Song Tan Jishi

  Chapter 40 40. Placement of beehives

  Back home, Song Sancheng started a new round of busy work.

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

  Song Youde heard that his granddaughter wanted to keep bees, so he hurried over after lunch. Seeing that Song Sancheng was still cutting asbestos tiles there, he couldn't help feeling disgusted:

   "Look at you, what a waste of time to do something, this beehive must be put away first!"

   Song Tan knew as soon as she heard it that her grandfather was also an outsider directing blindly.

Sure enough, Song Sancheng said while he was working, "Dad, don't make trouble, the beekeeper said that the beehive needs to be covered with a rain-proof board. One click, just to cover them."

  Song Youde made a mistake in command, and his old face was a little uneasy:

   "You know how to keep bees! I used to raise bees too, but the bottom of this box has to be padded, and it's 10 to 20 centimeters high!"

  He didn’t talk nonsense this time, the bottom of the beehive really needs to be cushioned, first to prevent insects and moisture, and second to provide ventilation.

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

   "They also treated the boxes to prevent ants. We plan to put the beehives on the outside of the yard, next to the back mountain."

   "However, I heard that the beehives have to be placed in steps up and down, and they have to be shaded—would you like to help me find out which one is more suitable?"

  The middle bee is like this, and the ability to recognize the nest is relatively poor.

  So the beehives not only have to be placed in steps from top to bottom, but also have a distance of about five meters between each beehive. The mouth of the beehive should face south, but the direction of each box must be different...

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

   Now it seems that there is a way to do everything.

  Song Youde was assigned a job, and only felt that his personal value had been further reflected. Now he was smoking a pipe, and wandered around the yard.

  Song Sancheng glanced at his daughter, thinking that the child's mouth really looked a bit like her mother.

  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 milk vetch flowers in the field are already budding, and they will bloom in a few days, and then they will be able to collect honey."

   But she said so, but she didn't move.

   After all, there are a few groups of bees buzzing around all the time, which still makes people feel a little frightened.

  Song Tan didn't care about it, and now he simply took the plate over, and wisps of aura permeated 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's heart skipped a beat—the aura is so attractive, she will have to practice insect repellent first, otherwise if a few wasps come here at random, her money will be wasted.

   Well, these are just simple spells, the aura is enough, let’s start tonight!

   And Qiaoqiao held the box in his hand, and rarely watched Song Sancheng work obediently.

   After all the asbestos tiles were cut, he raised his head and asked, "Dad, where's mine? Where's my little bear?"

   "What your bear?"

  Song Sancheng was taken aback for a moment, and then realized - what a great effort, this bumblebee has a name!

   "You want to ask about your bear's rain shield?"

  Jojo nodded, his gaze was wandering back and forth on the ground, as if he was choosing which one was more suitable

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

   "Whether your bumblebee can be kept together with our honeybees is another matter! Since it is kept for fun, let's put it in the corner of the shed."

   "It's sheltered from the wind and rain, and there are fewer bugs, so it's safe."

   Being able to keep them in the yard is of course getting closer to yourself!

  Qiao Qiao rushed over with the box in his hands, and after a while, he had already chosen the location.

   Until then, he looked over pitifully again: "Sister, I want to open the box and take a look."

  Song Tan thought for a while, prepared another little sugar water, also melted the aura into it, and then opened the box.

  I saw the chubby body of the queen bee take off uncontrollably, then plunged into the saucer, impatiently sucking it!

   Poor thing, I'm probably very hungry, and I'm waiting to store energy and lay eggs!

  Its chubby buttocks are pouted high, and the black and yellow plush stripes are clear and bright. The **** is big and round, hairy, and quivering, and it looks like you can't help but want to touch it.

  Qiao Qiao stretched out his finger again, and Song Tan glanced at him:

   "Hands don't hurt anymore?"

  He took his hand back in aggrieved moment.

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

   "Don't move around."

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

  Anyway, I don’t expect them to make money anymore, so just think of it as finding a hobby for Qiao Qiao.

Um…

  She recalled the furry and chubby touch, and at this moment, while Qiao Qiao turned her head, she quickly opened the box and touched it hard!

   On the plate, the bumblebee almost fell directly into the sugar water by this touch. At this moment, it stretched out and retracted the spikes that hadn't touched anything. Finally, it moved its buttocks, buried its head in and sucked hard.

  …

  At this time, Dr. Zhang Yuan from Ning Province has once again become more famous in the hospital!

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

   "Doctor Zhang, the vegetable porridge you ate at noon, everyone said you bought it—what kind of vegetable? Where did you buy it? How much is it per catty? Can our patient eat it?"

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

   Here's the thing.

   What about these dishes, for two hundred yuan, I got such ten catties, and that’s not counting the postage!

   Finally got it, I just opened the box, the chef from the cafeteria strolled over first:

   "Doctor Zhang, is the patient delivering food to you again?"

  Zhang Yuan quickly waved his hand: "No, I bought it with my own money. It costs 20 yuan a catty."

  After experiencing the iron-blooded lesson from the head nurse last time, he decided to open his mind again—to dedicate these dishes to his respected leader!

  However, he hesitated for a while, why he didn't understand why he opened his mouth, and saw that the chef was already holding the dish, smelling and looking at it:

"Doctor Zhang, I heard you haven't dated yet, right? Do you still live in a dormitory? Oh, this single guy just can't do it. You see, there is no recipe at all. How can you buy so much at once? You can't finish it It's all ruined!"

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

  He didn't speak, the chef made the arrangements first:

   "I heard that the provincial committee is here today. Your shepherd's purse is very good, or I'll make some dumplings with it?"

   "This watercress is also good, and the stew must be fresh."

   "Oh, this wild onion is good! It's so delicious, I'm going to fry beef!"

   "This Malan head...the amount is too small, it's really awkward to make a plate, otherwise I will cook a pot of green vegetable porridge for you at noon."

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

   Asbestos tile: a simple waterproof material commonly used in rural areas, which is cheap and light.

   Finally, there are more in the afternoon.
