Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Chapter 425 425 The bees have arrived
Keeping bees doesn’t mean buying a beehive and putting it there.

Before the bees came back, Lin He did some homework in this area and even tidied up the chosen place himself.

The weeds on the ground were cleared, and then together with Li Changhui, they built a shed together.

The place where bees are kept is not far away, on the mountain behind their house. Not only can they collect nectar in the fields, but they can also search for food in the forest.

Not only that, Lin He also cleaned up all the wasp nests nearby. The largest one was as big as a washbasin, and the smallest one had just begun to build a nest, just a little bit as big as a thumb.

Wasps eat meat, and bees are also on their diet. Only when they are cleaned up can their bees live better.

Xie Jiang lived up to expectations. When Lin He finally finished the place to keep bees, Xie Jiang said he had bought several boxes of bees.

This bee was also replaced by another beekeeper. When the bees multiply, they will automatically form new families, and the beekeeper will make new beehives for them to live in.

However, because the surrounding nectar is limited, you cannot breed too many bees. If there are too many, bees will starve to death. Generally, beekeepers will clear out some of the bees in such cases.

Or, just give up on some of the bees.

After all, not everyone has the courage, or is able to raise bees well. Lin He was lucky. He happened to meet someone selling it. If it had been a few days later, he wouldn't have been able to get it.

Xie Jiang's men quickly pulled several large boxes over. The outside of the carriage was also covered with a thick layer of oilcloth. As soon as you got closer, you could hear the buzzing sound inside.

I'm afraid there are thousands of bees flying around inside.

An old man followed and bowed slightly when he saw Lin He and Li Changhui; "Are you Mr. Li and Mrs. Li? The old man's surname is Wang, and he is here to help place these bees."

It turned out to be the seller. Lin He said quickly: "It turns out to be Uncle Wang. I'm really sorry to trouble you. It's our first time raising bees. Although we have done a lot of homework, we now feel that it is not enough."

Not to mention anything else, just hearing the buzzing sound in the carriage and thinking of thousands of bees crowded together made me feel a little numb.

Uncle Wang probably understood what Lin He meant, and explained: "Mrs. Li, the old man has been keeping bees for decades, and my son has also learned from me for several years. In the future, you can directly ask us for help when collecting honey."

The driver quickly stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Li, we have sold a lot of bees at home. Many people are afraid to collect honey, so they ask us for help."

Unexpectedly, it was actually a father and son.

"That's great. I'm also worried that I just started raising honey, and there's still a lot I don't understand."

Sure enough, I was still too impulsive. All the knowledge I had collected about keeping bees was just on paper.

Fortunately, the father and son provide after-sales service. If they don’t dare to collect honey or move beehives in the future, they should have no problem finding these two people.Xiao Wang took a few more pages from his arms and handed them over with both hands.

"Mrs. Li, these are some beekeeping precautions written by my father and I. Please take a moment to read them. If it's not troublesome, let's put the beehives where we want to raise bees."

Lin He took it in surprise: "There is one more. I'm interested. I'll keep this for a while. I'll take you to the place where the beehives are placed. The bees have been stuck in the carriage for a long time, so they probably won't do well."

The carriage was not completely sealed, and just for a moment, several bees escaped from the cracks.

But the carriage is still too small after all, and there are obviously a lot of bees inside. The five boxes are so small, so they have to be kept closed for fear of a large number of deaths.

Then Lin He and Li Changhui led the way and led them to the foot of the mountain. The carriage could not get on.

Uncle Wang asked the two of them to stand farther away, took a package of things from behind, and then opened the oilcloth outside the carriage.

In an instant, a large number of bees swarmed out, and if Uncle Wang hadn't been able to hide quickly, they would have all swooped on him.

Then the father and son opened the things they carried with them, and it turned out that they were two particularly large bamboo hats, covered with translucent gauze. They had been used for a long time and had turned yellow.

Gauze covered them from head to toe, and then put on thick gloves. At this time, Li Changhui had already pulled Lin He back to a place 30 meters away.

"You wait for me here and I will lead them."

Under normal circumstances, Lin He handles matters at home, and Li Changhui just watches from the side. This time, he is really worried. There are so many bees, what if he gets stung?
Even though he knew that nothing would happen to Lin He.

"It's okay, let's go together. You see the bees have calmed down. They probably stayed in the carriage for a long time and didn't have enough air, so they swarmed out."

Indeed, while the father and son were putting on their equipment, most of the bees that came out had already returned to the carriage and were crawling around the beehives.

In this case, Li Changhui didn't force it, but when going up the mountain, he still held Lin He tightly and paid attention to his surroundings.

Fortunately, the bees kept following the beehives. The Wang family and his son were probably afraid of stinging them, so they were four to five feet behind each holding a beehive.

The place where bees are kept is not far away and they arrived quickly. Uncle Wang was very satisfied and happy when he saw this place.

There is a big tree next to it, and there is a specially built straw shed under the tree, which is very large and spacious.

The ground is very clean, the surrounding area is dry, and there is a large field of wild chrysanthemums nearby. At least from what we can see so far, it is indeed very suitable for bees to make their home.
