Chapter 29 Beekeeping
The good news is that now Yan Huang finally knows why ginseng fruit is not effective for this cold.Because Ye Ziqi's cold this time was a viral cold, she contracted the virus due to her body's weakened immunity due to overwork, and ginseng fruit can only expel the cold and anger in the body, and treatment from the level of traditional Chinese medicine is ineffective against viruses.

The bad news is that now Yan Huang is also infected.

However, his health is still a bit better than Ye Ziqi's, not to the extent of having a fever, but in just one day, the identities of the two have been reversed, which is somewhat embarrassing...

"Really, I told you not to kiss, it's contagious." Ye Ziqi looked at Yan Huang who was lying on the bed and said distressedly.

"It's worth it." Yan Huang was still talking hard, Ye Ziqi poked him in the face, pouted and muttered: "I know it's hard talking...can you take a day off today?"

"Why don't you rest, it's just a cold." Yan Huang wiped his nose and said, "Take medicine at night and sleep well."

"I hope..." Ye Ziqi looked at him worriedly and said, "Go to bed early tonight?"

"Shall I go to the living room to sleep tonight? So as not to infect you..." Yan Huang sighed.

"I don't! I can't sleep without holding you..." Ye Ziqi immediately said reluctantly.

"Then what if you get infected again? The two of us will fall into an infinite loop." Yan Huang frowned and asked, Ye Ziqi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "No, I'm already cured, and now I have immunity!"

He couldn't hold back Ye Ziqi, and in the end he slept with Ye Ziqi.

However, it is really hard to catch a cold, especially in this kind of big summer. It is uncomfortably hot without the air conditioner, and I have to sneeze after the air conditioner is turned on. I have to go back and forth between the hot and cold hells.But under the hypnosis of the cold medicine, Yan Huang finally fell into a drowsy sleep.

It was not until the next morning that Yan Huang was woken up by Ye Ziqi, and the little girl brought the food in front of him.

"Honey, is your cold better?" Ye Ziqi squatted down in front of him, and asked with concern.

Yan Huang felt it for a while, except that his head was a little groggy and his nose was very clogged, but there were no other signs.

"It's okay." Yan Huang said, sitting up.

"Let me take a look." Ye Ziqi leaned in front of him and bent down to see the beautiful scenery on his chest. Then she put her lips on Yan Huang's forehead to feel it, and said with a smile: "Well, luckily I don't have a fever, I will take some medicine today Have a good rest day?"

"I'm going to pour the water first." Yan Huang struggled to stand up, but Ye Ziqi held him down and frowned, "No, at least wait until after dinner. You haven't replenished your energy, and those flowers and plants will too." I feel sorry for you, huh?"

After thinking about it, Yan Huang felt that it made sense, so he prepared to have breakfast first.

Looking at the food that Ye Ziqi brought to him, Yan Huang suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Compared with the simple porridge and fried vegetables he made yesterday, Ye Ziqi's cooking today is much more delicate.

Chicken porridge boiled in chicken soup, golden and juicy egg rolls, and a few small stir-fries with delicious flavors.

"Then, then I'll be impolite..." Yan Huang tried not to let himself care too much about this matter, and replied with an awkward smile.

Before he had finished his breakfast, however, a visitor came to the house.Today is the third day that the Queen Bee of Spirit Bee has built her nest here, so Su Wanqing is going to come here to check the situation.

Seeing the current situation of Yan Huang and Ye Ziqi, he naturally asked briefly.

"Have a cold? It's such a hot day? Big men are really worthless..." Su Wanqing gave Yan Huang a disgusted look, then opened her satchel, took out a small glass bottle and handed it to him, "Here, drink it Well, it will be better."

Yan Huang took the amber glass bottle, guessing that it should be honey, so he opened it and drank it without thinking too much.A refreshing... No, to be precise, it is a bitter taste that penetrates deep into the bone marrow from the tongue.Yan Huang never thought that the honey could be bitter, so he took a big gulp and almost died on the spot.

"Okay—bitter! What is this!? Isn't it honey?" Yan Huang quickly grabbed the water glass next to him and took a big sip of water.

"Honey made from some herbs, including celestial grass, although it is not specially used to treat colds, but it can relieve fatigue and enhance the body's immunity." Su Wanqing explained, "You should know that there are many celestial grasses that can also treat human beings. Herbal medicines that produce effects, such as Jinchuang medicine made from hemostatic grass. And after brewing into honey, the effect on ordinary people will be stronger."

Yan Huang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was indeed much more energetic. Although his nose was still stuffy, the feeling of fatigue and powerlessness disappeared, as if he had slept for a full twenty hours, and his body was full of strength.

"Wow, amazing...I didn't expect honey to have such uses." Yan Huang couldn't help sighing, and then squinted at Ye Ziqi who was beside him. The little girl shuddered and looked at him with some fear.Yan Huang smiled kindly, and handed over the honey in his hand: "Baby, you also caught a cold yesterday, come and drink some, to relieve fatigue and strengthen immunity."

"Don't drink, I'm already cured." Ye Ziqi shook her head and covered her mouth.

"Be good." Yan Huang gently persuaded, Ye Ziqi puffed up her cheeks: "Don't drink, I hate taking medicine..."

Before Yan Huang could continue to persuade her, she turned to Su Wanqing and changed the subject: "Well, Wanqing, how is the hive situation?"

Su Wanqing looked at the hive in the yard, pondered for a while and replied: "The hive is now complete, and the queen bee will start to produce offspring. But it will take about 20 days before there are enough bees to keep the hive running, so... artificial Speed ​​up the development of the hive."

With that said, Su Wanqing turned to Ye Ziqi and said with a smile, "Did you know? Spirit bees are a very special species. When there are worker bees and soldier bees who have lost their queen, they will be accepted when they meet a group of bees with a queen. Then become a member of this bee colony, help this bee colony develop, build a hive to raise larvae, collect pollen and aura to brew honey..."

Su Wanqing seemed particularly interested when talking about beekeeping, and she then told them about the development of the hive.The number of bees in a colony depends on the size of the hive and honey productivity, so beekeepers have to take away part of the honey from the hive from time to time.

Because as the number of spirit bees in the hive increases, new queens will be produced, which will lead to the division and struggle of the bee colony.So as long as a part of the honey is taken away, the queen bee will slow down the speed of reproduction, and it can also prevent the bee colony from killing each other.

But we can't take away all the honey, but leave a part of the honey that is enough for the spirit bees to eat by themselves, otherwise the food shortage will make the basic operation of the bee colony unable to maintain, and even violate the beekeeper's spirit control attack Other hives plunder food, and the berserk swarm will even attack other creatures at this time.Therefore, beekeepers usually adhere to the rule of taking half and keeping half.

"Isn't that great?" Yan Huang smiled, "Get along with these spirit bees as a collaborator, not a predator."

Su Wanqing's eyes flashed suddenly, and she smiled excitedly: "That's right! That's the reason! We provide them with shelter and the materials they need to collect honey, and they give a part of honey in return. The bee colony They will not kill each other just because a new queen bee is born, everyone will benefit from each other! After all, you are a wood spirit, so you can understand this..."

Speaking of this, Su Wanqing seemed to suddenly realize that the person she was talking to was Yan Huang, she instantly changed her face, looked at him hostilely, and stopped herself from talking.

"This kid, isn't he still angry about the jingle last time?" Yan Huang thought to himself a little worried.
