N-A-A Chapter 196
Chapter 196
I don't know if Tang Xiaoguo's sneeze is related to discussing the height of the Malay bear.
Anyway, because of this, the little girl is very sad.
I thought that with some goldfinger, a sneeze would bring a great contribution to the team, but it turned out that for a long time, the two partners changed the water flow halfway up the mountain.
At this time, a large puddle of water had accumulated 30 meters north of the banyan tree.
Gradually, it spread over the cowshed, and it is still spreading.
Lu Zhe originally wanted to open a waterway now, but now he had more important things to do.
Make a beehive!
Speaking of which, since picking up a piece of honey under the rocks of Eggshell Island, I haven't been able to encounter a second piece on the volcanic island.
This time, he also took a great risk to get most of this hive in the hands of the fierce Malay bear.
It is believed that bees are also a relatively scarce resource on the island.
Now that most of the bees in the nest have run away, they say that they can't let the remaining bees escape.
So getting a beehive is the most important and urgent thing?
So what is the best material to make a beehive?
Fir and paulownia wood!
Have it?
No!
And even if there is, in the absence of professional saws and planers, cutting boards to make box beehives is too much.
What else?
Bamboo!
But to be thick, the bamboo tube of the dragon bamboo can be, and other types of bamboo can only be used as a beehive in the thickest part of the root. The Dai people use bamboo tubes as hives to attract bees.
Have it?
There are a lot of bamboo, but I have never seen such a thick one on a volcanic island.
Abandon!
What else?
For thousands of years, the most suitable materials for beehives have been made by the soil method, and the most suitable materials are bamboo fence and cow dung.
The specific method is to weave bamboo fences into baskets, coated with cow dung, safe and comfortable, warm in winter and cool in summer, and can also prevent wasps, the effect is barbaric!
Even cow dung beehives produce higher quality honey than ordinary beehives.
Luckily, both things are available, and they are inexhaustible.
The question is, will the girls accept it?
Not to mention the girl, the thought of the honey in the mouth taken out of the cow dung pile, I am a little refused.
Forget it, think of another way!
With earthen embryos and clay!
This is the best acceptable and operational approach at this stage!
Hurry up and get dry!
Lu Zhe cut a large number of bamboo strips and made a large pile of clay.
Then, take these things to the woods near the camp, which has a very large variety of trees, shrubs and wildflowers.
Find a place to paste a base, then use bamboo strips to build a skeleton, and then smooth the clay paste on the surface to form an earthen embryo box.
Then find a broken mosquito net in the "treasure box" containing household garbage.
Make five boxes out of bamboo, support the mosquito net on it, and tie it tightly with fishing line!
Then put it vertically in the beehive so that the bees can make spleen on it.
Finally, make a lid with bamboo strips and clay, and leave only a small gap on it for worker bees to enter and exit.
A simple earthen beehive is made.
Next, just place the hive three meters away from the hive and wait for the hive to dry.
If worker bees find a better location, they may develop a bee mood and then build kings and male hives.
After the new queen bee grows into adulthood, it is possible to take some bees to move positions and strengthen the colony.
From then on, one litter of bees becomes two litters.
If after a period of time, there is no queen bee to lead her subordinates to transfer, you need to consider whether there is a problem with the beehive, if there is no problem, you need to consider human intervention.
Lu Zhe took a piece of honey and kept it in a canned bottle, and the rest of the hive was placed next to the beehive to create conditions for them to reproduce.
Jiang Yao asked with some curiosity: "How long will it take for the queen bee to come out?"
"The worker bee will be born sixteen days after the king platform, and after doing shame with the male bee, wait another sixteen days to give birth to a baby bee." They can give birth to 500 to 1,000 babies a day, sometimes laying eggs that exceed their own weight. After 20 days, these babies will be able to fly out to collect honey. So as long as there is a queen, the hive can soon prosper.
"500-1000 babies? God, does the queen bee have to be with the male bee all day?
"Not really, they don't have many intimacies, and there is even a saying that the queen only needs to be intimate with the male bee once to save enough tadpoles for a lifetime to lay eggs."
"My God, how many years will that queen bee live? How many eggs are laid in a lifetime? "
East bees live for three or five years and can produce about one million."
"The male bee should be easy!"
"In fact, after making intimate sex with the queen, the male bee will be driven out of the nest and then quickly hanged. Because in the eyes of other bees, its mission is accomplished. It can't collect honey on its own, and it can't feed itself at all.
Jiang Yao nodded: "So, its mission in life is to love it once in life?"
"This..." Lu Zhe was a little helpless:
"I want to give a negative answer, but it's actually as you said." Anyway, we have done everything we should do, the rest is to wait, if they are not divided into boxes after a few days, human intervention will have to be made. Let's go back to the camp and take a look. "
Alright!"
Two people back to the camp, but pour.
There was already a large puddle of water near the banyan tree, and Shen Bing was scooping water out with three girls.
"Lu Zhe, the camp is all wet."
"We're wet too."
"What to do!"
"Hehe, I almost forgot about this side after cleaning up the beehive, but don't worry, you drain the water first, just wait for me to dig a drainage channel."
Lu Zhe took out a shovel and began to dig the drainage.
He spent two hours digging a ditch about 40 centimeters wide and 30 centimeters deep.
From the woods to the edge of the small highland, it is 30 meters away.
The water churns in the ditch, reaches the beach, and merges with the sea.
The ditch was made, and the water flowed into the camp continuously.
But....
Can I drink it?
The spring water that came down from the bottom of the mountain has become a gray and dirty water.
Several girls looked at this ditch a little confused.
"Does this work?"
"Filter, filter should work!"
"I'd rather walk a few more steps and go to the lake to fetch water."
Shen Bing said: "In fact, after a while, when the silt is almost washed away, it should be clear.
"I hope so!"
"Otherwise, I really don't know what it's for!"
Tang Xiaoguo took two dense flower leaves: "You guys study first, the squad leader accompanies me to the toilet!"
"Wait!"
Lu Zhe suddenly said!
"What are you waiting for?"
"Go to the toilet!"
"Are you going to accompany me? "
I'm not going to accompany you, but Guo'er just reminded me that this ditch has another excellent use!"
Shen Bing thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "You shouldn't want to use it to put it in the bathroom!"
"That's right!"
The corner of Lu Zhe's mouth smiled faintly: "Guo'er, I want to try its drainage effect, if you want to go to the toilet, please go here!" "
