Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 34 Birch Bee Barrel
Not long after leaving the village, Lu Lv took out the invasion knife he was carrying with him, cut down a small tree by the side of the road, trimmed the branches and leaves, and put the invasion knife on the pier.

For the rest of the road, beyond the scope of the fields, there are forests that block out the sky and the sun, so we have to be careful.

Siberian tigers, Far Eastern leopards (leopards), and Siberian wolves are nocturnal, and some of them often come out of the mountains. There are even many incidents of entering the village to poach livestock and hurt people, which is very dangerous.

Walking in the mountains at night, there are shadows everywhere. Occasionally, a strange scream of night owl, or a sudden shaking of a certain forest can make people's hairs stand on end.

Ordinary people really dare not go this way.

There was nothing wrong along the way, when he was still a few hundred meters away from the cellar, he suddenly heard a small sound coming from the forest ahead.

He stood still all of a sudden, grasping the invasion knife carefully.

After a few breaths, a figure quickly ran out from among the trees, and Lu Lu's heart suddenly hung up. That figure looked like a wolf.

It wasn't until the figure got closer, and after seeing it clearly, that it was the ingot that came out.

"Scare me!" Lu Lu let out a long sigh of relief.

Also know to pick up the owner, good dog!
It's just that it doesn't make any noise, which is a bit creepy.

Yuan Bao ran to Lu Lu's side, wagging his tail and circled around him, and then followed him silently, following the limping Lu Lu back to the cellar until Lu Lu got into the house. I just returned to the dog shed that Lu Lu simply built next to the cellar a few days ago.

The three puppies who were wandering in the clearing followed.

The big stupid dog is cold-resistant, and it is fine in ice and snow, let alone spring. A sack is simply laid out in the dog shed, and a sack is made on the top to cover the rain and snow.

Going into the cellar, Lu Lu hurriedly lit the lantern.

The injured foot didn't feel good at the beginning, but after taking off the shoes, he found that the socks were soaked in a large area with blood from the feet, and the inside of the shoes were sticky, and the wound was burning hot, feeling more and more painful , Fortunately, the bleeding has stopped.

Wash the blood from the wound, grind it into fine flour with oxytetracycline, apply it on the wound, and find a pair of clean socks to put it on.

Boiled corn noodles for Yuan Bao, and he lay down early.

When he woke up the next morning, Lu Lu looked at his feet and found sadly that his feet were swollen and rough, he couldn't even put on his shoes, and it hurt when he touched the ground.

Well, now I can't even go up the mountain.

But one cannot be idle, the more idle the more lazy, and, here, he is alone, he has to find something to do, otherwise it will be boring.

After much deliberation, Lu Lu decided to build several beehives to prepare for harvesting the swarm of Northeast black bees and the bees he will encounter later.

In this deep mountain and old forest, there are many big trees, and the most indispensable thing is wood. There is no need to remove the boards, just take out the logs.

There are linden trees and birch trees on the hillside behind the cellar, which are good materials for making beehives.

Lu Lu struggled to get halfway up, chose a straight birch tree that could not be hugged by one person, sat on the ground, and cut a big horse mouth on the downhill where the roots of the tree were wiped.

Then go to a slightly higher place on the back and cut with a saw.

In the past, on the farm, before winter, we had to go to the mountains to cut wood to prepare firewood for the winter, which is also called wood chopping, and we often cut down pine trees or birch trees.

He has also participated in logging in forest farms, and has some experience in this regard.

The current method is to make the birch tree fall along the hillside, which is called Shunshandao. When the tree falls, the loggers usually shout loudly: "Shunshandao!"

It has the function of reminding others that trees fall and pay attention to avoiding them.

Lu Lu's foot was injured and he couldn't use it. It took a lot of effort to saw half of the wood.

The birch tree was too big and too straight, and after cutting it to this extent, it still didn't move at all. The saw was squeezed by gravity, and it was gradually clamped and couldn't be pulled. He had no choice but to take a big axe, cut down a small tree, and repaired it into a wedge. , Knock in through the gap sawed, and within a few clicks, I heard the sharp creaking sound of the tree breaking, leaning towards the downhill.

He hurriedly jumped aside and shouted loudly: "Shunshan is down!"

This sound is necessary, and it is also commonly known as the logging rule.

It's not that there is no need to shout when there is no one around, because people are always careless, and sometimes, people who don't know the situation suddenly break in.

Logging sounds simple, but it is actually an extremely dangerous thing. If such a thick tree falls down, it may be fatal if you rub it casually.

Following Lu Lu's shout, the big tree continued to accelerate and fell down the hillside with a terrifying force.

The branches and leaves of the surrounding trees affected by the birch trees were broken, and a smaller birch tree in front, with a thick branch, was taken away, and half of it was torn apart.

Lu Lu didn't care about it, the fallen ones were all firewood for the winter, so he let them dry on the hillside, and when his feet recovered, he would split the petals again when he had time.

Birch is good at this point, the trunk is straight, and only the middle and upper branches will have more branches.

And what Lu Lu wanted to use to make beehives happened to be the middle and lower parts.

Next, just saw the trunk into [-]cm sections and roll them down the hill.

The Northeast black bee colony has always been strong, and only a strong colony can be more conducive to heat preservation and overwintering. Therefore, the space inside the beehive requires good airtightness, and the thick wood also has the effect of heat preservation.

Lu Lu had seen live frame beehives used in professional breeding in later generations, and knew the method of soil cultivation, so he changed his mind and planned to combine the two methods.

It took a whole morning to saw out six birch sections, and he rolled them along the hillside to the open space in front of the cellar, ready to be sawed into two halves of different sizes.

The larger half is hollowed out into an inverted semi-cylindrical space to make a beehive, and the smaller half is used as a cover.

There is a groove for placing wood chips on the upper mouth of the beehive. The wood chips are about three centimeters, coated with beeswax, which guides the bees to build a comb along the wood chips. If necessary, the wood chips can be lifted out for inspection or Manual bee separation can also facilitate the control of bee colonies.

The key point is that in such a space, the honeycombs made by bees are much smaller than the nest foundation of the living frame, but the number of honeycombs is increased, which is more conducive to the formation of a whole honeycomb. Bees are less affected.

It has the meaning of soil cultivation and the convenience of live frame cultivation. Lu Lu is very satisfied with this design.

I found a thin wire and a ruler, used the black ash at the bottom of the pot and added water to make ink, and saw and dug with the wire.

When making donuts, wooden bowls, and wooden ladles, the tools were already assembled, and they were convenient for use at this time. Even so, he still tossed and tossed for three days before he completed the three beehive barrels, which he connected with mountain vines. The lids were tied up and left to dry on the ground.

This kind of binding is to avoid cracking of the beehive and deformation of the lid, which no longer fits tightly.

The beehive was made, but Lu Lu's foot not only didn't get better, it even started to fester.

He knew in his heart that he couldn't procrastinate any longer, he had to treat it quickly!
