Wizarding World Beekeeper

"I know a place!"

The yellow-haired pseudo-flower spirit immediately flew out and said: "It's a lake. We all call it 'Witch's Eye'. It's surrounded by mandarin flowers. There's not much honey flowing now, but there will be more in a few days." , not far from here.”

Plumeria...

"Isn't this the one I had my eye on before?"

What a coincidence.

The mandarin flower is indeed a nectar plant, and I was right.

Hua Mi gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.

"Then I'll ask you to lead the way tomorrow."

The sun is almost setting today, so we must come back at night.

Going out to explore at night is not a wise choice, and you can't count on these seven little ones to help when you encounter danger.

Before parting, Hua Mi filled their small wooden buckets with Moon Sleeping Flower honey.

The fake flower essence was so happy that hearts seemed to be popping out of her head.

If this is a game, the favorability level should be increased at least.

Before moving the beehive into the magic box, Hua Mi checked the progress of breeding the new forest speed bee queen.

"Almost mature."

Generally speaking, the new queen bee of ordinary bees will not mate immediately after maturity, but will fly away from the nest and hover for a while. The term in the circle is called "test flight".

A few days later, there will be a "wedding flight", which is flying in the air to mate with the drones.

Forest Swift Bees reproduce faster than ordinary bees and do not need to wait as long.

Moreover, as long as the gonads are mature and the conditions for laying eggs are met, Hua Mi can control the bees and force them to mate, without the need for cumbersome rituals such as test flights and wedding flights.

His instructions have the highest priority, even higher than the biological habits of bees.

His plan was to have the new queen bee's drones hybridize with her as soon as her gonads matured.

The beneficial traits of the Forest Swift Bee are speed and reproduction. Its weaknesses are that its survivability is not high enough and its ability to resist risks is poor. A normal honey gathering activity can cause a lot of damage, let alone other emergencies.

The Armored Bee has high risk resistance, but its disadvantage is that it is too slow.

If speed, reproduction and resistance are brought together, then a brand new bee species will be born. If you are lucky, you may be able to eliminate the forest speed bees and armored bees at the same time, integrating collection and combat capabilities!

Back on Earth, the sun was still high, and it was just afternoon.

"My routine is completely disrupted."

Fortunately, there is moonflower honey to help me sleep.

Close the curtains, put on an eye mask, drink a glass of honey water, and fall asleep sweetly.

At the same time, two customers outside who came to buy honey were rejected.

"Not here again?"

"Business is too bad. Let's close it."

"I guess that's the case. Why don't you put a notice on the door or something, so we make several trips in vain."

"It's understandable. If you're bankrupt, why would you still have such thoughts? Hey, I think our Huayu Town used to be glorious..."

The two residents sighed and turned to leave.

…

"This is...not far from what you said?"

Hua Mi was carrying a survival backpack and holding a compound bow in his hand, leaning against the tree trunk and breathing heavily.

Fortunately, the temperature inside the black robe can be automatically adjusted, just like in an air-conditioned room, otherwise he would have been sweating profusely by now.

"It's really not that far. It's because you're walking too slowly." The yellow-haired pseudo-flower spirit flew around him and said bluntly: "Human beings are in really bad shape."

"Don't fire the map cannon." Hua Mi said sternly, "My poor physical fitness is my personal matter and has nothing to do with race. People's physical fitness cannot be generalized. Some people can kill a bear with bare hands, and some people can feed a tiger with a sliding shovel. full."

"She did not mean to disparage the human race."

The red-haired pseudo-flower essence stared at Huang Mao: "Right?"

The latter stuck out his tongue: "I'm sorry."

Hua Mi took another deep breath and nodded: "Accept. Let's keep walking...you guys, fly slower."

In fact, Hua Mi's physique is not that bad.

Mainly because of the terrain...

The forest is different from the plains. The terrain inside is very complex. You have to climb when you encounter slopes, and you have to go around difficult places.

The same distance can be reached quickly on flat ground, but in the forest, it may take several times the time.

When walking in the forest, you can't just look at the straight line distance.

Qi Xiao can fly, so of course he can fly with ease.

In order to keep up with their speed, he almost jogged all the way, which made him unable to keep up.

We walked and stopped along the way, and finally arrived at our destination around noon.

"This is the 'Witch's Eye', which is said to be an illusion of one of the Black Witch's eyes."

Hua Mi put her hands on her knees and looked up at the scene in front of her.

A large lake surrounded by blooming flowers.

The lake is so big that the trees on the other side have become small sticks about an inch long. The lakeshore is in the shape of a spindle, but the water is not very clear, like a deep eye.

However, as a beekeeper born in Huayu Town, Hua Mi turned a blind eye to this mysterious lake. All he could see was the flowers on the shore of the lake.

"This is the mandarin flower...it's beautiful."

Compared to the sketches drawn in his notes, he was more intoxicated by the actual scene.

The sketch only shows its features, but its beauty is less than one-tenth.

The whole flower is composed of red and white, with red as the main body and white as the edge. There are three curved flat structures on the periphery of the petals, like streamers.

When the wind blows, the petals sway, and it seems like you can really see the dancers wearing feathered clothes dancing gracefully.

Unknowingly, Hua Mi walked into the flowers.

Some small flying insects were disturbed and took off one after another.

Compared with the fragrance of moonflower, the fragrance of mandarin flower is stronger.

"This is indeed a good honey source. With the magic box, we can easily bring bees here..."

The only problem is that the journey was too bumpy and a lot of time was wasted.

If it was simply a long distance but the terrain was flat, he could bring a bicycle from Earth to travel.

However, given the terrain conditions, I’m afraid I’ll have to carry the bike most of the time.

When modern people first enter a natural environment like the forest, they are still very uncomfortable.

"However, there is nothing we can do about it, just treat it as a necessary transportation cost."

Those who are self-employed in mobile beekeeping have to drive around.

This kind of business is generally better, and the honey output needs to be guaranteed. Compared with the profit, the freight is not much, and it is completely affordable.

How can there be such a good thing if you want to chase honey sources but don't want to pay extra?

Hua Mi decided to let the bees out first to test the water.

After walking out of the flowers, Hua Mi took out the magic box from the pocket under his black robe, pressed the button, and placed it on the open ground.

The entrance opened instantly, and a faint scent of honey wafted out from inside.

Under normal circumstances, when collecting honey, you must move the beehives out and place them at a certain distance.

Stacking them all together like this will seriously affect the efficiency of honey harvesting.

But this time he just wanted the bees to come out to let the wind blow, so there was no need to waste energy moving the beehives out one by one.

Hua Mi was about to control a forest speed bee to fly out, when suddenly, there was a commotion behind him.

The flying insects in the flowers flew up one after another and fled in all directions, as if they were avoiding something.

At the same time, the water surface of the Witch's Eye trembled, like a broken mirror.

Along with the muffled sound, the soles of my feet felt the vibration of the ground.
