  Chapter 39 39. Being stung

  Jojo’s desire to touch the bees was not fulfilled, so he squatted there, watching helplessly:

   "Why can't I?"

  The beekeeper is familiar with Song Sancheng, and he knew about Qiao Qiao's situation. Now it's like coaxing a child:

   "Because you are not familiar with them now, if you stretch out your hand, the bees will think that you are going to hit them, and they will sting you."

  He closed the beehive again, and then reminded: "Don't touch it randomly, you will be very painful if a bee stings, but it will die when it stings, this little thing is pitiful."

   "Besides," he stretched out his hand for everyone to see, only to see that it was covered with calluses and thick joints: "I have rough skin and thick flesh, and I have long been used to it."

  Qiaoqiao looked at his hand, and stretched out his palm again—Ulan loves to be clean, and has kept him neat and tidy since childhood. Now this hand is also delicate and white, with distinct joints.

  If it wasn't for the fact that the farm work was a little rough during this time, I'm afraid I would still look like a pampered son.

  He let out a long, long sigh in disappointment, and turned his head to look elsewhere.

   And here, Song Sancheng and Song Tan looked at the beehives one by one, and then asked about the price—in short, 560 a box must not be less!

  Song Sancheng hesitated: "Are there any other flowers after we finish Zivet? If there are not so many flowers later, we don't need so many beehives."

  Song Tan pondered: It's all here, and the beehives are not expensive, at worst, she uses spiritual energy to raise them! Honey is a good thing!

So I broke my fingers and took stock: "In the past two months, Chinese vetch and chestnuts will also bloom. The pink peaches and white pears in our village are enough for them to eat. After June and July, the weather is hot, and the bees have a little rest Now, there are vegetables in the vegetable garden, and I plan to plant a field of sunflowers..."

   With such a calculation, it is affordable anyway.

  Song Sancheng's head got dizzy when he heard it—the daughter moved her mouth and became a father!

   It's chestnut and sunflower. His endless farm work this year!

   "All right, all right, you have the final say!"

  Song Tan then made a decision: "Five boxes!"

  The beekeeper laughed—this time, three thousand yuan was also credited.

  However, he still instructed: "Beekeeping is easy, you just need to put the beehives in place. If you have any problems, don't mess around, call me, and I'll come and have a look."

   As soon as the bill was settled here, there was a sudden wail!

   "Aww..."

  I saw Jojo running out of the woods with tears streaming down her originally fair face.

  He clenched one hand into a fist, the heel of the palm was red, swollen and shiny, obviously stung by a bee.

  Song Tan couldn't laugh or cry: "Didn't I tell you not to touch bees?"

  Jojo was aggrieved and cried even louder:

   "I picked up a fat, fat..."

   "This fat one can work, queen bee..."

   Obviously remembering the handful of bees caught by the beekeeper just now.

  The beekeeper was stunned: "Impossible, how could the queen bee come out of the box..."

  He muttered while poking his head over.

  I saw Qiao Qiao carefully closed his other hand, and slowly opened his swollen fist——

  In the palm of his hand, a chubby bee the size of a thumbnail was lying there cautiously. The body is fluffy with yellow and black stripes, and it is really big, round and fat.

   It's actually kind of cute.

  …

The beekeeper laughed happily: "Oh, it's nothing to worry about! This is a bumblebee, and its temper is as good as our bees. As long as you don't catch it, it usually won't sting, and it's okay to touch it once in a while. .”

  Qiao Qiao half understood, and stretched out her bright red palm.

  The beekeeper laughed again: "The pain must still be painful. I'll have some medicine for you later. This should be the newly unearthed queen bee. It's big."

   "The average bumblebee is a little smaller than this one."

  Song Tan is also quite interested.

  She flicked a trace of aura on her fingertips, and the queen bee was about to fly, but at this moment it staggered and stumbled, grabbing her finger all at once.

  Song Sancheng was taken aback: "Ouch!"

  Song Tan quickly comforted: "Dad, it's okay! Look, it didn't sting me—how cute!"

   The fluffy and chubby ball is really cute when it is pulled back and forth on her fingers.

   Qiao Qiao stared at him intently, and now he forgot about the sting.

  The beekeeper brought the medicine from the house, and while applying it to Qiao Qiao, he glanced at the bumble bee again, and ordered:

   "You can put it away after playing for a while, the queen bee is waiting to lay eggs and hatch."

  Song Tan thought for a while: "Can this one be raised? Does it produce a lot of honey?"

  The beekeeper laughed: "If you raise it, it must be able to raise it. This queen bee can give birth to more than a hundred. It can endure hardships and work harder than bees!"

   "Just one thing, they earn a lot and eat a lot. If you have to feed them, you can't get a ounce or two of honey from their mouths all year round—it's not enough for them to eat!"

   "If they can't eat pollen and nectar for an hour, they will faint directly. Just like our hypoglycemia, if they can't eat any more, they will die directly."

   Having said that, even Song Sancheng's eyes burst into a smile:

   "This is a bumblebee, isn't it the same as that piglet?"

  But Jojo has already heard this sentence.

  Although he didn't fully understand it, it didn't prevent him from blinking his eyes and looking over pitifully:

   "Sister, I want to raise..."

  He watched the bumblebee crawling up and down on Song Tan's finger, it was very cute. Now that the scar was healed, he forgot the pain, and stretched out his hand again.

   However, the smell of medicinal oil in his hand was too strong, and the bumblebee flew up with a "buzz".

  Circled twice, still reluctant to let go of the little aura, and lay down again.

   Beekeepers are also happy—

   "If you want to raise it, you can raise it. When the time comes, find a small box and prepare some sugar water for it. Don't worry about anything else."

   "The queen bee has to lay eggs as soon as it comes out of the ground. At that time, beeswax will be secreted in the box, and it will be made into a small jar little by little. The eggs laid are all in that small jar."

   "Then sit on it with one buttocks, and keep shaking and shaking. When the temperature rises, the worker bees will hatch. It's also very interesting to raise."

   But in the end, I added another sentence: "But they really don't make money, they are too good to eat."

   "And it's not as stable as a bee, and it may fly away by then."

  Song Tan moved his finger and saw the bumblebee firmly on his finger, now he smiled confidently:

   "Does it still hurt? Jojo."

  Jojo looked at the bumblebee, then at his palm, and sniffed: "It hurts."

   "Will you still grab things next time?"

   Qiaoqiao sobbed, and then shed tears of grievance.

  Song Sancheng's heart melted when he saw it, so he quickly coaxed him: "I won't catch it next time, I won't catch it next time."

  Song Tan snorted, then asked the beekeeper for a small wooden box, and put the bumblebees in it. Then he stuffed the box into Jojo's hands:

   "Take it, don't open it to read, if it is scared, it will run away."

   Hmm... Today, how about three shifts?

   This bumblebee is really super cute and has a good personality (but it is still not recommended to touch it, I will not be responsible if it stings). It's Jojo's friend that I mentioned last time!
