Wizarding World Beekeeper

Chapter 11 New Bee Species

Hua Mi used his mind to control a group of Forest Swift Bees to follow him. After a while, he felt that his attention was a little distracted and it was difficult to concentrate.

My brain felt as if it had been broken after two hours of high-level math problems, and my control over the swarm had declined.

The intuitive manifestation is that the swarm gradually becomes chaotic and no longer moves forward in a disciplined manner like a march. He has to stop and rectify from time to time.

"I'm not focused enough...continuously controlling the swarm is still very energy-consuming."

Before this, he had only given some simple instructions to the bee swarm, so it was not very obvious.This time, it took a long time, especially the fight between the control bee swarm and the wild monster just now, which consumed a lot of energy.

"It was a mistake. It seems that there are many difficulties to be solved in order to realize my plan of farming and beekeeping in another world."

Whether you are going out to find new honey sources, cultivating new bee species, or building a greenhouse, it is not as simple as just talking.

It was only then that he truly realized what it meant that everything was difficult at the beginning.

When he first entered the beekeeping industry, he directly inherited his grandfather's business, and all the channels were ready-made, so he did not experience the stage of accumulation from scratch.

Looking around today, there are problems that need to be solved everywhere.

Heady.

"It's not on track at all right now."

In view of his increasingly scarce energy, Hua Mi thought of a way to let the swarm lie on his backpack and wait. The survival backpack instantly became a secret weapon.

The reason for this is because compared to following, this command is relatively simple and requires less energy to maintain.

"I'm so smart."

Hua Mi proudly affirmed herself.

However, he felt that he had exhausted too much energy. Although he could continue to explore, considering that he still had to leave some room to return, turning around in time seemed to be a wiser choice.

Once he loses energy and loses control of the swarm, he may lose the swarm.

It would be nice if we could find nectar flowers or other valuable things earlier, but the probability is relatively low. It is not a good deal to risk losing an entire bee colony for an exploration that has a high probability of yielding nothing.

"Don't be too anxious in the early stage. It's better to be steady and take your time. Besides, there are still bees to take care of at home, so I won't worry if I leave for too long."

Let’s explore the area ahead later.

In the following Water Moon and Ice Age, it's really not a big deal if there is no nectar source. After working hard for more than half a month, why don't we give the bees a rest.

Only by combining work and rest can you live longer, and living longer can create more value.

He can take advantage of the honey-gathering window to focus on cultivating new bee species and preparing for the construction of a greenhouse.

Moreover, there is so much honey flowing in that sea of ​​moon-sleeping flowers.

According to his observations, if this momentum continues, his more than 30 bee colonies are conservatively estimated to eventually produce 500 bottles (based on a net weight of 500g per bottle) of dormant flower honey.

It was enough for him to sell for a while.

In this way, due to lack of experience for the first time, Hua Mi only walked three or four miles in one direction, so she chose to retreat bravely and resolutely turned around and went home.

Finally managed to return to the cabin alive.

But the energy consumption was too much, so I fell asleep.

I slept until dark and woke up with a slight sense of emptiness. I stared at the simple and plain ceiling of the wooden house and thought about life for a while.

Empty and lonely and cold.

"Although I didn't accomplish anything today, I still worked hard for myself."

Hua Mi sighed, got up and took a few mouthfuls of honey to replenish energy. Seeing that it was getting dark and the bees had returned to their nests, they went outside to move the beehives back into the house.

Soon, forty beehives filled the cabin to the brim.

Two of the beehives are specially placed at the front.

It's full of bees doing mutation experiments.

Counting the time, it's almost time to break out of the cocoon.

"Come on, let me see your potential."

With so many experimental bees, he didn't believe that he was so weak that he didn't even have a single successful individual.after a while……

"Damn! There really is only one!"

Hua Mi couldn't help but curse.

To be honest, it's a bit defensive.

Out of more than 6000 bees, only one has evolved beneficial traits. This probability is indeed too high.

Others are either dead or disabled, and a small number have no obvious attribute changes. They are undoubtedly cases of evolutionary failure.

"Is my face too dark, or is the mutagen itself just urinary?"

Hua Mi is a little doubtful about life, which is called depression.

The only successful bee has evolved a rather miraculous ability.

To put it simply, it can harden body parts.

Let’s just say it’s magical. It’s indeed magical.

But to say it's useful, it doesn't seem to be of much use.

This trait does not help the efficiency of honey harvesting at all, but actually slows down the speed.

When it comes to combat effectiveness, the improvement doesn't seem to be very obvious.

After a simple test, the hardness of the hardened parts is really not low.The hardened appearance looks like crystallization, and the pincers can be easily penetrated into the hardwood of the cabin.

However, due to the limitation of the size of the pincer, no matter how hard it is, it is just that, and it is not a big killer.

Moreover, after the whole body becomes hardened, the ability to move will be greatly reduced.

It is worth mentioning that the stingers of this new bee species will not fall off after being stung like ordinary bees. They can harden the body and their ability to withstand harsh environments should also be enhanced. From this perspective, the survival rate of bees has improved. will improve.

"And if a group of them are cultivated and all of them are hardened and blocked in front of them, it will be equivalent to a shield. It should be able to withstand ordinary attacks... With the pincers pointing outward, it will be a shield of thorns, and it will also cause damage."

Hua Mi further diverged his thinking, and if the number of bees was large enough, he could even directly harden the bees and cover him with the armor, and the armor would fit together on the spot.

Of course, that scene may seem a bit bizarre...

If you think about it this way, it is still somewhat useful.

Although his ability to collect honey has not been increased, it can improve his sense of security when moving around in this world.

In the final analysis, it is because only such a beneficial trait was born in a large group of bees, a single seedling, even if it is crying, it is said to be useful.

Its ability is to harden, so let's call it "Iron Armored Bee".

"To me, harvesting bees and fighting bees are equally important. One ensures production and the other saves life... When evaluating bee species, in addition to the three attributes of lifespan, reproductive capacity and productivity, perhaps combat effectiveness should also be added."

Combat power generally considers attributes such as attack, defense, and speed. You can refer to the game.

He hasn't thought about the specifics yet, and plans to go back later to plan carefully and record this new bee species in his notes.

"Let's make a copy first."

Hua Mi copied the template of the Armored Bee.

By the way, we also need to deal with those bees that failed to evolve.

The work is too important to allow for mistakes that could contaminate the gene pool.

The treatment method is very simple. After humane destruction, they are all thrown into the flower fields to fertilize the fields.Bees are not heartless creatures, they turn into spring mud to protect flowers.

As for the small number of bees that have not changed significantly, they are reorganized and dispersed to various bee colonies, so that they can once again engage in happy production work.

"Wait, this bee..."

When assigned to one of the bees, Hua Mi sensed something unusual.

After a more in-depth and detailed inspection, I found that this one had also evolved new traits, but the external manifestations were not obvious, so I had not discovered them before.
