"Yes, if they have local craftsmanship, they can go to other places and bring some special dishes, so that every place will always change the dishes. You also know how tricky people's tastes are these days."

"This is a good idea. But now don't you have to get a health certificate before entering a store?"

"It's just a guide, I didn't let them do it."

While talking, the car had already entered a mountain road, with a river on one side and mountains on the other. After driving for ten minutes, we arrived at a village.

There is a small river, and there are rice fields beside the river. The second-season rice has been planted and harvested, and now it is all alfalfa. Lin Shuang recognized this thing from seeing it on the Internet.

Purple flowers and alfalfa itself are good feed.

“Are there any cattle raised here?”

"Yes, we don't raise many. This is the local cooperative. It was supposed to be more convenient to raise pigs, but it was so hard in the first two years that we just raised cows. We only raised a few dozen."

"Is there beekeeping here?"

"Yes, I have support."

Queen, if there is not really a queen visiting China, then it is probably some kind of king in nature.

Termites are nothing to save, but bees swarms are most likely.

The car drove to the parking lot. This is the office building of the cooperative. The building itself has no sense of design. There is a lightning rod with two balls on the top of the third floor.

The parking lot is interesting. It is built with a bamboo shed and loofahs are planted on it. The strips hang down and the cars will not be exposed to the sun underneath.

There is a piece of bamboo in front of the building, and there is a large shed between the bamboos. There are several adults and children sitting below, drinking tea and playing chess.

When I saw the car, a dark-skinned middle-aged man came up to say hello.

He is the manager of the cooperative, his name is Qi Lu, he is from this village, and he has only been a manager for three years.

Tang Yuan had been here before and acted as a guide, leading Lin Shuang to the vegetable garden.

Both of them wore large wide-brimmed sand hats, veils on their faces, and sunglasses.

Qi Lu also followed behind to take care of him.

The vegetable garden here is more like a bamboo garden. After thinning the bamboos, a shelf is built in the middle and various vegetables are planted.

“This kind of scaffolding is very windproof.”

Lin Shuang took a quick look around. How should I put it? The agricultural model of the cooperative here seems to be separated from the Lanting Agricultural Park by an entire civilization.

The tone of Qi Lu's introduction sounded like he was quite satisfied, but at this point, Lin Shuang knew that he had never seen Lanting Agricultural Park, and Zhou Mingyue and the others certainly didn't mention to these people that there was also the all-round self-circulation high

Scientific and technological agricultural model.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no unique places. Lin Shuang noticed that there are bamboo tracks on the roadside here with moso bamboos connected end to end. They are placed on the ground. The two tracks are half a meter apart. They guess they are used in fields.

Head transportation.

This is similar to the track proposed by Lin Shuangxiang to Lin Zhao.

"When did you do this?"

"This has been going on for two years. We have a lot of bamboo in the mountains. By doing this, we can save a lot of manpower in a year. It is not as high as the cost of rails and is easy to rust."

"That's the car we made ourselves." Qi Lu pointed to the side. There were some cars made of bamboo, but the wheels on the bottom were actually plastic wheels.

Walking through this bamboo grove, you will see a field of rapeseed flowers, where bees are everywhere on the rapeseed flowers.

"That's the hive of our club over there."

There were bees everywhere. Qi Lu pointed to a bamboo shed in the bamboo forest, with rows of beehives placed underneath.

"Doesn't anyone need to watch?" Lin Shuang asked, "Will it be stolen?"

"Don't look. We're pretty safe here. Stealing bees also requires skills. You can't just use a box to lure the bees away." Qi Lu led the two of them over, "Would you like to taste some honey?"

"Forget it." Tang Yuan shook his head, "Just tell us and we'll listen."

"It's relatively easy for bees to take care of it. Generally, the worker bees take care of it. In summer, we will provide some water on the side. There are enough flowers here. If it is winter, we may need to add some sugar water."

"Worker bees are good at taking care of people?"

"It's not taking care of people, it's those bees, queen bees, drones, etc. The queen bee is..."

Qi Lu introduced him all the way, and also explained himself.

It turned out that he had been keeping bees for 20 years, and he often took the bees to chase the flowering period. Later, he couldn't chase the bees anymore, so he returned to his hometown and joined the cooperative.

"Actually, our economy in Zhushan is not bad. If I could stay here and work casually, it would be fine. I still think beekeeping is interesting."

"Speaking of which, I first fell in love with beekeeping because I read a novel, The Legend of the Condor Heroes. I felt that this kind of life was quite free. My wife also felt that this kind of life was very suitable for me."

Lin Shuang: "...."

Looking at Tang Yuan, there was a smile in Tang Yuan's eyes.

"I drove a car and took my wife with me, chasing the flowering season all the way from north to south. I lived in the wild for several months and even went to the plateau."

Qi Lu talked about his beekeeping journey, traveling all the way to collect honey, and only had a break of two years before returning to give birth to his children.

From what Qi Lu said, beekeeping is still a romantic journey.

"Where is the queen bee?"

"In the beehive, the bee colony is a small society. The queen bee is the most comfortable, soaking in royal jelly all her life." Qi Lu concluded.

Lin Shuang glanced at him, "This guy has been beekeepers for twenty years and has only learned skills. You really like to eat well and sleep well as a queen bee."

"It won't come out?"

"After the new queen comes out, the queen will separate the nest. At this time, it will come out of the box and get married."

"What flying?"

"Those who get married, those who fly," Qi Lu looked around, seeing bees everywhere. "They usually fly higher than these."

Lin Shuang had already focused on a place where a larger bee was flying in front, followed by five smaller bees chasing behind it.

"Is that the queen bee up there?"

"Where?" Qi Lu looked up and didn't know where he was.

"Where is it?"

At this time, in Lin Shuang's eyes, a drone had already caught up with the virgin queen, grabbed her back, and started mating in flight.

"Heaven."

The mating time was very short. Lin Shuang saw that the queen bee suddenly accelerated its flight and then separated from the drone. There was a "white line" hanging from the tail. In fact, it was not a white line, but the drone's internal organs.

The drone that completed its mission flew away and died somewhere unknown.

Then another drone flew up, pulled off the queen bee's tail, and then put it on its back...

The mission is to save the queen. What is it asking me to save?

People are happy to get married and fly freely.

Lin Shuang fell into endless confusion until he saw several spotted finches flying in the bamboo forest.

"Do birds eat bees?"

"That will definitely happen." Qi Lu stretched his finger to his mouth and blew a sharp whistle.

The spotted finches scattered towards the sky.

Qi Lu sighed: "In fact, there is nothing we can do. Some of them will always be eaten, and there are not many of them."

"These birds won't be stung on their tongues when they eat bees?" Lin Shuang bent down and picked up two half-dried bamboo branches and held them in his hands.

"I don't know about this. We can't even see it even if it stings."

"Can the queen bee sting?"

"Queen bee? No, the queen bee's tail stinger is used to deal with her sisters."

Before Qi Lu finished speaking, the dead branches in Lin's hands had been thrown into the sky, and the two circular branches made three spotted finches run away screaming.

"There is a queen bee up there, on her wedding flight, and those birds just went for her."

"Really?" Qi Lu put up a blindfold.

He still didn't see the queen bee: "Then it's probably the mating flight, it's almost done."

"The fourth one." Lin Shuang said casually.

"That's almost it. Marriage flights are also very dangerous. Try to collect as much sperm as possible."

"Why isn't this work done in the nest?"

"This is for the quality of fertility. If it flies outside, it depends on who can catch up."

After staring for a while, the new queen returned to the box and crawled into the hole.

In Lin Shuang's mind, the submit task button had been activated. Lin Shuang complained while submitting: "Why is Xiao Wai so boring? When I was asked to save the queen, I actually saved this one."

"I see you really have nothing to do."

“How do you know beekeeping happens here?”
