Chapter 262 This bee has a good temper and doesn’t sting people, let’s get rid of it!
"Dad, bees can sting people!" Wu Dahua said, pulling him.

"You don't know this, do you? As long as you keep your distance from the hive, decent bees generally won't attack you."

"There are many kinds of bees. Some produce a lot of honey and have good tempers, while others produce less honey and are aggressive!"

"I'll be careful and go see what kind of bee it is."

As Dahua's father spoke, he strode towards the direction where the squirrel had just escaped.

"Let's go take a look too!"

Chen Hui also became interested and pulled An Wenjing along, keeping a certain distance from Dahua's father.

Dad Dahua walked a few meters away.

Look left, look right.

He turned around and asked Chen Hui, "Brother, did you see any bees or hear any noise?"

"You know how to ask people."

Chen Hui muttered in his heart, walked forward and pretended to observe the surroundings, pointed his finger and said uncertainly: "Maybe it's this way."

Dahua's father did not doubt it. He walked more than ten meters in the direction of Chen Hui's finger and saw a few bees passing by.

A bee landed on a branch near me.

Dahua's father reached out and grabbed it, looked at it for a while, and said to Wu Dahua: "Dahua, run back to the vegetable garden and bring over the clean bucket that you brought the rice in!"

"Uncle, are you going to collect honey? What kind of bee is this?" Chen Hui asked.

Dahua brought the bee in his hand closer, pointed at it with his other hand and said:

"Look at this bee. It's small and its back is a little red, not yellow."

"The most obvious thing is here. There are three white stripes here. Do you see them? Other bees don't have them."

"This is a small hanging bee. A nest can harvest a lot of honey. The most important thing is that it has a good temper! I have harvested it several times. As long as you move slowly and gently, you will hardly get stung."

Chen Hui took the bee from Dahua's father and looked at it.

Apart from its smaller size and the white line on its back, it is no different from other black and yellow bees we see in daily life.

"Uncle, you know so much!" An Wenjing said with a thumbs up.

"Hey, it's nothing. Anyone who has worked in the mountains since childhood knows a little bit about it."

"If nothing else, you must know which bees to avoid when you see them. It's a matter of life and death."

Dahua's father is obviously not used to being praised.

I smiled embarrassedly, looked at the small bees occasionally passing by, and lost my direction again.

With a smile, he asked Chen Hui: "Where are we going next?"

Chen Hui thought that being too accurate in following directions would not work, so he deliberately led Dahua's father to the wrong place.

I could clearly feel that there were fewer little bees around me, so I turned around and walked back.

After several rounds of twists and turns, when Wu Dahua came back with the bucket, the few of them finally found the location of the beehive.

The hive is on a low branch with leaves stacked up above it, forming a natural umbrella cover.

Dahua's father smiled brightly when he saw Beehive, and pointed at Beehive and said:

"Wow! This beehive is so big. No wonder I can see so many bees from such a distance."

"Big Huazai, give me the bucket!"

Wu Dahua handed over the bucket.

Dad Dahua took it and placed it at the location of the beehive, and asked them to step back a few steps.

He broke off a branch and slowly pried it inside along the branch where the beehive was hanging.

Many small bees flew out and landed on Dahua's palms and arms.

But judging by his reaction, they didn't attack him.

"It's still possible to get stung like this, right? Why don't you use smoke to drive away all the bees first?" Chen Hui asked puzzled.

"Haha, you don't understand!"

"This bee has a good temper. It won't sting you even if it lands on you. Just run away from it when you land." "Take the bee back with you. Fry it and it will be delicious when you eat with wine or rice!" Dad Dahua explained as he cooked.

"If you are a good-tempered person, you will be bullied. If you are a good-tempered bee, you will be eaten."

"It turns out that having too good a temper will bring you harm." An Wenjing said with emotion.

"Since you can take it back, why not raise it! This way you will have endless honey to eat in the future." Chen Hui asked again.

"I can't support him. I can't support him at all!"

"I took them home and tried a few times, but they all died within a few days and ate the original honey."

Dahua's father said this, reminding them to walk further away, squat down and not move.

He also took a few steps back, used a stick to lift it up, and quickly fell to the ground, pretending that he was a stone.

There was a snapping sound as the honeycomb fell.

A large group of small bees flew out, making a faint buzzing sound.

After taking a round of inspection, most of them flew back into the bucket and lingered around the beehive.

A small part fell on Chen Hui and a few others.

"Brother Chen Hui!"

Two or three of them crawled onto An Wenjing's face. She didn't dare to move or run away. She cried softly and looked at Chen Hui for help.

"Don't be afraid! Trust your uncle's experience." Chen Hui winked at the other side.

There were many more bees on Dahua's body than them, but he remained calm and motionless.

After a while, the little bees also left.

There were only one or two persistent little wasps left, and they were killed with a few slaps.

Dahua's father folded a bunch of leaf-shaped numbers and covered the bucket tightly with them.

He made sure there wasn't even a gap for honey to fly out, and he picked up the bucket and said happily, "This nest of pure honey can probably be sold for five or six dollars, right?"

"."

Chen Hui thought, just for these five or six dollars, more than an hour was wasted.

Seeing Chen Hui's disappointment, Dahua said generously:

"It's you who discovered the honey today, so I'll give you some of the money from selling the honey."

"If you buy a tree later, I'll charge you two dollars less! If you don't buy a tree today, let Dahua go home and give you two dollars!"

Chen Hui knew that he had misunderstood.

He waved his hand and smiled, "You don't have to share the money with me, but I like this honey very much, so why not sell it to me."

It doesn't matter who you sell the goods to.

If Chen Hui agreed to it, he wouldn't have to go to town.

Dahua's father was so happy that he was about to agree immediately, but then he changed his mind and said with some embarrassment:

"There are still a lot of bees in here, and the honeycomb is edible. Can I take it back and process it for you?"

"Or, let's say I give you seven dollars in total, I'll give you two dollars, and you'll give me five dollars?"

Chen Hui and An Wenjing looked at each other, and both smiled in tacit understanding.

Finally I understand where Wu Dahua's style of being unwilling to take a penny loss and always wanting to take advantage of small benefits comes from.

"Okay, give them all to me!" Chen Hui said simply.

After collecting the honey, Dahua's father took Chen Hui and An Wenjing to see a smaller plum tree, about two meters tall.

Chen Hui and An Wenjing discussed for a while.

An Wenjing wants to choose a small tree because it bears more and sweeter fruits.

Chen Hui wanted to choose a big tree because big trees look majestic and he wouldn't need to eat a few plums anyway.

"Isn't this easy to solve? Why don't you buy two trees, one big and one small?" Wu Dahua said.
