Daily Forest Ranger: Start Saving Giant Pandas

Chapter 102 The stingless bee in the deep forest and the fragrant honey

(Anchor, is this a bee?)
(This bee is so big, much bigger than other bees!)
"Yes, this is the bee."

Lin Xuan looked at the bees flying around the bunches of flowers, and smiled slightly.

Not long after, the bee flew aside.

"Okay, everyone, let's hurry up."

Lin Xuan followed the bee, and then walked in another direction.

Soon, led by the bees, he came to an old tree that seemed to be very old.

The trunk of the old tree was as thick as two people hugging each other, and the bark had turned dark.

The strange thing is that only half of the tree is growing vigorously, and the other half is dead.

Lin Xuan walked around to the dead side, inspected carefully, and found the trace of the bee in a crack.

He took out the dagger, and carefully picked apart the bark near the peeling gap, finally revealing the "true face" hidden under the bark.

It turned out to be a large 'mini' hive!
"Big piece" and "miniature" might sound like contradictions, but they really aren't.

The reason for saying "mini" is that the hives of most bees are very large, while the hives hidden in tree trunks are only the size of two palms and look small and exquisite.

And a large one is because there are more than a dozen of these mini honeycombs hidden in the tree trunk.

This is because Lin Xuan only peeled about half of the bark. If he continues to peel off, there will be more.

(Wow! There are so many hives?)

(Last time I watched the anchor make honey once, but that kind of honeycomb is not the same as this kind of honeycomb!)

(It looks so full, the anchor can make a lot of money this time!)

(With so much honey, if I get all of it, I'm afraid it will take a long time to eat.)
Lin Xuan was also very excited. He didn't expect to find so much wild honey this time following the bee.

It can be said that this is full of gains.

(Anchor, will this kind of bee sting people?)

(Yeah, anchor, you have to be careful.)
Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Lin Xuan smiled slightly.

He stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the hive.

Sensing the arrival of the "intruder", the bee climbed directly onto Lin Xuan's hand, crawling back and forth, but couldn't take him at all.

(Damn it, the anchor is too courageous, this is a bee!)
(If you get stung, it hurts!)
The viewers in the live broadcast room, most of their perceptions of bees are that bees sting people.

After all, in the past, there was news that a bee stings a person, and the person died.

Seeing the worry of the audience in the live broadcast room, Lin Xuan shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, everyone, don't you feel surprised when you see this bee crawling back and forth on my hand, but it didn't sting me at all?" '

As the camera got closer, the audience also discovered that these bees were completely different from the bees they had seen.

Although these bees were very anxious, they didn't sting the anchor, which made them very puzzled.

(Anchor, what's going on? These bees, why don't they sting you?)
(Yeah, I'm curious!)

The audience in the live broadcast room turned into curious babies one after another.

"Actually, this bee is called a stingless bee. Just like its name, it means that it does not have poisonous stings like other bees. This kind of stingless bee does not sting."

(It turned out to be stingless bees. I said why these bees don’t sting people. Now I understand.)
(However, anchor, I have a question. Everyone knows that the sting of a bee is a weapon used to protect itself and protect the hive from intrusion, but if this stingless bee does not have a sting, isn’t it equivalent to being unable to protect itself? lair?)
(That’s right, there are quite a few animals in the wild who like to eat honey, right? Doesn’t it mean that they are giving away the honey you have brewed?)
"Well, you're right."

"Indeed, as you said, this stingless bee has no needles, which means it has no ability to protect the nest."

"But you can think about it, if we didn't have a drone that kept observing the whereabouts of this bee, we found this location."

"It can be said that without the careful observation of the drone, wouldn't it be very difficult for us to find this location?"

Listening to Lin Xuan's words, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that, indeed, without drones along the way, it would be very difficult for the anchor to find this position.

At least it will take a lot of effort to find this position.

"Everyone can still take a look here."

Lin Xuan zoomed in on the camera of the drone and looked at a piece of bark below the hive.

I saw that the dark bark seemed to be wet by something, forming an inconspicuous mark like water stains, winding all the way to the ground.

"Because this kind of stingless bee is relatively small in size, the hive it builds is also slender and compact. Compared with the hive built by ordinary bees, its load-bearing capacity is slightly weaker."

"Everyone has also seen that this group of stingless bees has covered many layers of hives in this hollow old tree. That is to say, they have lived here at least for many years."

"However, when they are exposed, it also means that the invaders will come soon."

"Even if I don't harvest the honey, other secret hunters will come."

"Look. Because of the upper honeycomb, the bottom honeycomb has been crushed, and the honey is leaking out. This is easy to attract the attention of other animals."

"So at this time, I need to collect honey in time and leave in time."

After listening to the anchor's explanation, the audience also saw it.

In fact, they were a little unhappy after what the anchor said just now.

After all, the beehive is fine here, but because the anchor came over, the bark was peeled off, which led to the discovery of traces of bees.

And in this way, it is easy to attract other animals to collect honey.

But before the anchor found out, the bottom of the hive had been crushed, causing the honey to flow outward, so the anchor couldn't be blamed for this at all.

Lin Xuan took out several larger sealed bags, and then began to cut the honey.

(Anchor, according to what you said, if this hive encounters other animals and the hive is destroyed, then these stingless bees will have no home?)
(Ah, if that's the case, it's too pitiful.)
"Don't worry, everyone. Stingless bees are very gregarious. Even if there is no hive, they will not disperse. Instead, they will move together and find a new place to live."

(Oh, so that's the case, so I'm relieved.)
As soon as the words fell, Lin Xuan carefully cut off the first piece of honey.

Not to mention, this stingless bee hive looks small, but when it is held in the hand, it is heavy. One can imagine how much honey is stored in it.

No wonder the lower hives are crushed.
