Mountain Wild Clouds

Chapter 139

Although he didn't have a wooden barrel, it would be no problem to dig a simple wooden barrel with a giant wooden stake.

After having iron tools such as chisels and hammers, it is actually very simple to do this kind of thing.He just needs to control his strength so as not to crack the giant wooden pile.

After spending more than an hour, Yunbuliu dug a simple wooden barrel with a diameter of more than one meter with a giant wooden stake more than one meter long, and the whole thing looked like a whole.

The bottom of the barrel is not flat, but conical, for the convenience of digging.

He originally wanted to hang this simple wooden barrel upside down on a tree, but think about it, if it is hung upside down, how to fix the hive with the queen bee in the wooden barrel?
Unable to fix, the swarm will certainly not follow their king.

Looking at the cauldron that was completely occupied by bees, Yun Buliu felt his scalp go numb.People with trypophobia will faint when they see this picture!
Yun Buliu looked at the swarm of bees, then at the simple large wooden barrel in his hand, and then at the hive that was not visited by wild bees.

From this point, it can be seen that the wild bees are not following the honey, but their king.Unfortunately, their king can't fly.

In other words, the queen bee in this period may be laying eggs, but her stomach is too big to fly.

It was also for this reason that it didn't come out when he smoked it before.Fortunately, the fragrant wood powder is not poisonous, otherwise the queen bee would have been poisoned to death in the hive.

Yun Buliu picked up the piece of honeycomb that he put in the stone pot, and honey was already dripping on the stone pot.Seeing this scene, he remembered that the old man in the village said that honey was obtained by steaming.

But how to steam?He is not very clear.However, he later heard that some beneficial molecules inside honey would be destroyed under high temperature conditions, and the nutritional value would plummet.

Therefore, modern people basically do not need to cook honey to get honey.

As for what method to use, Yun Buliu was also scratching his head.But seeing the honey flowing down from the incision of the hive, he couldn't help thinking of a way.

So, he used a knife to cut off a layer of white waxy substance outside the hive. This layer of white waxy substance is beeswax. The holes of the hive are blocked by this layer, and the honey cannot flow out.

After cutting off the layer of beeswax, Yun Buliu put the honeycomb directly on the stone pot.

But after thinking about it, he replaced the stone pot with the wooden barrel.

Not because the barrel is cleaner, but because the bottom of the barrel is conical, which makes it easier for him to take the honey later.After all, the stone pot was scraped out by him with tiger teeth, and the wall of the pot is not smooth, but has a line of marks, so it is not easy to get honey.

The honeycomb hangs upside down, above the wooden barrel, and then you can see honey slowly flowing out of the nest without leaving the cloud, which is due to the fact that the holes in the honeycomb are not small.Because those wild bees are not small, this hive is very large, and the holes in the hive are at least the size of a finger.

However, the speed at which they flowed was still very slow, which made him unable to help but pick up the honeycomb and gently shake it into the wooden barrel. Using this way of shaking, the honey in the honeycomb was thrown out.

What he didn't know was that the way modern people collect bees is by shaking and shaking, rotating the hive at high speed to shake out the honey in the hive.

Yun Buliu made a mistake.

After the honey in the honeycomb was thrown out, Yun Buliu used a wooden spoon to collect the thick honey into a bamboo tube for storage.

This is real all natural wild honey with crystal clear color.

Of course, there will inevitably be some residues in it, but Yun Buliu can't control that much, after all, there is no other way to filter the honey.

That piece of honeycomb made him collect honey in two bamboo tubes, which weighed three to four catties by visual inspection.

Therefore, Yun Buliu turned his mind to the big honeycomb in the cauldron.

Then, he continued to use the smoke method to drive away the colony of bees outside the cauldron, then the admiral picked up the hive and ran to the side of the barrel, cutting off a piece of the hive with a knife.

He took the piece that was left to hide the queen bee back to the cauldron and put it in the cauldron.

When the smoke dispersed, the wild bees came back buzzing and wrapped the cauldron.

Yun Buliu continued to shake the honey from the honeycomb.

In this way, he collected a total of six bamboo tubes of honey, and then he stopped harming the wild bee colony.Although it is summer now, some plants are still blooming, but who knows if they will have a hard time surviving after being robbed of so much honey by him?

It is said that honey bees eat honey during the winter, and the queen bee must also eat honey if she wants to lay eggs.

If all their honey is taken away, it is estimated that in the next period of time, the bee colony may become weaker and its members will continue to decrease.

After collecting the honey, Yun Buliu hung the honey-soaked wooden barrel sideways on a big tree in the grove.This big tree is near the orchard, in the northeast corner of the grove.

The wooden barrel hangs on the side and tilts slightly downward to shelter from the rain.

Then he ran back and drove the wild bees away with the smoke method, then picked up the piece of honeycomb, ran to the big tree in the barrel, and fixed the honeycomb in the barrel with a bone drill.

Not long after the hive was fixed in the barrel, the swarm of wild bees buzzed and followed.

Yun Buliu hid and watched from a distance, and almost in a blink of an eye, the large wooden barrel with an inner diameter of more than 1.2 meters and a depth of eighty to ninety centimeters was completely occupied by a swarm of bees.

The dense wild bees covered the large wooden barrel, making one's scalp numb.

Yun Buliu exhaled, turned and left.

From now on, this brood of wild bees is considered to be raised by it.

In the deep forest leading to the north of the Great Lake, that is, the large forest in the northeast occupied by the Daroushan family, there must be more than one nest of wild peaks.

Of course, even if there is only such a litter, the Daroushan family would not dare to come to this small forest easily, unless they are as strong-headed as the big black tiger, and they are not afraid of anything.

However, based on his understanding of the big meat mountain, it would basically not take risks. Regardless of its ferocious appearance, it is actually a beast from the heart.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to turn around and leave after only one glance at the iron spear shot by Yun Buliu.

Back at the small bamboo building by the lake, the little Maoqiu and the little tiger cubs had already returned, the little Maoqiu seemed a little afraid to face Yun Buliu's "contemptuous" gaze, and slipped to the top of the building.

The little tiger cub wagged its tail and ran over to show off its cuteness to him.

Downstairs on the hanging feet, the mother deer and her cub were still shivering, with lingering fears in their hearts.

Yun Buliu raised his foot angrily and lightly picked the little tiger cub, saying, "Go, go!"

As he said, he put away the honey, then picked up the big tiger skin on his back, and said to the little fur ball and the little tiger cub on the roof: "You guys wait at home, I'll go to the Great Snow Mountain!"

But soon, a little furball appeared on his shoulder.

The little tiger cub also ran up to him.
