Chapter 66 Swarm
Unlike the golden dung beetle and the colorful ladybug, the white-velvet bumblebee and the slender-legged wasp are smarter and have stronger expressive abilities.
Josh wasn't quite sure why, maybe it was because bees were more social and therefore better at communicating than other insects.
But the little bees were a little strange today. Josh felt something was wrong. Usually they were always busy and eager to collect honey, but why were they all gathered together today?
"Mr. Luman, is there something special about these little guys gathering together? They are not like this usually." There was an expert here, so Josh asked without thinking much.
"They are about to swarm." Ruman flicked the little bumblebees lightly and they flew away staggeringly.
"Swarming?" Qiao Xi was shocked. He hadn't seen them in the past few days, so why were they preparing to separate?
"Don't be surprised. With the warm climate and abundant nectar sources, the bee colonies are developing rapidly. Swarming is a very normal and good thing." Mr. Luman is happy to see it happen.
Qiao Xi knew this, but she was not prepared at all and these little bees suddenly started to separate, which caught her off guard.
After careful observation, Josh discovered that the hive already had drone combs and queen cells, which meant they had to be separated.
"White Velvet Bumblebee, where are you planning to move to?" Josh stopped a busy little bumblebee.
"Buzzing" beans and bean fields.
It wasn't very clear, but Josh figured it out immediately: a field of broad beans?
That's very suitable, as it is the flowering season for broad beans. The ground is covered with small purple-red flowers, which are very beautiful and provide abundant nectar.
"Then you guys go and get busy. If you need help, just tell me." Josh gently blew on the wings of the little fat bee and sent it away.
The growth of the bee colony is naturally a good thing, and Josh could hardly suppress the smile.
"Haha, Miss Qiao Xi, you don't have to hold it back. This is a happy thing and you should laugh out loud." Lu Man was also infected by Qiao Xi's happiness.
"Haha, Mr. Luman, you are right." Josh smiled.
Slowly walking to the Weiguang Lake, lush reeds grew all over the lakeside, and the arrival of Josh and Luman startled many flying birds.
A few familiar great-footed sand geese also came to say hello to Josh.
"If you have spare energy in the future, you can make use of the Weiguang Lake." Mr. Luman said casually after admiring the scenery.
Josh nodded, but that was all for the future and it was too early to think about it now.
Lu Man also knew that she had no energy left now, so he didn't say much.
Back to the Resha carriage, Mr. Luman was ready to go back, and Qiao Xi rode on the big-tailed yak and accompanied him part of the way.
"Mr. Luman, be careful and go slowly."
"Okay, Josh, you don't have to see me off. I wish Weiguang Farm will develop better and better. I hope that the farm can give me more surprises when I have the opportunity to come again next time."
"Okay, sure!"
Josh stopped at the intersection and watched Mr. Luman's carriage slowly disappear before returning to the farm.
Luman on this side noticed that there were a few more jars in the carriage. Upon closer inspection, he found that they were honey from the slender-legged bee. "Haha, what a thoughtful child."
The strong ape next to it puffed out its chest. It was the one who helped the girl carry it up there. He must be being praised.
Back at the farm, Josh looked at the fruit seedlings and scratched his head. He decided to start with the Robinia pseudoacacia first.
Planting them along the road and letting them bloom in the future will turn this inconspicuous path into a beautiful landscape.
Thinking about it, he immediately made arrangements. The ground-digging rat dug a suitable tree pit in the right location. Qiao Xi put fertilizer in it and then put the fine-leaved locust tree in it. There were dozens of fine-leaved locust trees. At first glance, there seemed to be a lot, but there were only a few of them planted along the way.
It's still small and the effect cannot be seen. When the tree grows up and blooms, it will definitely be beautiful. Josh recalled the fine-leaved locust tree he saw in Mr. Ruman's flower bed, and was still amazed by the pure white waterfall. It was so beautiful.
But Josh believes that in the future farms will be able to grow beautiful fine-leaved acacia trees like that one, they will definitely be able to.
Although it wasn't too tiring, it was already dinner time by the time I finished planting the Robinia pseudoacacia trees.
At noon, he just had a quick meal of wheat rice ball, but Qiao Xi was not going to be perfunctory about the dinner.
After being busy for several days, Josh had to have a good meal tonight.
"Huff~Huff~" The heavy breathing sounds of the Moon Bear came from a distance. Today, Big Star took Little Star to the deep forest to find food early in the morning and trained its hunting skills by the way.
"Hulu~" Little Xingxing rolled off the mother bear, biting an unknown object in his mouth, and crawled towards Qiao Xi.
Josh quickly reached out to catch it, to prevent the stupid bear from losing control and rolling away.
"Hulu~" Little Star handed the prey in its mouth to Josh. This was the prey it caught today and was giving to Josh.
"White-feathered chicken? Little Star, are you going to give it to me? Thank you." Qiao Xi smiled and took the fat chicken that died in an ugly way. It would be a snack for tonight.
"Hululu~" I caught it by myself, without asking my mother for help. Josh, just tell me what you want to eat in the future and I will catch it for you.
The little bear patted his chest, and the half-grown kid was quite arrogant.
"Okay, then our little bear will grow up quickly and become as big as the big stars, so that he can catch more delicious food for me." Qiao Xi hugged the little bear and responded seriously.
"Hulu~" Yes, I must be bigger and stronger than mother!
This little guy is really ambitious. Of course Josh coaxed it, saying that it will definitely be stronger and more powerful than its mother bear.
After some encouragement, the little bear walked with a lot more confidence and even dared to challenge his mother bear.
Watching the little bear run to the mother bear, grinning and whimpering a few times, Josh quickly turned his head just before the little bear was thrown away by the mother bear.
If you didn’t see it, it didn’t happen. There is nothing, nothing.
After getting along with each other, Qiao Xi discovered that although the little bear was injured before, the Moon Bear would rather lose its freedom and even its life to save the little bear, and its love for its children is very deep, but the relationship between them is not very warm.
Instead, they are like two naughty kids, one more naughty than the other.
Big Star would never give up the honey salad to the little bear just because he loved it, nor would he indulge the little bear when he was naughty.
Qiao Xi has seen Big Star bullying the little bear a lot these days, but this little stupid bear enjoys provoking its mother. Although it is often thrown out, its thick skin and tough flesh keep it from getting hurt.
As for the wound on his chest, it had basically healed, leaving only a long scar and a shaved chest that showed where he had suffered a serious injury.
For the Moon Bear, it is nothing. As long as its life is saved, there is no need to worry about recovery.
Qiao Xi was envious of this. This race has really strong talents. Even with such serious injuries, they had healed in just a few days.
Thank you babies for voting for me, many familiar babies, and new babies. Thank you. This is the second book I have written. There may be many problems, but you are so nice and gave me a lot of positive feedback. I will try my best to write it well. Thank you very much for your support.
