- Chapter 502: Battle of the Swarm 2
After returning home, Liu Junhao immediately called Er Mazi, Liu Qiyong and others, saying that they had discovered that there was a swarm of bees in the ground, and asked them to prepare people to come over immediately.
Nowadays, tourists are so bold. As soon as they heard that there was a lot of excitement, a large group of people gathered in Liu Junhao¡¯s courtyard. No matter how hard I tried to persuade him, I couldn't persuade him to leave. I wanted to see how powerful the legendary killer bees really were. [Search for the latest updates here.]
¡°Obviously they have no intuitive impression of the terror of the swarming swarms, and they all talked about it happily.
"Liu Junhao, are you sure whether it's a swarm of bees or a small wasp? Don't make everyone panic." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Er Mazi asked. There are two types of bees that make underground nests in Liujiagou. One is the more common small bumble bee, which is slightly smaller than bees and not very toxic. Liu Junhao and his colleagues often encountered it when they were digging mouse holes when they were young. The nest is about the size of an egg, and the largest one is the bee. No more than basketball.
There is also the ground wasp, which is bigger than a wasp, as thick as a little finger, and has black and yellow rings on its belly. There are tens of thousands of these things as soon as they appear, and their lethality and attack power are extremely powerful. They are the most ferocious of all bees. Precisely because the swarm was so terrifying, the people in Daqingshan were determined to get rid of it when they saw it.
The swarming bees generally build their hives underground, just like ants, by sucking mud chunks into their mouths until the ground is dug into a circular cavity. A large honeycomb has five or six floors, and each floor is as big as a pot lid. That's why there is a small mound on top, which is all mud lumps swarming out of the ground.
Speaking of the case where Liujiagou was stung by a swarm of wasps, it was Lao Niutou. More than ten years ago, when he was grazing cattle in the mountains, he accidentally led the ox through a mound. At that time, he didn't even notice that the ox's hind legs happened to step on the mound.
Because the ground was dug into a hollow, the mound was immediately trampled, and a black wind suddenly blew around, and countless swarms of swarms attacked the scalpers and the old cow head. The man in his fifties was so stupefied that he cried and screamed. If it weren't for someone in the village who happened to be planting crops on the mountain ridge and rushed to him after hearing the call, he was carried to a fellow doctor's home for treatment in time, which would have saved his life. Later, the local doctor treated his injuries and pulled out more than twenty poisonous thorns from his body.
The old scalper was not so lucky. By the time people found it, it was already dead.
¡°In addition to Liujiagou, many villagers in other villages were stung to death. In the past, there were relatively few pesticides in crop fields, but swarming bees were common. This thing is much rarer now. This is the second time Liu Junhao has seen it in his entire life. Of course, the first time was when Lao Niu was stung. He was more than ten years old at the time and he remembered it clearly.
"Is it true? The cowhide is so thick that even the venomous stings of ground swarms can penetrate it?" a tourist asked in confusion.
"It's rare to find many strange things. It can sting you even if you wear leather gloves. Do you think it's powerful or not?" Liu Qiyong followed behind.
"Xiao Hao, isn't this a specialty of Liujiagou like your native bees? In addition, they also produce honey, right?"
"My local bees are incomparable to this one. This thing is much more powerful. They mainly eat insects and occasionally collect nectar, even if there is some honey." Liu Junhao replied. In his mind, he seemed to have never heard of anyone collecting Diwo honey.
A group of people were noisy and soon came to the river embankment. Following the direction Liu Junhao pointed, they all saw a small dirt bag.
"It's really a swarm of bees" Er Mazi was so frightened that he squatted down when he saw a black bee passing over his head.
"What are you going to use to smoke the bees in the ground? Isn't it wild celery?" Seeing everyone holding fire-making utensils, the tourist who spoke earlier asked. He had seen flies smoked with wild celery in Liujiagou a few days ago, and the effect was surprisingly good.
"Wild celery is fine, but it's too toxic. After being smoked, the wasp pupae inside can't be eaten. They can also be smoked to death with wet firewood" Liu Qiyong explained.
Er Mazi divided the work on site and asked several people to go around and cut wormwood and mugwort leaves for use. These two plants have a strong smell and strong smoke, making them excellent materials for killing swarming bees. At this time of year, there is green grass everywhere, so there is no need to worry about causing fires. Now the sun is about to set, and the swarms of bees have returned to their nests, just in time to catch them all. In fact, night is the best time to eliminate the swarm of bees, but no one wants to run so far at night.
With the help of tourists, a group of people quickly cut several large piles of wormwood.
Liu Junhao and Liu Qiyong put on their raincoats and tied up their trouser legs, and then they carefully approached the soil bag holding the wheat straw they had obtained in advance. They moved very carefully, for fear of disturbing the swarm of bees on the ground.
They made a circle around the dry wheat straw, and the two men covered it with mugwort leaves.
The weather was a bit hot even wearing shirts, let alone wearing raincoats. Within a few minutes, both of them were covered in sweat.
There was a tight circle around the soil bag. Liu Junhao and Liu Junhao lit the wheat straw at the same time. Suddenly a thick smoke rose and they quickly formed a circle. Everyone stood in the distance and could no longer see the small dirt bag in the middle.
"Xiao Hao, take the bamboo pole" Er Mazi called from a distance and handed over a long bamboo pole.
Although the earthbag is tall, the inside has already been hollowed out. When the bamboo pole was pushed upward, a bang was heard in the thick smoke, and the earth bag collapsed.
Immediately afterwards, there was a buzzing sound, and countless black and yellow ground swarms crawled out of the cave, flashing their wings and rushing towards the thick smoke.
The scalps of the two people looking out of the thick smoke were numb, and they subconsciously moved further away.
They were worried for nothing. The power of wet mugwort leaves and wormwood was extremely powerful. As soon as those swarms took off, they fell into the fire like out-of-control fighter jets, leaving no chance to escape.
Seeing that there was no danger, Liu Junhao hurriedly picked up a few bundles of wheat straw and moxa leaves on the mound with bamboo poles to bloom in the middle.
While his accomplices were busy, Liu Qiyong began to look around for the entrance to the swarming cave. In addition to the main cave, the Diwo Bee also has several secondary cave entrances. If you let the swarms of bees escape from the nest, even if there are only two or three, it will be considered a failure, because no one can prevent their attacks! However, he searched around and found no swarms flying out. Apparently, there was also smoke at the secondary entrance. shrouded.
Liu Junhao kept picking firewood and adding to the fire. The frightened bees swarmed towards the hole in panic. Unfortunately, their wings ignited when exposed to fire and they could not fly at all. All they heard was a low and panicked "buzzing" sound coming from the hive. . In less than ten minutes, all the bees that came out of the cave were burned to death, and those who occasionally slipped through the net were just crawling and struggling on the ground.
"Is it almost done?" Liu Qiyong asked when he heard the sounds in the cave gradually disappearing.
"Yeah" Liu Junhao nodded, raised his foot and trampled the fish that slipped through the net to death.
¡°Let me get the shovel while you continue to light the fire,¡± Liu Qiyong said, and then walked toward the crowd in the distance.
¡°Let¡¯s get rid of the swarm of bees. Can we pass by?¡± an impatient tourist asked loudly.
"Don't panic, wait until you dig it out and take a look." Although it has been determined to be safe, Ermazi does not dare to let tourists take risks. Because there are likely to be adult bees nearby that are still capable of crawling, and it will be troublesome if they accidentally crawl into the pants.
The two were afraid of digging the hive to pieces, so they did not dig above the hole, but moved thirty to forty centimeters to both sides. The soil was so soft that it took just a few shovels to dig out the honeycomb.
Liu Junhao lit the fire very fiercely just now. When they opened the nest, they found that most of the bees had been smoked to death. Although a few managed to survive, they also lost their ability to attack.
The first layer of honeycomb is only slightly larger than the bowl, with a thickness of four to five centimeters, and it looks quite strong.
The two men continued to dig down, layer after layer, and the layers were connected by beeswax to form a whole. The area of ??the honeycomb gradually becomes larger, and the largest layer in the middle is already the size of a pot lid.
The dead bees on the ground were not wasted. This stuff is a medicinal material. It is very effective to make wine with it to treat rheumatism. There are people in the town who collect it for a dime each. Although the price is low, it can't stand the large quantity. There are probably thousands of bees in this hive, and it can be sold for four to five hundred yuan at least.
Liu Junhao did not waste any of them and swept them all into the snakeskin bag.
After digging to the bottom, they discovered that the hive was larger than expected, with seven floors in total. When the honeycomb is taken out, it looks very unique. From a distance, it looks like a seven-story exquisite pagoda. Before they could take a breath, a tourist had already offered 500 yuan to buy it.
"You want to buy it for five hundred yuan. The one in Xiaohao Courtyard sold for thousands of yuan last time." Er Mazi refused to sell it.
After wrapping the hive in plastic sheeting, the two men relaxed and ran away. After confirming that there were no live bees missing from their bodies, the two men quickly took off their helmets and raincoats.
"Good guys, it's not easy to burn this swarm of bees. The two of them are now as if they were fished out of the water, they are all wet. Liu Junhao and Liu Junhao left the hive to Er Mazi and rushed home to change clothes.
"Did you burn it?" Zhang Qian asked eagerly when her husband came back in a panic.
"It's okay, it's OK now,"
In line with the principle of sharing for those who meet, after arriving at Er Mazi¡¯s house, Liu Junhao asked the tourists present to pick some pickled wine to drink.
After sorting out the bees, several people started picking out the young bees. Although these young wasps have not yet broken through the seal and left the nest, they still have terrible poisonous stingers. It can also cause harm to people if it climbs out of the nest, so it must be removed early.
While they were picking, they didn't notice that a big rooster from Er Mazi's family rushed up to them and pecked out seven or eight young bees in two bites.
Several people hurriedly stretched out their hands to drive them away, but before they could take any action, the old rooster suddenly jumped up with a cluck and fluttered like crazy.??The wings rushed to the roof.
Within two minutes, it fell down. When Liu Junhao rushed over, the rooster could no longer move. I saw a huge swollen lump on the chicken leg, and there was a wasp sitting on it.
It¡¯s so poisonous that one stings a big rooster to death. No tourists think Er Mazi is trying to scare them.
After getting rid of the young bees, the remaining thing is much simpler, which is to pick the bee pupae.
This bee pupa is a bit larger than the Jade Emperor bee pupa. The price is not as high as that of the Jade Emperor bee pupa, but it is not low either. When Liu Junhao called Huo Jun, he had already offered to buy it at a price of 100 yuan per catty. As for the hive, he had naturally booked it in advance.
This trip is very dangerous, but the rewards are not small. The bee pupae picked out from the hive alone weighed seven or eight pounds. They didn't plan to sell all of them, but kept a pound to sell them for dinner and dinner at night. .
