feel a little scared.
Song Tan didn't care though, and simply took the plate over at this moment, with traces of spiritual energy seeping into it.
As soon as it was placed, the bees couldn't wait to surround it. Seeing the posture, Song Sancheng muttered again:
"Why are you so hungry?"
Song Tan's heart moved - the attraction of spiritual energy is so great, she will have to practice insect repelling skills first, otherwise a few wasps will come and kill her. The money is wasted.
Well, these are just simple spells. If you have enough aura, let’s start tonight!
And Qiao Qiao held the box in her hand, watching Song Sancheng work in a rare and obedient manner.
When the asbestos tiles were cut, he raised his head and asked: "Dad, where is mine? Where is my little bear?"
"What's your little bear?"
Song Sancheng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what a feat it was, this bumblebee even had a name!
“You want to ask about your little bear’s rain shield, right?”
Qiao Qiao nodded, her eyes already wandering back and forth on the ground, seeming to choose which one is more suitable
Song Sancheng laughed and pointed to the utility shed in the yard:
"Whether your bumblebee can be placed together with our bees is another matter! Since it is kept for fun, just put it in the corner of the shed."
"It will protect you from wind and rain, and there will be fewer bugs. It’s still safe.”
Of course it’s closer to you if you can keep it in the yard! Qiaoqiao quickly rushed over with the box in hand, and within a short time, she had already chosen a spot.
It was only then that he looked over pitifully: "Sister, I want to open the box and take a look."
Song Tan thought for a while, prepared some more sugar water, also melted the spiritual energy into it, and then opened the box.
I saw the queen bee’s chubby body taking off uncontrollably, then she plunged into the dish and started sucking it impatiently!
Too bad, he is probably hungry and waiting to save energy to lay eggs!
Its chubby butt is pouted high, and the black and yellow plush stripes are clear and bright. The butt is big, round, hairy, and quivering, and it makes people want to touch it.
Qiao Qiao stretched out his finger again, but Song Tan looked at him:
"Your hand doesn't hurt anymore?"
He immediately took his hand back in grievance.
But Song Tan looked left and right, and finally placed the box in a higher place:
"Don't move it."
Bumblebees can dig holes. , wait until the worker bees hatch and the population increases, and then we will see how to arrange it.
Anyway, I don’t expect them to make any money, so just think of finding a hobby for Qiao Qiao.
Hmm...
She recalled the feeling of that furry and chubby thing, and when Qiao Qiao turned around, she quickly opened the box and touched it hard!
On the plate, the bumblebee was almost knocked directly into the sugar water by this touch. At this moment, it stretched out and retracted the spikes that had not touched anything. Finally, it moved its buttocks and buried its head in again. Sucked hard.
……
At this time, Dr. Zhang Yuan from Ning Province had once again become well-known in the hospital!
Not to mention the leaders of the hospital, even the patients came to inquire:
"Dr. Zhang, the vegetable porridge you had for lunch, everyone said that you bought it—— What kind of food? Where did you buy it? How much does it cost per pound? Can our patient eat it?"
Dr. Zhang almost burst into tears of grievance, excitement and disbelief——
Here's the thing.
These vegetables only cost ten kilograms for two hundred yuan, not counting the postage!
The results were received. I had just unpacked the box when the chef from the cafeteria walked over first:
"Dr. Zhang, are you delivering food to your patient again?"
Zhang Yuan quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I bought it with my own money. It costs twenty yuan a pound."
After experiencing the iron-blooded lesson of the head nurse last time, he decided to enlighten himself - These dishes are dedicated to his respected leader!
However, after hesitating for a long time, why he didn't understand why he opened his mouth, he saw that the chef was already holding the dishes, smelling and looking at them:
"Doctor Zhang, I heard that you haven't had a partner yet, right?" Are you living in a dormitory? Oh, this single guy can’t do it. You see, he doesn’t know how to buy so much food at once. It’s all a waste!”
Xiao Zhang The doctor's face turned red. You can't say that I planned to give it to the leader, right?
He didn’t say anything, and the chef made arrangements first:
“I heard that the provincial committee is coming today, your shepherd’s purse is very good, how about I use it to make some dumplings? ”
"This watercress is also good, and the stew soup must be fresh."
"Oh, this wild onion is good! It's so fragrant, I'll stir-fry the beef!"
"This bit of malan head... is too little. Come on, make something weird, or I’ll cook you a pot of vegetable porridge for lunch.”
I didn’t know how to farm, but now I seem to have a lot of theoretical knowledge about beekeeping. . (Writing a novel is not easy!)
Asbestos tile: a simple waterproof material commonly used in rural areas for roofs. It is cheap and lightweight.
Finally, there will be more in the afternoon.
