Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 54

Although the smell of burning moxa is strong, bees are naturally protective of the nest and cannot be completely driven out immediately, it will take a certain amount of time.

After a long winter, the spring with flowers and plants is finally here. It is the time when the honey storage is insufficient and it is vigorously multiplying. Coupled with the stimulation of smoke, the bees at this time are very easy to be irritated.

Seeing the green smoke coming out from the exit, more and more black bees flying out, and the area getting bigger and bigger, Lu Lu tactfully retreated to a further place to observe.

At this time, if you stay in the range of the bee colony, you will be easily stung.

Their intensely stimulated stress response requires a little calm down.

After the black bees flew around for a few minutes, gradually, attracted by the honey smeared by Lu Lu on the straw pot lid, black bees began to fly down into the straw pot lid, sucking the honey on it hard.

When the hive is infested, they instinctively satiate themselves with honey and prepare to move.

As many black bees fall into the straw pot lid, they are the best at calling friends and friends, and they will soon attract more bees to gather together and form a group.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, seeing black bees continuously crawling out of the tree hole and entering the straw pot cover along the trunk, Lu Lu knew that it would not be long before the queen bee would be attracted by more and more black bees. Followed out of the nest.

Under the tree, he couldn't see the queen bee, and he could only tell whether the queen bee was there or not from the clump of the final bee colony.

Looking around, I saw that the sun was just right by the river beach, and there were a few scattered stones washed by the flowing water, which was a good place to soak up the sun.

It has been cold and cold for several days in a row, and it is also a very enjoyable thing to be able to bake in the sun and replenish calcium. Anyway, waiting is waiting.

However, when Lu Lu walked to the side of the biggest rock, he was about to sit down, but was attracted by a lump on another river beach rock next to him.

He walked over and squatted down to examine it carefully. It was a group of slender black-green feces smaller than a thumb, mixed with bone spurs of small fish, accompanied by a strong fishy smell, and the water was soaked on the stone. A small piece, very fresh.

"It should have been pulled not long ago, good stuff!"

When Lu Lu recognized this thing, his expression became surprised.

Because this is the feces of the water dog.

Water Gouzi is a common name for otters in Northeast China.

The water dog in the northeast is much bigger than other places.

He bought and sold mountain goods in his previous life, and he had a lot of contact with Shuigouzi, so he knew it well.

Water Gouzi has beautiful fur with dense undervelvet, fine touch, rich and uniform texture, and is not easy to be soaked by water.It is these characteristics that make its fur very expensive, not much worse than sable fur.

This is not over yet, otter liver is a precious medicinal material, even its meat can be used as medicine.The famous "Sari Masha" in Mongolian medicine is this meat.

Even this excrement is an excellent thing, because there are always some animals that like to look for food, such as red foxes, leopard cats, etc., which are natural bait.

There are fresh feces, which means that there are water dogs living by the nearby river.

If you get it, sell the bear bile and its fur, and you can easily buy a Type [-] or [-] semi-automatic rifle without any pressure.

Lu Lu's heart suddenly became hot.

He really hoped that he could get a gun as soon as possible, it was very useful for hunting and self-defense.

His eyes scanned the surroundings for a while. At the bottom of the river, at the bend where Chen Xiuqing was photographed by Xiong Xiazi, Lu Lu saw the rippling water waves in the slightly gentle current from a distance. There, a water dog was floating on the water surface, He was holding a fish with his short legs and chewing on it.

Seduce me!
Lu Lu stared at it with fixed eyes. Its body measures [-] centimeters, which is really big, and its fur is even more beautiful.

However, he also knew very well that the slingshot in his hand was of no use to it at all.

But don't underestimate the water dog. It is like a fish in water, and it is not bad on land. Don't look at the short legs, it is quite agile, and with sharp claws and teeth, it dares to be bigger than it when it is attacked. Many animals are confrontational and have fierce personalities.

Lu Lu once heard that some people led dogs to besiege, several dogs surrounded a water dog, and there were records of hunting dogs being bitten back to death.

The better the fur, the higher the price, and it would be a loss if it was broken a little bit, and it can't be used with a gun, and it can't be bitten by Yuan Bao.

It can only be outsmarted.

The best way to catch water dogs is to use wooden clips that don't hurt the fur.

He calmed down a little, and his eyes fell on the excrement on the stone again. After turning around for a while, he found a few traces of water dog's excrement, and then saw a cave under a dead wood pile a few meters away. There are also dense claw marks left by frequent walking on the wet mud.

Lu Lu immediately became concerned, and couldn't help laughing: "You are mine now... well, I have to go to Qingzi tomorrow, ask if there are any wooden clips, and borrow some!"

It was a great surprise for Lu Lu to meet Shuigouzi by the river in this forest.

Usually on the banks of larger rivers, the number will be a little bit more. There are also rivers in this kind of mountains, but the number is very small. The main reason is that in recent years, a lot of them have been hunted to earn foreign exchange through exporting fur.In this water area, it can be regarded as a top predator, which is very rare.

Resisting the excitement in his heart, Lu Lu returned to the linden tree where the beehive was, and saw that a large group of black bees had gathered in the lid of the straw pot. It looked like it weighed three to four kilograms, and black bees kept coming from it. Climb out of the hive and join the colony.

During the winter, many black bees died. In the wild, to have such a swarm now is already considered very large.

The black bees have almost come out, and judging by the way they gather, the queen bee should have come out as well.

Lu Lu took off the rope from the small tree beside him, slowly lowered the lid of the straw pot covered with a large group of black bees, and hung it on the branch of a small tree two meters away.

On the lid of the straw pot, black bees kept vibrating their wings to attract other bees to gather. Although they changed positions, some black bees came to find them soon.

He squatted in front of the bee colony and watched for a while, and sure enough, he saw a slightly flustered, strong queen bee, who was half the size of ordinary worker bees, crawled on the surface of the bee colony for a while, and then found a place to get into the bee colony.

Seeing the queen bee, Lu Lu was overjoyed, knowing that this group of black bees had been collected successfully.

Afterwards, he climbed up the tree again, and with a clean cutting knife, he cut off the honeycombs in the hive piece by piece, and put them in the snakeskin pocket on his body.

To Lu Lu's surprise, after a whole winter, there were still two complete pieces of sealed old honey inside, which seemed to weigh four to five catties.

This is a good thing!
In addition, there are many old honeycombs that have begun to turn black and yellow in the tree hole, and Lu Lu did not let them go.

He took all the honeycombs from the hive and put them in a bag under the tree. After thinking about it, he found a similar stone on the ground and blocked the hole where the bees came in and out.Only a thumb-sized hole remains.

When the bees are separated, this is a natural tree hole to lure bees.

Although there are not many bee colonies in this mountain, there is still a chance that there will be bee colonies. At that time, whether it is the northeast black bee or the middle bee, it will be a harvest.

After the work was done, Lu Lu saw that there were not many scattered bees gathered in the bee colony. Without delay, he stuck the big ax in his back, picked up the bee colony and honeycomb, and drove them briskly to his own cell.

As soon as he turned over to the mountain ridge behind the cellar, he heard Yuan Bao's barking from a distance, and couldn't help frowning.
