Chapter 40: 40 placement beehives

Chapter 40 40. Place beehives

Back home, Song Sancheng started a new round of busyness.

His memory is not as good as when he was young. To be sure, he can only hold his mobile phone and listen to the beekeeper's instructions over and over before starting to prepare things.

Song Youde heard that his granddaughter wanted to keep bees, so he hurried over to take a look after lunch. When I saw Song Sancheng still cutting asbestos tiles there, I couldn't help but feel disgusted:

"Look at you, how are you so busy doing something? You can't put this beehive in place first!"

Song Tan knew as soon as she heard this that her grandfather was also an amateur giving blind orders.

Sure enough, Song Sancheng hummed while working and said: "Dad, please don't cause trouble. The beekeeper said that there needs to be a rainproof board on top of this beehive. I will cut the entire asbestos tile." Just cover them."

Song Youde made a mistake in command and was a little embarrassed:

“You only know how to keep bees! I also kept them before, and the bottom of this box has to be padded, it’s ten to twenty centimeters high!”

This time he was not lying. The bottom of the beehive really needs to be padded, firstly to prevent insects and moisture, and secondly for ventilation.

Song Tan also smiled: "Grandpa, you have so much experience!"

“They have also done anti-ant treatment on the box. We plan to place this beehive outside the yard, next to the back hill.”

“But I heard that the beehives have to be placed in steps up and down, and they need to be shaded - why don’t you help me find out which place is more suitable?”

This is the case with medium bees, which have poor ability to recognize the nest.

So the beehives must not only be placed in a ladder shape from top to bottom, but the distance between each beehive must be almost five meters. The mouth of the beehive should be facing south, but the direction of each box should be different...

Song Tan used to see people keeping bees in rows and rows of boxes, and thought they were just placed randomly.

Now it seems that he really has a way to do anything.

Song Youde was assigned a job and felt that his personal value had been further reflected. He was smoking a cigarette and wandering around the yard.

Song Sancheng glanced at his daughter and thought that the child's mouth looked a bit like her mother's.

The child’s mother, Ulan, found a few shallow plates, melted some sugar water and brought them out:

"Let them eat for two days first. I see that some of the milkvetch in the field are already opening buds. They will bloom in a few days, and then we can collect honey."

But even though she said that, she didn't move.

After all, there were several buzzing groups of bees surrounding me, which still made people feel a little scared.

Song Tan didn't care, and simply took the plate over, with traces of spiritual energy seeping into it.

As soon as it was placed, the bees couldn't wait to surround it. Seeing the posture, Song Sancheng muttered again:

“Why are you so hungry?”

Song Tan had a thought in her mind - the attraction of spiritual energy was so great, she would have to practice her insect repelling skills first, otherwise her money would be wasted if a few wasps came randomly.

Well, these are just simple spells. If you have enough aura, let’s start tonight!

And Qiaoqiao held the box in her hand, watching Song Sancheng work in a rare and obedient manner.

When the asbestos tiles were all cut, he raised his head and asked, "Dad, where are mine? Where is my little bear?"

“What’s your little bear?”

Song Sancheng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what a feat it was. This bumblebee even had a name!

“You want to ask about your little bear’s rain shield?”

Qiaoqiao nodded, his eyes already roving back and forth on the ground, seeming to choose which one is more suitable.

Song Sancheng laughed and pointed to the utility shed in the yard:

“Whether your bumble bee can be placed together with our bees is another matter! Since you are keeping it for fun, you might as well put it in the corner of the shed.”

“It’s sheltered from the wind and rain, and there are few bugs, so it’s still safe.”

It was only then that he looked over pitifully: "Sister, I want to open the box and take a look."

Song Tan thought for a while, prepared some more sugar water, also melted the spiritual energy into it, and then opened the box.

I saw the queen bee’s chubby body taking off uncontrollably, then she plunged into the dish and started sucking it impatiently!

Poor thing, he's probably very hungry and waiting to store energy to lay eggs!

Its round buttocks are stuck out high, and its black and yellow plush stripes are clear and bright. The **** is big, round, hairy, and quivering, and it makes people want to touch it.

Qiao Qiao stretched out her finger again, but Song Tan looked at him:

“Your hand doesn’t hurt anymore?”

He immediately took his hand back in embarrassment.

Song Tan looked left and right, and finally placed the box in a higher place:

“Don’t move.”

Bumblebees can dig holes. Let’s wait until the worker bees hatch and the population increases to see how we can arrange it.

In any case, we don’t expect them to make any money, so just think of finding a hobby for Qiaoqiao.

Um…

She recalled the feeling of that furry and chubby thing, and when Qiaoqiao turned her head, she quickly opened the box and touched it hard!

On the plate, the bumblebee was almost knocked directly into the sugar water by this touch. At this moment, it stretched and retracted the spikes that had not touched anything. Finally, it moved its buttocks and buried its head in to **** hard.

By this time, Dr. Zhang Yuan from Ning Province had once again become well-known in the hospital!

Not to mention the leaders of the hospital, even the patients came to inquire:

"Dr. Zhang, everyone said that the vegetable porridge you had for lunch was the vegetable you bought - what vegetable? Where did you buy it? How much does it cost per pound? Can we, a sick person, eat it?"

Dr. Xiao Zhang almost shed tears of grievance, excitement and disbelief——

The thing is this.

These vegetables cost just ten kilograms for two hundred yuan, and that doesn’t include postage!

The results were received, and I had just unpacked them when the chef from the canteen walked over first:

“Doctor Zhang, are you bringing food to you again?”

Zhang Yuan quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I bought it with my own money. It costs twenty yuan per catty."

After experiencing the iron-blooded lesson from the head nurse last time, he decided to have a new idea - dedicate these dishes to his respected leader!

However, after hesitating for a long time, he still didn’t understand why he opened his mouth. He saw that the chef was already holding the dishes, smelling and looking at them:

"Dr. Zhang, I heard that you haven't had a partner yet, right? Are you living in a dormitory? Oh, this single guy just can't do it. You see, there is no recipe for buying groceries. How can you buy so much at once? You can't finish it. It’s all a waste!”

 Doctor Zhang’s face turned red. You can’t say that I planned to give it to the leader, right?

He didn’t say anything, and the chef made arrangements first:

“I heard that the Provincial Committee is here today. Your shepherd’s purse is very good. Why don’t I use it to make some dumplings?”

“This watercress is not bad, the stew will definitely be delicious.”

“Oh, this wild onion is so good! It’s so fragrant, I’ll stir-fry the beef!”

“This little malan head... is too small to make a weird dish, otherwise I’ll make you a pot of vegetable porridge at noon.”

I didn’t know how to farm originally, but now I seem to have rich theoretical knowledge about beekeeping. (Writing a novel is not easy!)

Asbestos tile: a simple waterproof material commonly used in rural areas for roofs. It is cheap and lightweight.

Finally, there will be more in the afternoon.
