Chapter 5: Surprise in the Fruit Forest
Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Qiao Xi cheered up and planted broad beans one by one in the soft soil turned over by the big-tailed yak.

We must ensure that there is enough sunlight to promote its rooting and germination, but we must also be careful not to let bushes affect its growth.

I didn't bring enough seeds, but broad beans grow very fast and should be able to cover the entire land.

The soil is quite moist, so there is no need to water it anymore. Watering too much will have the opposite effect and the seeds will rot.

For now, we will only develop these two plots of land. Qiao Xi can't take care of more for the time being.

She had to go and check on the fruit trees on the hillside. She had only seen them from a distance a few times in the past few days and had never observed them closely. Josh saw that many of the fruit trees were bearing fruit.

However, the orchard is not simpler than the wasteland outside the cabin. The abundant food will attract many greedy monsters, and there may even be little creatures settling in it.

Josh dared not act rashly.

"Big-tailed yak, let's go to the orchard and take a look," he patted the big-tailed yak who was full and sleeping lazily.

A man and a cow headed towards the hillside.

"Moo~"

Qiao Xi felt the temperature around her drop suddenly, and there was an ice-blue light flashing around her. This was the big-tailed yak using its energy to create a shield around her.

Just in case there are special circumstances.

Before reaching the orchard, Qiao Xi heard a buzzing sound.

The more you are afraid of something, the more it becomes.

Qiao Xi's heart was beating fast, and he glanced at the big-tailed yak.

"Moo~" Don't be afraid of me!

Yes, there are big-tailed yaks, but I don’t know what kind of bee it is. I hope it’s not a double-stinged hornet or a giant-jawed poisonous wasp. If it is these two kinds of monsters, Josh would not dare to provoke them.

It's nothing, he just has a strong desire for revenge. If he bites Qiao Xi when Niu Niu is not paying attention, he can just carry Qiao Xi away.

As he approached the orchard, Qiao Xi saw that the orchard in front of him was full of small pink flowers with a very light fragrance and obovate petals.

It's bitter candy! Qiao Xi's mind raced. When it grows up, it will be a small heart-shaped fruit, sweet with a slight bitter taste, very refreshing.

Currently, the pioneering corps is working hard to advance the strategic goal of developing the alien continent, working day and night. The demand for bitter candies is very high and the price is very good.

However, Qiao Xi waved her hand to signal the big-tailed yak not to follow her. She quietly went in to take a look at what kind of bees they were so that she could find a way to manage this bitter candy forest.

An ice-blue light enveloped Qiao Xi as she tiptoed into the orchard and headed in the direction of the buzzing sound.

Please don’t let it be a double-stinged hornet, please don’t let it be a giant-jawed venomous wasp, please, please!

Josh muttered to himself.

Hey! Looking ahead, I saw a white beehive built on the ground and branches. It wasn't a hive of double-stinged wasps or giant-jawed wasps.

Josh felt relieved and unconsciously took a few more steps forward, wanting to take a closer look at what kind of bee it was.

"Buzz buzz buzz" he was discovered! A group of white, fat, fluffy little bees surrounded Josh.

"Moo~" This is the warning of the big-tailed yak.

The little fat bees retreated several meters in an instant. They could not afford to provoke such a high-level magical beast.

This time, Qiao Xi saw it clearly. It was a white velvet bumblebee! This is a good helper in the orchard!

Compared to other bee-like monsters, their numbers are much smaller, their aggressiveness is very low, and they are very well-behaved little bees. "Hello, my name is Qiao Xi, and I am the owner of this orchard you are staying in."

Master? The white velvet bumblebees buzzed and chatted, flying up and down.

This is a newly emerged bee colony. The queen bee has just awakened from her slumber and established this small colony.

The combat effectiveness is unknown, but it is definitely not strong.

Are they going to be forced to leave before they even produce much honey? Can they find a better place to collect honey after leaving here? Can they compete with other evil bee colonies?

The swarm of bees buzzed in panic.

These honest little bees didn't even think about robbing the orchard. They just believed whatever Josh said. Of course, they didn't have the strength to do so.

"Buzz buzz" The queen bee slowly emerged from the hive and flew towards Josh pitifully. Because it was too fat, it fell down after flying for a while, and then flew up again with its short wings.

Josh's heart was melted, so cute.

"Buzz buzz buzz" The queen bee rubbed her furry little feet in front of Josh, as if praying.

Josh asked, "Are you asking me to let you stay in the orchard? If so, hum!"

"Buzz" the queen bee really buzzed.

Haha, Josh really hopes these cute little bees will stay, but he can't reveal his thoughts.

Josh pretended to think for a moment and said, "If you want to stay in my orchard, you need to work for me and manage the pollination of this orchard for me."

"Buzz buzz" the queen bee buzzed twice quickly, and it agreed.

"Also, tell me the truth, where did all your pollen go?" Qiao Shi revealed his true intentions.

The white velvet bumblebee can make honey, but its technique is not very good and its yield is very low. Its hives are not well built either, but it can collect more pollen than other bees. There are also large and small hairs on its legs, which seem to be some kind of innate spatial talent that allows it to carry more pollen.

So they almost always eat ready-made nectar and make very little.

The legs of this group of white velvet bumblebees are clean, with only a small amount of pollen on them. There is no honey in the hive, and it is well built, with no miscellaneous dirt mixed in.

It's obvious at first glance that this group of stupid bumblebees couldn't have built it.

They are looking for pollen almost all day long. There is no way that there is no pollen in the hive. The only reason is that they send the pollen to other places.

"Buzz buzz buzz" smaller bees emerged from behind the fruit trees blocked by the white beehive.

"Slender-legged bee?" Qiao Xi was surprised. If this rare little bee didn't look so special, she really wouldn't recognize it.

Their small bodies drag a few pairs of long and slender legs, which not only makes them fly slowly, but also makes them unable to carry much pollen. Their legs are smooth and without fluff, so they cannot store much pollen.

But when it comes to making honey in the hive, their skills are fast and excellent, and they are a type of bee that produces a very high amount of honey.

Of course, this is all what Qiao Xi read in the newspaper, and she has never seen it.

A small group of slender-legged bees flew to the queen of the white-velvet bumblebee and buzzed towards Josh together.

"Do you want me to keep the wasp too?"

Two groups of little bees buzzed quickly.

"Then you have to work for me, only then will I allow you to stay here," Josh said seriously to the slender-legged bee.

In fact, she was so happy that she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
