Chapter 285 The Secret of the Wardrobe

The rotten wardrobe seemed to be the main battlefield where two kinds of bees fought. He stood not far away and looked at it for a few minutes, but he couldn't see anything unique about the wardrobe.

Regardless of the size of the Scolia, the organization discipline is much worse than that of the small bees. Basically, those small bees are besieged and bit by two or three together, and they rarely fight one-on-one with the Scolia.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten bees were killed.Liu Junhao looked very distressed, and hurriedly danced the bamboo pole again to beat.

The bees near the closet were obviously fighting more fiercely than those in Professor Zhao's courtyard. They seemed to have gone crazy, entangled in groups.Just as Liu Junhao drove them away with a bamboo pole, these guys started fighting in the air again, and within 2 minutes they landed near the closet again.

Seeing that several times in a row, there was no effect, Liu Junhao turned his attention to the rotten wardrobe.It was only after he observed closely that there was an abnormality in the closet. Bees kept coming in and out of the big holes bitten by mice.

Could it be... With a thought in his heart, he stepped forward and slammed open the door of the closet, and a faint strange fragrance came to his nostrils.

"Hum..." A large group of bees rushed towards him with their wings blown.

Liu Junhao hurriedly waved his arms to drive away those bees.Only then did he notice the situation in front of him: four three-foot-long honeycombs that looked like stalactites were hanging down from the top of the cabinet, and densely packed bees were crawling on each honeycomb.Look at that, there are probably thousands of them on one.At the bottom of the closet, there are still many bee corpses.

He and Zhang Qian were really belated. They didn't even know when the bees made honeycombs in the closet.Looking at this head, I'm afraid it's just in the beginning of spring.No wonder there are more and more bees in the yard during this period. It turns out that they also set up their homes in the backyard.

It should be said that Liu Junhao came to the backyard almost every day, but he really didn't pay attention to it.The main reason is that this place is close to the corner, and he usually wouldn't turn around if he had nothing to do.

As for the origin of this swarm of bees, he guessed a lot.Somewhere the bee colony must have exploded, and the queen bee led a large swarm of bees to escape.As for their choice to make their home in the backyard, I am afraid that they are attracted by the spring water just like the Scolia.

Seeing the bees kept falling on him, Liu Junhao realized that now is not the time to trace the source, the important thing is to put these guys down.

He closed the cabinet door, then gritted his teeth, put the half-person-high wardrobe on his shoulders and ran.Behind him, a swarm of bees buzzed in pursuit.

"Xiaohao, what are you doing..." Professor Zhao was afraid of being stung by a bee, so he didn't go into the backyard at all, so he didn't know what happened in the yard.Seeing Liu Junhao rushing out with a large wardrobe on his shoulders, he was taken aback for a moment, but when he saw the swarm of exploded bees behind him, he hurriedly stepped aside.

Liu Junhao breathed a sigh of relief until he carried the wardrobe in Professor Zhao's courtyard.Fortunately, those bumblebees didn't come after them!
Seeing that the bee colony gradually returned to calm, Professor Zhao walked back to his courtyard with lingering fear.

"What's the matter with this wardrobe?" he asked, watching the bees coming and going from the wardrobe.

"I don't know when a honeycomb was built inside. It has been peaceful before, but I don't know what happened today, and suddenly started fighting," Liu Junhao explained.

After searching online, they found out the reason.

Feelings are really the reason for the shortage of nectar. Now is the season for bees to hatch. The young bees will grow up soon, and the collected pollen and nectar are not enough to eat, so a big war broke out.

There are many similar situations on the Internet.

With the end of the battle, the bees gradually stabilized. Some flew out to collect honey as usual, while others drilled in and out of the small holes in an orderly manner, without any abnormality.

Looking at the clusters of dead bumblebees around the courtyard wall, Liu Junhao felt distressed.He made a rough count, and found that one or two thousand scumblers died in the war, and of course the number of bees lost was not small.

"Xiaohao, is this honey edible?" Professor Zhao looked at the honeycomb in the cabinet, but he thought about eating honey.

"This...is just right" Liu Junhao was also moved after hearing what he said.As far as the cover of the honeycomb is concerned, it is estimated that seven or eight taels of honey can be harvested from one honeycomb.Four honeycombs, roughly estimated to be able to harvest more than three catties, worth 200 yuan.

Of course, this honey is not for sale, and the two families will share it after harvesting.

Seeing that Liu Junhao took an iron hook to hook the hive, Professor Zhao hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Take off the hive, otherwise how will you harvest honey?" He felt that the old man's question was strange.

"No... What will you do after you pick the hive? Can you take out the honey without removing the old nest?"

"This...it seems impossible, what if someone gets stung?" Liu Junhao scratched his head and replied.In the past, when they saw wild bee hives on the mountain, they would light a fire to drive away the bee swarms, then knock down the hives, and then cut the honey when they got home.

"I used to see that people cut honey directly on the honeycomb with bare hands... It seems that bees don't sting." Professor Zhao looked at the buzzing bees and said with some uncertainty.

"Barehands?" Liu Junhao said that he didn't dare to move forward. If he really put his hand into the closet, he would probably turn into braised fat pig's trotters later.

"Why don't you check online and ask on the forum to see if anyone understands?" At the end of the discussion, both of them felt that taking honey with bare hands was too risky, so they should check online to see how others did it.

Afraid that a single text would not have much influence, Liu Junhao took a camera and took a dozen photos to cooperate.

As soon as this post was posted on the forum, the follow-up posts rushed to the second page.There are still many idlers on the Internet, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.But so far, apart from envying his good luck, netizens have not given a feasible suggestion at all, but there are many people who propose to buy honey.

Liu Junhao waited for nearly half an hour, but when he saw that no one came forward to speak out, he prepared to close the webpage.As a result, I just refreshed it, but found that there was an extra short message.When I opened it, it turned out that it was someone who wanted to buy bees.

This buddy...he couldn't help but smile, I just want to cut some honey, okay?But since he wanted to buy bees, he must know something about it, so he quickly responded by sending a message and asking him to chat on QQ.

As soon as we chatted, Liu Junhao made a statement, saying that his box of bees was not for sale.He was mainly afraid that the man would misunderstand and think that he had lied to him.

The netizen didn't say anything, he just said that the business is not benevolent, and then explained the steps of cutting honey in detail.

It's really unarmed... Liu Junhao was startled when he saw the photo sent by this buddy.They stood directly beside the honeycomb, cut off the honey little by little with their hands, and lit a cigarette without even lighting a torch.Seeing the bees crawling up one hand densely, Liu Junhao looked a little frightened, and could only think that the buddy was a strong man.

Why doesn't this thing bite?After listening to other people's explanations, he realized that as long as you don't make much movement, generally bees will not sting.

Although the tone of this buddy's words is very flat, just let him get started.But Liu Junhao felt that this matter was too mysterious, he thought it over and over again, and finally decided to start a fire before talking about it.

Looking at the steps in the photo, it seemed that there was nothing complicated. He finally gave up and asked Professor Zhao to light a fire with wet wood.

No sooner had the torch been on the honeycomb for a minute than the bees buzzed and flew out randomly, and many of them hid behind it.

Seeing the bees flying away, Liu Junhao hurried to the closet with a knife in his hand.When the hand touched the beeswax, it was sticky, as if touching raw lard.As the knife slid, the layer of golden honey and beeswax were all cut off.

"Hiss..." Liu Junhao's hand suddenly stiffened.At some point, a dozen or so bees had already landed on the back of his hand.Fortunately, as described by the buddy on the Internet, the bees just crawled back and forth, and it seemed that they were not planning to sting him, a honey thief.

He carefully blocked the arm with the knife a few times to drive the honey away.Several times in a row, the honey in the wardrobe was emptied.Seven or eight pieces of honey were also placed in the basin. Many bees smelled the sweetness and landed on the basin one after another.

For a short time, the two of them were busy with honey.When the work was done, Liu Junhao deliberately weighed it with his hands, and it weighed less than four catties.

According to the plan in advance, Professor Zhao kept half of the collected honey, and he kept the rest for making tea.As for this nest of bees, naturally they can't move them back to the yard.Otherwise, if there is a fuss later, the loss will be all your own.

After thinking about it, he decided to put the wardrobe in Professor Zhao's courtyard.Stay away from the Scolia, and the two hives should stop fighting.

"Xiaohao, I heard that a swarm of wild bees has been recruited in your yard. The honey is gone, get me some?" I originally planned to surprise my wife at noon. It's here.

"I said Fifth Master, your news is too well-informed, it just happened." Liu Junhao asked very puzzled, it seems that he didn't tell the villagers.

"I also heard from others. Didn't you post that plaster post on the Internet or something? Someone saw it and called our tourists to order some honey. I figured it would be better to do it first." He seemed to explain.

This... no wonder people often talk about the global village.But hearing Liu Wuye say this, he just wanted to laugh: "Plaster post", the emotional old man thought that posting online was a plaster.

"By the way, have you cut the honey? If not, I'll come in person. I'm a veteran of this thing." After chatting for a while, Mr. Liu Wu started to talk about the topic.

"Just finished picking," he replied helplessly.

Although he really wanted to keep more honey, Liu Junhao couldn't bear the pressure of Liu Wuye with his elders. In the end, he had to give the old man a catty.
